The first major set built for the films, the Great Hall features original house costumes, stone floors from a real monastery, and centuries-old-style banquet tables. It’s where key moments from sorting ceremonies to seasonal feasts were filmed.
Headout is an authorized and trusted partner of the venue, offering curated experiences to enjoy this attraction.
Real sets, real props, real magic! With Harry Potter Studios London tickets, you’ll explore everything from the Hogwarts Express to Aragog’s lair, right where the films were shot. It’s a behind-the-scenes look at the craft that turned a book series into blockbuster cinema.
The studio tour offers a full behind-the-scenes experience inside the original filming location. Learn how each scene was crafted using real sets, visual effects, and detailed production techniques.
Every set is the real thing, not a re-creation. Visit iconic locations from the films, including the Hogwarts Express, Dumbledore’s office, the Great Hall, the Forbidden Forest, and the Potions Classroom, each filled with original props and finishing details.
Kids and adults alike can complete fun challenges like collecting stamps in a Potter Passport or spotting hidden golden snitches across the studio, encouraging a more hands-on and playful experience throughout the visit.
Start with Butterbeer pancakes and other hot foods at the Food Hall, grab a glass of Butterbeer at the Backlot Café, and enjoy some sweet treats at the Chocolate Frog Café. If you’re planning ahead, definitely book the Hogwarts-style dinner or Afternoon Tea in a Great Hall-inspired setting.
You’ll find multiple gift shops packed with studio-exclusive items, including detailed replicas, themed apparel, and collectibles. It’s the best place to pick up meaningful souvenirs tied directly to the films.
The studio constantly refreshes its displays, so returning fans always have something different to see. In autumn, the Dark Arts event fills the sets with eerie lighting, floating pumpkins, and Death Eater duels. At Christmas, “Hogwarts in the Snow” brings snowfall, decorations, and festive Hogwarts scenes.
The Studio showcases incredibly detailed props like potion jars filled with butcher bones and dried herbs, hundreds of memory vials with handwritten labels, and a joke shop machine that theatrically dispenses Puking Pastilles, magical sweets that cause fake vomiting. Every piece was made by skilled artists and designers.
From Hermione’s layered Yule Ball gown to the sporty Quidditch gear and Beauxbatons’ iconic blue uniforms, the Studio showcases original costumes designed to reflect each character’s personality, setting, and storyline. Every detail, fabric choice, and accessory has a purpose and a story.
Though it looks like CGI, the Chamber door’s moving snakes are fully mechanical, created to open onscreen without visual edits. The invisibility cloak’s green lining made characters vanish in post-production. You can try a similar effect using green screen and broomstick rigs at the Studio.
See how lifelike creatures were brought to screen using giant animatronics and expert handcraft. From a 30-foot serpent with slithering jaws to a spider needing 15 puppeteers, each magical beast was built with astonishing detail using feathers, fur, prosthetics and real animal references.
You can see how artists built an entire world using models, sketches and handmade props. The enormous Hogwarts castle model alone took 86 people to create and features real plants, lights and even miniature stonework inspired by historic castles and the Scottish Highlands.
Plan and navigate Warner Bros. Harry Potter™ Studio Tour London using this map.
No. All tickets must be booked in advance online. The Studio Tour frequently sells out, especially during weekends and school holidays.
Early morning or late afternoon slots tend to be quieter. Weekdays during term time offer the lowest visitor numbers compared to weekends and school holidays.
You should arrive 20 minutes before your time slot. They allow some flexibility, but entry isn’t guaranteed if you’re late by more than 10-20 minutes.
Yes. The first entry gives you more breathing room to see sets with fewer people. The last entry lets you linger, as there’s no group coming in after you.
You can bring your own food and use the designated picnic area. The Food Hall and Backlot Café also have hot meals, Butterbeer ice cream, and snacks.
Butterbeer is not included. You can purchase it during your visit at the Backlot Café, available as a drink or soft-serve ice cream.
No. Once you enter, it’s a one-way route. Visitors cannot return to the car park or exit and come back in later.
It features low lighting, giant spiders, and atmospheric effects like smoke and thunder. If you’d like to avoid it, staff can help you take an alternate route.
Yes. Digital Guides are available in multiple languages and include subtitles and video clips. They’re rented on-site for a small fee.
Yes, but the minimum recommended age is around 5. Some areas, like the Forbidden Forest, may be frightening. Children under 4 enter for free, but still need a timed ticket.
Yes, except in the cinema introduction and green screen areas. Flash photography is discouraged in darker sections, and tripods or selfie sticks aren’t allowed.
Had a wonderful experience. The pick n drop were planned and on time. The entry was smooth. The whole experience of Warner Bros Studio was out of the world,worth a visit if you are in London.
