Tour Schedule

Prepare to experience the truly incredible Warner Bros. Studio Tour London. This is your chance to secure some of the most sought-after tickets available. You’ll discover the grandiose sets, all your favourite props, and witness the immense craftsmanship that brought the iconic Harry Potter films to life.

Your foray into the magical Wizarding World begins exactly where Harry’s did – at the humble cupboard under the stairs. After an introductory video featuring some of your most beloved characters, you are welcomed into the magnificent Great Hall. Here, you’ll see actual costumes and even the wigs worn by prominent members of the cast.

The Iconic Sets You’ll Explore

From the grandeur of the Great Hall, you’ll enter the mysterious Forbidden Forest through a gate guarded by masked Death Eaters. This path leads you right into the chilling lair of Aragog. Other unforgettable sets await, including Platform 9¾. The majestic Hogwarts Express provides the perfect backdrop. This spot was used for Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone’s very first shot, and then, a decade later, for the very last shot in Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2. Perhaps the most exciting part of your tour is exploring Diagon Alley. This bustling street is home to the dusty Ollivanders Wand Shop, where you’ll find over 17,000 individually labelled wand boxes.

Discover the Magic of Animatronics

Prepare to encounter the terrifying Basilisk that resided within The Chamber of Secrets. This creature was brought to life with a clever mix of practical and visual effects. Its full-sized mouth measured an astonishing 30 feet long, with jaws extending three feet deep. It was even designed to slither along a track to get close to Harry! You’ll also see Buckbeak the Hippogriff, one of the books’ most cherished creatures (after Hedwig, of course). Buckbeak had three distinct versions – one standing, another rearing, and a third lying down – with each individual feather meticulously glued on!

The Brilliance of the Art Department

As you continue your tour, you’ll come across the incredible Hogwarts Castle model. An original team of 86 artists and crewmembers built the first version of this breathtaking miniature. It was later enhanced with digital effects to create those unforgettably realistic views of the school. With 2,500 fibre optic lights that flicker to give the illusion of students walking through corridors, and real gravel and plants, the sheer dedication is staggering. If you were to calculate all the working hours that went into making this single model, it would total an astonishing 74 years!

Even the smallest details were given immense attention. Potion textbooks, acceptance letters, sweet wrappers, and even copies of the Daily Prophet were all hand-designed and hand-made! Every single potion bottle was also meticulously hand-illustrated.

A World of Authentic Props

The sheer volume of original props on display at the Studios is truly impressive. It’s incredibly satisfying when you spot your personal favourite, whether it’s the Elder Wand or the elusive Golden Snitch. You’ll see over 950 potion jars, each with unique props inside them, in the Potions Classroom. Professor Dumbledore’s office houses 900 memory vials and labels. Did you know that over 130 plates were made to decorate the startlingly pink office of everyone’s least favourite teacher, Professor Umbridge? Filmmakers even had to photograph and film real kittens playing with crystal balls, witch’s hats, and balls of wool for her office décor. Sounds like a wonderfully fun day in the office for the prop department!

Unveiling Special Effects Secrets

It may come as a surprise to many fans to learn that some of their favourite special effects were actually real and not just CGI! The slithering door to the Chamber of Secrets is often mistaken for a visual effect, but it’s a fully operational door. The incredibly intricate Gringotts bank door is also a real, working prop.

As you can imagine, green screen technology played a huge part in creating the magical Wizarding World of Harry Potter. Quidditch, for example, would have been particularly tricky to film without it! Why not take the opportunity to hop onto a broom yourself and try your hand at the magical game against a green screen?

Before you leave, make sure you refuel with a tasty Butterbeer in the new and improved café and dining area at the Studio. It’s just like Harry, Ron, and Hermione would have done in the Leaky Cauldron!

Frequently Asked Questions

Where will the tour depart from? Usually tours will depart from Victoria, central London but can vary depending on itinerary. Please contact us for further information or check the important information tab on the tour page.

Where will I be dropped off following my tour? Due to legal and time restrictions, tour operators typically offer a choice of a few drop-off points within central London (unless otherwise stated during the tour). These are usually located in close proximity to underground stations.

What time will I return from my tour? For full-day coach excursions, returns to London generally occur between 6:30 PM and 8:00 PM, depending on the tour and traffic conditions. Unescorted train tours usually return later, between 8:00 PM and 10:00 PM.

Are tours suitable for wheelchair users? Coaches can typically accommodate only folding wheelchairs. Passengers using them will usually need to be able to board and alight the coach (including a few steps) with assistance from their own helper, as tour staff are often not permitted to assist for health and safety reasons. Due to the fast-paced nature of many tours and the amount of walking involved, tours are often not recommended for individuals with limited mobility. It’s best to contact the reservations team for specific queries.

What items are permitted on the coach regarding luggage? Generally, you are permitted to take one piece of luggage on a coach tour. It’s advised to keep personal and valuable items with you at all times, as any items left on the coach are at your own risk. Hot food and hot drinks are typically not permitted on the coach.

Can the Open Top Buses accommodate wheelchairs? Many open-top buses have an access ramp at the front. Legally, they can usually carry one wheelchair user per bus.

What else is typically included in the tour price? All entrances are usually included in the tour price unless otherwise stated.

What is generally not included in the tour price?

  • Travel insurance
  • Gratuities for your guide and driver (optional)
  • Any transfers to/from stations and pick-up points unless specifically mentioned on the tour page.

If lunch isn’t included, can we grab lunch from nearby restaurants? Most locations will have restaurants nearby, but opting for a sit-down meal may significantly restrict the amount of time you have at the attractions.

At what age do senior concessions begin? Senior concessions typically begin at 60 years of age.

Do coaches have washroom facilities on board? Washroom facilities on board coaches cannot always be guaranteed. However, regular stops are usually made en route, and lavatories are often available at most attractions.

How much time is spent at each attraction? There isn’t a set time for exploration at each attraction. Guides are trained to observe how their group progresses and adjust the tour accordingly. It’s important to remember that some tours cover multiple landmarks in a single day, so extensive time at each attraction may not be possible.

What happens if I arrive late for a departure? If you arrive late for a departure, you could lose your seat to a walk-up passenger. It’s highly encouraged to arrive at the pick-up point a minimum of 15 minutes before departure. Once on the tour, your guide or driver will provide specific departure times for each location, and you must be back at the coach at least five minutes before this time. If you are late and miss the given time, the coach will depart without you to avoid delaying other passengers. If unsure about a departure time while on tour, always ask the guide or driver.

For groups traveling together, can specific seats on the coach be reserved? Unfortunately, seats are usually on a first-come, first-served basis and cannot be pre-booked.

Can an itinerary be provided for a specific tour if the website doesn’t detail time spent at each attraction? An approximate amount of time spent at each attraction can often be provided. However, the overall tour duration and timing at each stop are often at the guide’s discretion and can vary.

Are tours available in languages other than English? Yes, many tours offer foreign language-speaking tour guides. Please check with us to see which days these operate.
