Tour The Extraordinary Harry Potter Studio Sets | Why Visit, Highlights And Visitors Tips
Why are Harry Potter Studio sets a must-visit?
- Walk the Great Hall: The Great Hall was central to the Harry Potter movies until the end. You can walk the length of the hall and see original props from the movies.
- Discover amazing creatures: Professor Dumbledore warned against entering the Forbidden Forest, but being you has its privileges. Dare the darkness to see amazing creatures.
- Ride the Hogwarts Express: Train rides don't get any better. Standing pretty on Platform 9¾ is the rustic Hogwarts Express, ready to take you back to the movies.
- Grab a wand: Ollivander's wand shop on Diagon Alley was the beginning of every great wizard. It’s time you began your journey.
- Open a bank account: You probably have several bank accounts but Gringotts Wizarding Bank is different. Imagine depositing cheques with goblins.
- Pull out a potted Mandrake: Learn Herbology with Professor Sprout and look out for the Venomous Tentacula hanging from the ceiling as you walk through Professor Sprout's Greenhouse.

The Great Hall
Few locations in the Harry Potter movies held greater significance than the Great Hall. Harry was assigned to Gryffindor in the Great Hall, and it served as the backdrop in the Battle of Hogwarts in The Deathly Hallows – Part 2. It is as important as many characters in the movies, so it has been carefully preserved. You can see where the professors sat and check out students' costumes from each Hogwarts house in the Great Hall set.
The Forbidden Forest
Every spooky and dangerous place in Harry Potter got better with time, but not the Forbidden Forest. It stayed lethal until the end, which is probably why Dumbledore had advised students against going in it. Fortunately, the rule doesn't apply to you, so you can explore it to your heart's content. The set in Warner Bros. Studio Tours is home to amazing creatures like Aragog, Buckbeak, and trees having diameters over 12 feet.

Platform 9¾
Platform 9¾ was the start and end of Harry Potter. It brought Harry to the world of magic in The Philosopher's Stone, and years later, his son, Albus Severus Potter, set for Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry from the same place. This makes Platform 9¾ one of the most intriguing sets in Harry Potter™ Studio Tours London. You can explore the entire set and board the iconic Hogwarts Express.

Diagon Alley
Every location evolved with Harry Potter movies. Diagon Alley was no different. Its shops, buildings, and construction constantly changed, but the Diagon Alley set inside Warner Bros. Studios retains the best of it from different Harry Potter movies. From Gringotts Bank to Flourish and Blotts to Ollivander's wand shop, the Diagon Alley set in Warner Bros Harry Potter™ Studios is unmissable.
Know more
Gringotts Wizarding Bank
Regular people run most banks. Gringotts was special because it was managed by goblins. Yes, goblins! Fortunately, the bank itself wasn't diminutive, sporting amazing marble pillars and a grand banking hall with crystal chandeliers. You can see its grandeur at the Warner Bros Harry Potter™ Studios and wonder what Harry, Ron, and Hermione gained from destroying the bank on a Ukrainian Ironbelly dragon.
Professor Sprout's Greenhouse
Herbology didn't get as much screen time as Dark Arts. Still, it was fun, especially the scene in Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets where potted Mandrakes created havoc. Professor Sprout's Greenhouse as part of Harry Potter London sets has Mandrakes and other exotic and magical plants. Venomous Tentacula hanging from the ceiling is also an attraction in the greenhouse.
