Ticketing purchased with Headout platform was a breeze. Will definitely use Headout again. Reminders of your purchased ticket will be sent to you days in advance or 1 day before, which is good. HP tour at Warner Bros was a spectacular experience. You will enjoy full max if you are a Potterhead like me. No regrets.

I had a great time at the WB Studios. Sadly, I missed the transport due to a problem with a Bolt that never arrived, but was able to get to the location by myself and my ticket had been left at the Ticket Stand, so I got to enter a little later. I had the time of my life. Make sure to be always on time for transport and plan ahead as London is very unpredictable.

Well, I had a little uncertainty reading the reviews ... but I can say that everything went super well, clarify if it helps that do not expect anyone from headout in the waiting area, because pars the route go from other pages or places of sale, easier to go directly to the bus, and there will be a person q you ask the name to get on ... all perfect well!!!! 100% recommendable

I didn't have the clear information that the total experience with shuttle departure started at 9am. That's why I went there 1h30 before departure, as a precaution and having found conflicting information about it on the web. When I got back, the information about the meeting place was unclear. Otherwise, the tour itself was great!

Absolutely loved Harry Potter studios and collecting tickets and transfer there went smoothly however we didn't get into Studios until 1pm and bus was leaving to come back at 4.20. There's no way that's enough time to really enjoy the experience We weren't even half way around by 3.30pm so forfeited the bus transfer back and didn't leave the studios until 6.30pm but felt we'd seen everything at a leisurely pace and enjoyed a meal! There's free bus transfer s from studios to Watford Station, so easy enough to get back .

The only problem is that when you book, it's not written that they count 3 hours of travel out of the 7 hours, so you stay 4 hours at the studios... But personally, I had plenty of time to enjoy the visit and take lots of photos! And I even had time for a bite to eat and a drink before heading off to the boutique!

The purchase generates a great deal of doubt. You get nothing more than a reservation number. It gives the option to download an application to see the tickets, but you have to give your bank details. Until the last moment of finding the guide, I had doubts if everything was correct.

Loved the studio! 10/10. However, the bus trip could have been better with only small changes. I expected that the bus driver and guide would say ''Welcome'' and a few words about the trip, but nothing. Would have felt better if they said something before and after the studio.

Neat bus and staff. It did take a long wait on the bus when we got to WB studios and the host had to get the tickets, then we had to get back in line with that, but I guess that's because so many people visit this.

We decided to make our own way to the venue and return with the bus provided back to London. The tickets werent at the ticket office as mentioned in the guide and a person had to be called to bring them to us after a period of confusion. We were given 4 hours to tour the Warner Bros studios which despite us going through quite swiftly , we still had to rush through the end and run to the bus . The information about the company we are booked in with was unclear to the bus drivers as Headout orders the buses through a differnt company, which is not mentioned on the tickets . Omce we were on the bus it was okay , but i feel there is a lot of room for improvement to make the trip stress free. Warner Bros tour was amazing and definitely worth going.

The guided tour in Oxford was simply disappointing and not recommended. There was NO opportunity to visit any of the buildings from the inside, even the advertised Harry Potter movie stations were shown on the iPad. Really a total waste of time and not recommended for children! To have paid for this is lousy!

The tour is very complete, the guides are excellent, friendly and fun. Everything was very good, we went to Oxford, we had a guided tour and also time to explore on our own which is amazing. The entrance to Warner Studios was very fast and they don't waste your time. They are very organized and give you very clear instructions which helps you maximize your experience. Personally I would have liked to have more time to spend at Warner Studios. However, I did the full tour and at my own pace I saw everything and enjoyed it to the fullest.

I had done this tour a few years ago, and that experience was absolutely amazing, so I might have set the bar a bit too high this time. The tour was still enjoyable, but it felt like our guide was in a bit of a rush. He walked very quickly, which made it challenging for the whole group to keep up, especially with kids and the busy traffic. While he covered the basics, I would have loved to hear more details—my previous guide shared lots of fun facts that made the experience even more engaging. That said, the tour was still entertaining, and the quiz added a fun interactive element with points to win during the walk.

