If it hadn't been for the memory vials, Professor Dumbledore wouldn't have sent Harry on a hunt for Horcruxes. Professor Horace Slughorn's memory, which featured his interaction with Tom Riddle about Horcruxes, led Dumbledore and Harry to victory over Lord Voldemort. The memory cabinet is, therefore, central to the movies and has been preserved carefully inside Warner Bros. Harry Potter™ Studio London. Almost 900 memory vials labeled with characters' names are displayed in Professor Dumbledore's office.
Say whatever you will, but you've got to hand it to Fred and George Weasley. The twins were at the receiving end of their antics but never stopped. Puking Pastilles was their most profound invention, a disgusting sweet but one that could help you avoid class. It's one of the craziest props at the Warner Bros. Harry Potter™ Studio London. The Puking Pastilles dispenser is equally fun, created by Head Propmaker Pierre Bohanna.
Diagon AlleyPotions were boring, which explains why most students hated them in Harry Potter. However, they dictated large parts of the movies and almost killed Ronald Weasley. Ensure you aren't caught in a love potion when you explore the 950+ potion jars on display in the Potions classrooms. Every jar is as interesting as the other, from baked animal bones to dried leaves, herbs, and shrunken heads.
Special effectsProfessor Umbridge was among the most hated characters in the Harry Potter movies. Her office wasn't as revolting and organized aesthetically and the color pink dominated the scene. Her collection of plates with moving kittens was interesting and can still be seen in her office at the Warner Bros. Harry Potter™ Studio London. Avoid touching unless you want to be tortured by her.
