Just got back from a full day at the Warner Bros. Studio Tour London – The Making of Harry Potter (yep, that's the full name LOL) and damn… it was amazing. But also overwhelming if you don’t plan it right.
Some quick thoughts that might help if you're going soon:
Pros
The sets are insane. Hogwarts Great Hall, Diagon Alley and the full-size Hogwarts Express are worth the ticket alone.
You'll nerd out over the props and behind-the-scenes stuff - especially the animatronics and makeup areas.
Butterbeer is a thing. It's weirdly good. Try it at least once.
You can walk inside Privet Drive. Childhood unlocked.
Cons
The gift shop is... dangerous. Like €€€ dangerous.
It’s crowded. Even off-peak, expect lines.
Food is mid. Eat before or after.
Advice for first-timers
Book way in advance - no tickets on-site.
Take your time. The average visit is 3–4 hours, but I could've easily stayed 5.
Bring a power bank. You'll take hundreds of photos. In my case videos
Go early in the day if you want the best lighting in the outdoor section (like the Knight Bus and Privet Drive).
Hi!
I wanted to share our experience visiting Harry Potter Studios in London. My boyfriend and I are huge Harry Potter fans and we decided to celebrate my birthday there. It was the best decision ever!
We got our tickets on the Warner Bros website 6 months in advance. You don’t need to do it that early unless you really want a specific date like we wanted my birthday.
We got there by train to Watford Junction and then used the Studios’ shuttle bus to get to the HPS.
We genuinely had the best time – we spent over 5 hours at the studio, explored every little piece of the tour, and wished we had more money for the fan shop 😊
The sets are all incredible and if you ever get the chance to visit, please take it and go!
I’m leaving you with a guide that can be helpful if you’re going soon, and it has many, many amazing photos if you want to see what it looks like!
Thanks so much for reading 😊
