The Making of Harry Potter from King's Cross

 

Begin where Harry started, at the Cupboard Under the Stairs, before watching an enchanting welcome video and heading into The Great Hall – one of the biggest sets at the studios. As you travel through, see an unbelievable selection of actual costumes, props and special effects pieces, all kept in pristine condition.

As you explore the studios, see The Burrow, Hagrid’s Hut, the Gryffindor Common Room, Dumbledore’s office and much more. From small details like Dumbledore’s Pensieve to the larger pieces like the fantastic animatronic door to the Chamber of Secrets. Have fun riding a broom through London at the Green Screen exhibit and board the Hogwarts Express on Platform 9¾. See Privet Drive, the Knight Bus, buy a Butterbeer™ on the backlot and get up close to the prosthetics and animatronics in the special effects department – there is so much to see!

Step Into the Forbidden Forest– New!

The Forbidden Forest may be strictly off-limits to Hogwarts students, but for the first time this March, visitors are invited to defy Professor Dumbledore’s orders and follow the footsteps of Harry, Ron and Hermione.

Home to an abundance of creatures, it offers shelter and protection to Hippogriffs and Acromantula among many others. See one of Rubeus Hagrid’s original costumes on display, lantern in hand, to welcome visitors through the Hogwarts Gates deep into the forest. Filled with 19 trees each with a diameter of over 12 feet, walk beneath the giant entwined roots and control the weather using the same techniques created by filmmakers.

Opening/ Start time
The pick-up time will be two hours before the selected studio entry time.
