Check Out The Harry Potter Studio Tour Map

Start at the lobby where you'll find the information desk, audio guide pickup, restrooms, food options, and the main shop. This area also features an enormous dragon suspended overhead and early props like Hagrid’s motorcycle.

The tour begins in Hogwarts’ famous dining hall, complete with original long tables, house point counters, student costumes, and staff robes. Seasonal decorations often change based on special events like Dark Arts or Hogwarts in the Snow.

See Harry and Ron’s four-poster beds, the cosy fireplace, and all the tiny personal details that made these sets feel like home. The surrounding common room features portraits, furniture, and magical props true to every film.

Wander through the spiral staircase into the headmaster’s study, filled with ancient tomes, memory vials, the Pensieve, and the Sword of Gryffindor. Keep an eye out for the moving portraits and hidden props from key scenes.

Rows of glass jars, handwritten labels, and over 950 unique potion containers line the shelves. At the front, Snape’s teaching desk stands surrounded by cauldrons that stir themselves, thanks to motion-triggered magic effects built into the set.

Peer into the half-giant’s rustic living space, with oversized furnishings and Fang’s dog bed. The hut captures Hagrid’s quirky personality and includes key objects like the dragon egg and the enormous crossbow mounted above the door.

Experience the Weasley family’s magical home, complete with self-washing dishes, enchanted knitting, and flickering fireplaces. This set includes interactive features where you can trigger special effects that were used in scenes from multiple films.

This dark, elegant set was used during scenes with Voldemort and his followers. The long table, snake centerpiece, and chilling atmosphere are striking in person. Look closely at the details because it’s easy to miss the subtle use of symbolic props.

Massive green-tiled walls, golden statues, and spinning newspaper props recreate the oppressive atmosphere of the wizarding government. The phone booth entrance and magical fireplaces show how actors transitioned through sets using practical and digital effects combined.

Walk into the shadowy forest where giant spiders lurk and trees tower overhead. Buckbeak bows to guests, Aragog emerges from darkness, and special lighting and sound effects shift the mood in this atmospheric part of the studio.

Board the actual Hogwarts Express used in filming. The set includes the train exterior, a luggage trolley through the wall, and passenger compartments dressed to match specific film scenes, including the trolley cart moment from the first movie.

This midway point offers hot meals and Butterbeer. Outside, you can visit the Knight Bus, Number 4 Privet Drive, the Hogwarts Bridge, and the exterior of the Potters’ house in Godric’s Hollow—all open-air and great for photos.

This area reveals how magical beasts and creatures were brought to life. See full-size models of goblins, werewolves, house-elves, and dragons. Animatronics, prosthetics, and scale models are shown alongside videos explaining how each creature was animated.

The towering marble bank, with crystal chandeliers, goblin desks, and polished stone floors await your arrival. This set is one of the largest and most detailed. After walking through, you’ll experience a destroyed vault and a fire-breathing dragon finale.

Cobbled streets and crooked shopfronts recreate the bustling wizard marketplace. From Ollivanders to Flourish and Blotts, the shops are filled with original signs, props, and costumes. Each building has unique design elements, showing the level of craftsmanship used.

The tour ends with a breathtaking large-scale model of Hogwarts Castle used for exterior shots. The lighting cycles through day and night, showing how artists create realistic shadows and atmosphere during filming.
