Warner Bros. Studios - Making of Harry potter

Join OUTrips on a return trip to the Award Winning Warner Brothers Studios for The Making of Harry Potter tour.

The Harry Potter film series made Leavesden its home for more than ten years. As the books were still being released while the films were being made, the production crew saved many of the iconic sets, props and costumes that were created especially for the films – just in case they were ever needed later on in the series.

Once filming wrapped on Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows – Part 2 in 2010, the production crew were left with a treasure trove of thousands of intricate and beautifully-made artefacts, many of which wouldn’t have been saved on a typical production.

The team behind Warner Bros. Studio Tour London – The Making of Harry Potter wanted to preserve and showcase these iconic props, costumes and sets so that Harry Potter fans could experience the magic of filmmaking first-hand. Many of the original cast and crew returned to reassemble the sets and record their memories from filming, and on 31st March 2012, the Studio Tour opened its doors.

Get ready for Hallowe’en with a visit to Warner Bros. Studio Tour London during the Dark Arts feature (12/9 to 9/11/25) Step into the iconic sets from the Harry Potter film series in a spookier setting as we dim the lights and set the stage especially for Hallowe’en. Here’s a taster of what you can expect to see during your visit…

Experience Hallowe’en as if you were a Hogwarts student, by stepping into the Great Hall with over 100 pumpkins floating above a spooky feast, as seen in Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone. During filming, the Propmaking Team carved the pumpkins each to have their own unique design.

Look out for the Death Eaters’ procession through the Studio Tour in a menacing display, showcasing the authentic costumes and sinister choreography seen on-screen. You’ll also be able to learn duelling techniques in our Defence Against the Dark Arts classroom and put your spell-casting to the test against the Death Eaters!

Ominous Dementors will be floating in the Forbidden Forest which will move towards visitors passing through the area. In addition to this, the clown Boggart will also be on display next to the Defence Against the Dark Arts classroom. If you wish to avoid either of these elements on your tour, please speak to a team member who will be happy to show you an alternative route.

Set adjacent to the working film studios where all eight Harry Potter films were made, the Studio Tour offers visitors the unique opportunity to explore two soundstages and a backlot filled with original sets, animatronic creatures and breathtaking special effects.