Everything was perfect except the bus was not the one in the picture (the double decker with the Harry Potter advertisement) but the driver was very helpful and friendly.
Having pre booked coach transport to and from the Harry Potter Studio made the day so much more relaxed. The on board video was a good introduction to the studio, but the quality of pictures and text on the headrest screens wasn't great. The studio exhibits were excellent, with loads of details and insights throughout that I'd not known beforehand. All in all, a wonderful, enjoyable and hassle free day!
My boys and I , Harry Potter fans, experienced a day completely immersed in a magical atmosphere! Beautiful experience
You walk through the original movie sets, be it the great hall or the train station, Winkelgasse and many others. It was overwhelming
I spent the day there with my little nephew, 10 years old and a big fan. He loved everything about it, especially the great hall, the Hogwarts model and the diagonal alley.
Everything was perfect. I would have put 5 stars, but the bus for transport was a normal bus, not the double-decker bus with the HP theme.
I loved the experience, it was wonderful and super magical!!!
It was great. And easy to locate.
Diagon Alley, Gringotts, Gringotts and Dragon, Hagrid's head, Dobby.
The driver was very rude, and impatient. Otherwise it was a great time. But the food wasnt very good at the WB so if you can wait for something better.
The studios are spectacular and the experience is unique. But we lacked time to see all the rooms and information about the tour to be able to adjust the visit to the time available. We were scheduled for 10:30 but arrived earlier, and were able to enter at 10 am. Even so, the return at 14:15 was too early to see and enjoy all the rooms.
The studios are great, lots of original props and great explanations of the special effects. The return transportation by bus worked really well and is definitely recommended.
The scenery was great! The staff were very friendly! All in all, simply excellent. Time was a bit tight at the end
Everything was just great! The transportation there and back was great, everything was perfect! And the rest was simply magical ...
Sencillo reservar con la aplicación. El transporte muy fácil de encontrar y el personal muy agradable. Un trato excelente. La excursión nos encantó. Al principio no parecía gran cosa pero medida que pasábamos de una sala a otra, aumentaba la ilusión y la emoción. Que grata sorpresa😊 Booking was easy with the app. Transportation was very easy to find, and the staff was very friendly. Excellent service. We loved the tour. At first, it didn't seem like much, but as we moved from room to room, the excitement and excitement grew. What a pleasant surprise!
The bus was comfortable and on time. The tour is a once in a lifetime experience. It was really nice. My son enjoyed a lot.
Very nice experience, the studios were great The transportation was a bit lacking in terms of information and guidance but all in all it was good
Was only a little worried that the passenger list was not checked on the return trip. Otherwise very efficient and enjoyable experience. Much appreciated.
The transportation was very punctual and comfortable. The entrance had no lines, and we were able to make the most of our time exploring the entire exhibit, which was very enjoyable. Everything beautifully recreates the Harry Potter universe and is very interesting for both children and adults.
Harry Potter is simply fantastic. Everything was very well organized with the arrival and then in the film studios we were of course not the only ones, but still: worth an experience - even if you are not a Harry Potter fan
A wonderful experience beyond initial expectations. A guide of great professionalism and with a very very interesting speech. We have seen the park from another perspective
The smooth organization from pick up through the actual visit until returning to London. Everyone was also so friendly and professional
Everything went smoothly as booked. Despite the earlier arrival at the studios, we were able to start the tour straight away. 👍
While pretty overpriced, the tour bus transportation included with admission was efficient and convenient. No complaints about the driver or the tour guide.

The tour itself was great and I recommend Warner Bros Harry Potter studios to everyone. Wonderful experience. But the bus should return people to the same spot they pick us up from, we were confused at night since we didn't know where we were dropped off. And they should consider picking people up/return them from/to their hotel since this is kinda expencive trip. And there is no movie on the bus.
A great bus driver, punctual departure, everything well organized. Unfortunately not in the Harry Potter bus as expected, but in a "normal" coach. That would have been my highlight.
It was like in the film. We loved every moment of our trip. The time was enough but you need to check it because it may pass quickly. The bus was comfortable.
We found the tour incredibly interesting, even if we're not the biggest fans, it's definitely worth seeing all the sets from the movies and learning the background behind them 😊

Wow 🤩 We absolutely loved our whole experience with Headout. My Harry Potter friend flew in from Adelaide and was keen for the tour. Easy booking system, we were kept up to date with notifications and reminders. Easy coach transfer to Harry Potter World. Amazing experience that we will definitely be recommending to friends and family. We also loved trying the 'Butter Beer' on the studio tour.
It was pretty cool. I was so excited 😃
Everything was on time and well organized !
Organization, punctuality, courtesy.
I loved the experience, it was wonderful and super magical!!!
It was great. And easy to locate.
More than I was expecting to get! Was a great experience!