I liked how knowledgable the guide was, and how she made the group interact with the house questions. The walk didn't serm long with all the stops and stories, and even our 9yo enjoyed it and found the time passing quickly and the distance OK.

Our tour guide was stellar, bursting with knowledge, energy and enthusiasm, so highly contagious. The chance to visit the real life locations where some scenes were shot, learn of the difficulties encountered, the modifications that were made to these locations prenor post shooting and comparing them with the final result that reaches cinema goers , right there during the tour. Great value for money.

The guide could have been louder as we couldn't hear her above all the noise around us unless we were right next to her. Also, we got lost towards the end of the tour & she just left our boys 16 & 17 once the tour ended on their own !!Would have been safer if she could have called us without just leaving them on their own in the middle of London!!!

We did the tour as a family of 5. 0ur guide was Jack, the best guide in town 🤩 It was nice to see some London highlights while doing the tour. The quiz during the tour was interactive and especially our children liked it when they could win a point for their team. The Harry Potter links were there, one a bit more obvious than the other. Our guide explained us everything with a lot of passion! Thank you!

The Harry Potter Walking Tour was fabulous! Perla is an extremely knowledgeable guide, not only about Harry Potter but about London. Adding in the movie clips was great and really helped connect the sights with the films. I saw a different side of London from my other meanderings around the city. I highly recommend this interesting, engaging tour of Harry's London!

All correct, pick up transfers and tickets .... Only on arrival at the hub we were left alone picking up audio guide and leaving reefer, the group was lost and we went on our own throughout the visit, which did not matter to us because then the return was controlled.

Spanish speaking travelers, we have a little difficulty with the language but the translator helps a lot, in the studio of the warner at the entrance if you pay for the audio guide, ask for an official who speaks Spanish to explain how it works and so you do not waste time guessing how it works and fully enjoy the experience, which despite the difficulty with the language was for us a wonderful and unique experience. Everything else, the logistics and punctuality of the guide were excellent.

The tour at the studios was wonderful for the most part. Our guide, Beth, was just adorable and knowledgeable. The only issue was how fast she spoke, it made it a little difficult to follow everything she had to say. The sets and props were amazing. The transportation was also well organized other than when we left. The timing made an extremely long wait for the bus back to the train station. There were two buses in the parking lot that could have been used to facilitate the transfer a little quicker and after about a 45 minute delay they finally brought one around to shuttle people to the train station. Even with that, I'd do it again in a heartbeat!

This was an absolutely fantastic experience from start to finish. Our first guide, Severio, was very kind and consciousness and made sure everyone was delivered to our guide at Harry Potter/ Warner Bros studios. Our second guide, Paula C, was outstanding. She was a wonderful storyteller, very enthusiastic, and guided us through the exhibits making sure we got the behinds the scene experience. She really knew her information and you could tell she loved her job. She was delightful to spend time with. After the tour was over, you can spend additional time looking around if you want to. There are a lot of details in many of the exhibits to take in. We ended up leaving around 8pm after a magnificent day. This is a must for Harry Potter fans who are in London.

The trip went very well. The people were very punctual so we left before the scheduled time and started the visit a little earlier. Everything was very well coordinated. Even the guide of the previous group warned us that our guide was about to arrive and so it was. On the way back there were traffic problems and problems with the trains, but this is not something that depends on the company.

For Harry Potter fans, a tour in such a small group (max. 8 people for us) is a great experience and definitely even more valuable than the studio tour, which is already great in itself. Kim was a top guide!!! We got so many insiders behind the movies, stories about the filming, the actors etc. After the guided tour we were allowed back into the studios on our own. Unforgettable experience!

The tour was really great. We were met by the tour guide at Euston station and then took public transport to Warner Brother Studios as a group. On site, we were then split into 2 groups of 8 people each. Our tour guide David is a real Harry Potter fan and explained an insane amount of details and background information. After 1 1/2 to 2 hours there was a break of 1 hour. This was more than enough. After that the tour continued for about 1 1/2 hours. I can really recommend it. You simply learn so, so much. Afterwards, we were able to walk through the exhibition again on our own, which we did. In total, we were there for about 6 hours. It was great. Many thanks to the team and special thanks to David. It was great fun and encouraged us to read the books and watch the films again.

