The Warner Bros. Studio Tour London provides an amazing opportunity to explore the magic of the Harry Potter™ films – one of the most successful film series of all time. This unique walking tour takes you behind the scenes and showcases an array of beautiful sets, costumes, and props. It also reveals some closely guarded secrets, including facts about the special effects and animatronics that made these films so hugely popular around the world.
The Sets, Props & Costumes