Diagon Alley, Gringotts, Gringotts and Dragon, Hagrid's head, Dobby.
Very well done from start to finish. All of the team members were very nice and helpful.
Easy transfers. The park is spectacular! We didn't have enough time, 4 hours is not enough time to walk around it at leisure.
Everything worked wonderfully, the pick-up to the studio and the return transport was all very well organized. The 4 hours on site were well calculated, we were able to see everything very well and take great pictures.
Purchasing the tickets was quite easy. The site is definitely reliable. The only flaw: The more comfortable bus would have been the best. In any case the experience was definitely positive
The driver was very rude, and impatient. Otherwise it was a great time. But the food wasnt very good at the WB so if you can wait for something better.

Our guide made the tour so fun and interesting. We love all her stories telling and jokes. Thanks for making it a memorable Oxford experience for me and my family.
It was an experience unbelievable !
Our guide George did not burden us with the bus ride. Marc, the driver, was really professional. The visit to the studios very enjoyable although there were too many moments of waiting with English chatter which of course the children do not appreciate and after a while they get nervous. But this depends on the Warner proposal and not on your service
Nick was a very good guide, he told everything very clearly and was very funny. In Oxford we had some rain, but even that didn't damp the tour.
It was an awsome experience. our guide amber really take it to the next level . she make every thing interesting. the best guide ever. highly recommended
We really enjoyed the tour. Our three children also enjoyed Oxford, our local guide Chris was fabulous and enriched the city tour with lots of funny stories. The guide on the bus, Dan, also made our time on the bus pass quickly with lots of amusing anecdotes and stories about things worth knowing about London. The 4 hours in the Harry Potter Studios were also great, you manage to see everything. With more time you could of course read through everything more intensively, but it was definitely very good as it was. A clear recommendation from all of us.
We had an amazing time with Valentina and Chris! Valentina woke us all up on the bus with her jokes and her expansive history knowledge. Chris was our amazing local guide in Oxford and kept everyone engaged. He was amazing at keeping us safe and our wallets safer with great reccommendations for shops and cafes! Everyone was so amazing with this experience that I definately will be recommending it to everyone I know looking for a fun Harry Potter trip!
Tour Guide was amazing and funny. Really did a great job and the travel time was shorter thanks to his entertainment in the bus😁🙌. Harry Potter Studio Tour is a must see for a fan. Amazing!
Holy smokes, what an absolutely EPIC day! If you're even thinking about doing the Harry Potter Warner Bros. Studio Tour with a Day Trip to Oxford from London, stop thinking and just BOOK IT! Seriously, this was a five-star experience from start to finish. Our journey started with Dan, who was nothing short of phenomenal. He wasn't just a guide; he was a walking, talking encyclopedia of awesome historical facts and background. The drive to Oxford and then on to the Warner Bros. Studios flew by thanks to his captivating commentary. He kept us engaged and provided such fantastic context for everything we were about to see. And then there was Debbie leading our Oxford adventure! Oh my goodness, Debbie was an absolute blast. She brought Oxford to life with her fun and vibrant personality. We learned so much and laughed even more. Both Dan and Debbie were brilliant at answering every single question thrown their way – no matter how obscure! They are a dynamic duo who made this trip truly unforgettable. If you want a day packed with magic, history, and a whole lot of fun, you HAVE to experience this tour with Dan and Debbie. You won't regret.
I was expecting a tour of Oxford really filming around Harry Potter filming location ect ... a bus related to Harry Potter but not a history course on Oxford we were very disappointed an experience that I would do more with you.
Simply amazing!!!!. Oxford beautiful and the studios full of magic. An experience not to be missed!!!!!. 100% recommendable.
The tour was very well organized. The guide did a great job so that it wasn't boring. The tour of the studios was really great. Very worth seeing.
It was super to see Harry Potter studios
The tour guide was so lovely and caring, besides getting to know Oxford and the studios was simply unique for me
Lucy is a great tour operator, she made it exceptionally fun.
Increíble of you Love the behind the scenes
We loved our guide Debbie in oxford. Harry Potter studio experience was also awesome.

A wonderful experience beyond initial expectations. A guide of great professionalism and with a very very interesting speech. We have seen the park from another perspective
I was surprised at how much we enjoyed this adventure. Having a dedicated guide was amazing. We went back through after the official tour was over to make sure we saw everything we wanted. I would do this again and would highly recommend it to others.
Excellent organization to visit the Harry Potter studios. Impeccable and speedy travel from London by train and shuttle, one guide for the journey and one guide for the tour itself with a small group of eight, our guide, Kyle, was exceptional, over a four-hour duration! A little more expensive, but definitely worth it, plus they have availability with little notice although the site itself is "sold out".
