Has anyone been to the Harry Potter Tour in London and would recommend it?
I finally visited the Harry Potter studios in London
I am thinking about taking my boyfriend there for a nice trip and I wanted to know if it’s worth the price! Thank y‘all!
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).
