From the stone-floored Great Hall to the twisting alleys of Diagon Alley, the Studio’s sets show where key Harry Potter scenes were filmed. See the actual Hogwarts Express, walk through the Forbidden Forest, and explore iconic spaces like Dumbledore’s office, Gringotts Bank, and Professor Sprout’s working greenhouse.

Props at the Studio Tour are full of quirky detail. Potions classrooms are lined with labelled jars filled with bones and herbs. Memory vials show familiar names in Dumbledore’s office. The joke shop is packed with strange items, including a 20-foot mannequin and a vomiting candy dispenser that actually moves.

The costume department designed hundreds of pieces across the films, including romantic Yule Ball gowns, protective Quidditch gear, and Beauxbatons uniforms in signature blue. You can also spot personal heirlooms in the final scene, where each item tells you something about the character’s journey across the series.

At the Studio, you’ll learn how visual tricks were created with hands-on props. The Chamber door snakes move via hidden motors. Invisibility cloaks used green lining for digital vanishing. Green screen zones let you fly a broom and see how backgrounds were added later.

The Studio showcases the incredible craftsmanship behind magical creatures. Animatronics like Buckbeak the Hippogriff and the giant spider Aragog were designed to move realistically, with hand-inserted feathers and hair. Creature teams also created lifelike goblin masks and a massive serpent head for fight scenes.

The Art Department designed everything from castle models and magical books to set blueprints. Their crown jewel is a hand-built Hogwarts castle, complete with real gravel, tiny lights and landscaping, used alongside digital effects to create breathtaking views of the school on screen.