Beautiful experience if you are a fan of the saga. It takes more time than we thought. You could spend the whole day there. You learn a lot about what it takes to make a movie, the amount of people that work, the sacrifice that such a production represents for everyone involved. It's really worth it.
Great tour, Alex our guide was very knowledgeable.
It was a great experience, a little expensive.
We doubted for a moment that someone was actually coming to pick us up at the pick-up spot because the one who was there was a little later. But fortunately there were more waiting. The guidance was good from the starting point to the studios. Via this route very pleasant to get there. Once there we were guided in a small group by an enthusiastic gentleman. Highly recommended! Costs a bit but you have more value for money and day.
Everything! Specifics - Will our tour guide was great! Specifically his insight into everything. - Being in the actual locations of filming - Seeing how things were done (props / designs) - All the interactive elements of the displays --- Only issue the whole day was there were too many people going home at once for the shuttles running.
Great insights about the making of, the ideas and the many details within the Harry Potter movies. Very impressive and very well explained by our very and knowlegeable and highly motivated and smart guide Miriam (I hope the name is correct! 😉)
We really enjoyed the guided tour of the Harry Potter studios. It was worth booking the private tour. They explained things very well and we avoid some queues. The staff was very friendly. 🙂
Incrediable to learn all the details of making the movies
It was easy to find the guide, because the coordinates led you right to him. We got into the Warner Bross Harry Potter museum quickly and the tour guide was fantastic, attentive and child-centred.
We had asked for a guide in French, she only spoke two words in French, the children didn't understand anything, no possibility of stopping to take our photos, really disappointed.
All those details the guide explained during the guided tour! Awesome! Just amazing.

There were too many queues inside the attraction. Too many people at the same time in the halls, so we couldn't get a good look. We were jostled. With children, this is neither pleasant nor acceptable. We didn't experience this at any of the other major attractions in Europe.
The pick up was great! So was the driver. The Harry potter tour was amazing, on point
Excellent experience. 4 hours were not enough time. I regretted not having stayed there and returned on my own.
I've seen other Harry Potter exhibits before, but this is the best as it includes major sets as well as costumes. I thoroughly enjoyed the interactive aspect of some of the exhibits as well!
The driver informed us in advance via Whattsapp when he would pick us up at the hotel. He was super punctual. The 4 hours at Warner Brothers Studio were very impressive.
We have booked Harry Potter in London and the organisation are verry good. The pickup from the Hotel was greate incl. transfer to the Studios. We will book again by headout
The studio tour is absolutely fantastic. But the cab ride was inadequate: the driver was over an hour late. That might still happen. However, the pick-up time was not pushed back, so I also had an hour less time for the tour.
Ease of purchase and receipt of tickets
Harry Potter was great but the tour guide was very stressed and called several times before the agreed departure time and wrote WhatsApps that we could / should go
Great driver, very punctual and flexible. Top service all round.
A journey into another reality. Rated 10

Everything right on time and seamless. Very kind and helpful guide who assisted us through to Warner Bros studio gates and gave helpful hints and instructions. Would recomend to anyone!
Everything was actually quite ok. But in the end it was quite expensive... for the fact that you were "only" there and were then on your own. The return bus transfer was a disaster. We had to wait 80!!! minutes standing in the queue because no more bis came, although there were at least 5 Harry Potter buses in the parking lot. As a vacationer, we would have really preferred to make better use of this time!
Our guide was amazing! The meeting location was easy to find. 10/10 and totally recommended if you are looking for tickets to the studio tour!
At least we got a slot to enter the studio tour on short notice. But the guide was just to the door of the studio and not around the studio itself. I wonder what the extra £40/person was for.
Great!!! From the reservation until we were dropped off at the Harry Potter studios! In the app everything was detailed, I had a question and they answered me quickly. The guys who took care of us, very nice, were waiting for us at the meeting point in advance!!! Very attentive to us. It has been a wonderful experience, along with the studies!!!! I recommend it 100%
It was great,, we met the guide at the time and got the instructions . Everything was fantastic . Thanks a lot.
THERE WERE PROBLEMS WITH THE RETURN. THE BUSES WERE NOT PRESENT AT THE PARKING LOT AND THE LINE WAS ENDLESS. THERE WAS NO ONE FROM ASSISTANCE PRESENT . i think it is appropriate to intensify transportation in the face of such a large number of visitors. WE PAID AN UBER TO GET TO THE STATION FOR THE RETURN TRIP.
WB itself was great. The guide however failed to communicate properly with the group, even when there was a delay to train. He certainly felt very disconnected and uninterested in his role. This did not set the scene well for the day . He also should have given better advice re return journey - we ended up on a much slower train than necessary as a result. Hard not to feel that we could have done a better job without an organized tour
The meeting point was centrally located and easy to reach.
The film studios far exceeded my expectations. The experience was just great. I can only recommend it to everyone
