7 Tips for Visiting the Harry Potter: Warner Bros Studios

Forbidden Forest | Photo: Flickr, Ungry Young Man - CC-BY 2.0

Buy your tickets well in advance! You can’t buy tickets on the day at the attraction, and tickets often sell out several months in advance, especially if you want to visit during seasonal events, such as Hogwarts in the Snow (around Christmas) or Dark Arts (at Halloween). These seasonal tickets sometimes sell out a whole year in advance, so book early to avoid disappointment.

For more information and behind the scenes footage, pick up a touchscreen Digital Guide! They’re narrated in English, German, French, Italian, Spanish, Japanese, Mandarin, Brazilian Portuguese, and Russian, plus some of the videos can be subtitled.

Bring your house scarf for great photos, or pick one up in the store in the lobby when you arrive!

Make sure to ask the friendly staff members lots of questions when you get to the sections about costumes, make up, and special effects, they’re very well-informed and will be happy to give you more information about what you’re seeing.

The only part of the tour where you’ll be hurried along is the Great Hall because it’s the first set on the tour. The next group will be waiting to get in, so make sure that you make the most of your time in here since you can’t come back later!

The last store is the largest, so save your shopping for the end - plus you won’t have to carry your purchases around with you. If you see something you like and you can’t find it in the last store then don’t worry, you can order it from the Studio Tour’s online shop later.

The journey from Central London takes about an hour if all the public transport is up and running as it should, but make sure you plan your route ahead of time so that you aren’t late for your slot!

Frequently Asked Questions

What kind of attraction is it? Are there rides?

The Making of Harry Potter is not a theme park, so you won’t see any rides. Instead, it’s a collection of original sets, costumes, props, and interactive exhibits which tell the story of the making of the 8 Harry Potter movies, and how the world of Harry Potter was pulled out of J.K. Rowling’s books and into reality. Visitors will get to see animatronic figures of magical creatures, walk the cobblestones of Diagon Alley, and have a go at riding a broomstick!

Which sets will I see on my tour?

There are lots of sets, some extensive, some smaller. You’ll start in the Great Hall, then you’ll get to see the Forbidden Forest, Diagon Alley, and the Hogwarts Express on Platform 9 and 3/4. Outside on the Backlot, you’ll be able to visit the Knight Bus and Privet Drive. From April 2019 you can also visit Gringotts Bank in Diagon Alley.

Are any of the sections scary?

Arachnophobes might want to skip the part of the Forbidden Forest where you’ll meet Aragog, an acromantula (or giant spider, for those not versed in Potter-speak). Just ask a member of staff and they’ll show you an alternative route.

How long does a tour take?

The average visit takes 3 and a half hours, but there’s no time limit so you can explore for as long as you like. Just make sure that you don’t miss the last bus back to the train station!

Is there a restaurant at the Studio Tour?

In the lobby (where you’ll be at the start and end of the tour) there’s a café and a Starbucks, and there’s also a Backlot Café about halfway through the tour. You can bring your own food along with you and enjoy it either in the Backlot area or the outside picnic area before or after the tour. Just be aware that you can’t go back to pick up food from the cloakroom or your car once you’ve started your tour.

Can I take photographs?

You can absolutely take photographs or film while you’re visiting Warner Bros. Studio Tour London! Just make sure that you’re using a handheld device as tripods and other specialist filming equipment (like drones) aren’t allowed to be used onsite.