The exhibits, costumes and sets were incredibly detailed. Each stop revealed more secrets about the making of the film and allowed us to see how much work and creativity went into every detail.

Everything about this process was so easy, from purchasing to meeting our first 'get us to the studio' guide to the actual guide on the tour (who was fantastic). We learned so much on the tour, totally worth it - even though the exhibits themselves have lots of information we felt like we got extra behind-the-scenes insights. Really appreciated being able to stay longer and leave when we wanted. A fantastic day, thanks Headout!

The guide of the outward journey was with notris at 8 o'clock indicating that we were on time and as he did not arrive we went to the checkpoint paying us a cab 15e us. He did not know Spanish and we could not get in touch with him. The return was fine but all the way he did not speak because he did not know Spanish, then he had to come another transport that the truth very well.

Het enige minpuntje was dat de tijd in de Harry Potter Studio te kort was. 3,5uur waarbij je 's middags nog iets moet eten en nadien graag nog de winkel wil doen, is gewoon te weinig. Een uur meer zou veel comfortabeler zijn geweest. voor deze prijs wil je de volledige beleving hebben en nu moesten we ons haasten door het laatste stuk omdat we anders te laat waren voor one rit terug. Jammer.

How well it was done. The service, the artwork, you could tell everything with a lot of dedication and love. I felt like I was the first person who went to see the cursed legacy. All the scenery and equipment used on the spectacular stage. I especially loved being able to feel more part of everything when for example the Dementors rose above the audience or the prophecy of Delphini was written all over the theater. A great experience

I've never seen a production with such impressive special effects. And at times it felt like we were in a cinema rather than a theater. We were lucky, however, in that we were able to change seats (the ushers allowed it because of a mobility problem). The original seats in the mechanic's were awful and wouldn't have allowed us to enjoy the play.

It was all just so 'Magical' it was amazing, from the Pyros, to the slick choreography of poly juice potion to the awesome cloak work. We loved every minute- however at 5,8 and 6,3 the chairs are hard work- you should probably have some sort of watning on the tickets as to which seat are better for long legs

Ticketing purchased with Headout platform was a breeze. Will definitely use Headout again. Reminders of your purchased ticket will be sent to you days in advance or 1 day before, which is good. HP tour at Warner Bros was a spectacular experience. You will enjoy full max if you are a Potterhead like me. No regrets.

I had a great time at the WB Studios. Sadly, I missed the transport due to a problem with a Bolt that never arrived, but was able to get to the location by myself and my ticket had been left at the Ticket Stand, so I got to enter a little later. I had the time of my life. Make sure to be always on time for transport and plan ahead as London is very unpredictable.

Well, I had a little uncertainty reading the reviews ... but I can say that everything went super well, clarify if it helps that do not expect anyone from headout in the waiting area, because pars the route go from other pages or places of sale, easier to go directly to the bus, and there will be a person q you ask the name to get on ... all perfect well!!!! 100% recommendable

I didn't have the clear information that the total experience with shuttle departure started at 9am. That's why I went there 1h30 before departure, as a precaution and having found conflicting information about it on the web. When I got back, the information about the meeting place was unclear. Otherwise, the tour itself was great!

Absolutely loved Harry Potter studios and collecting tickets and transfer there went smoothly however we didn't get into Studios until 1pm and bus was leaving to come back at 4.20. There's no way that's enough time to really enjoy the experience We weren't even half way around by 3.30pm so forfeited the bus transfer back and didn't leave the studios until 6.30pm but felt we'd seen everything at a leisurely pace and enjoyed a meal! There's free bus transfer s from studios to Watford Station, so easy enough to get back .

The studios are amazing, every set, every detail. Too bad it didn't last a little longer, you have to do the tour too fast.

Dec 2024Verified booking
The only problem is that when you book, it's not written that they count 3 hours of travel out of the 7 hours, so you stay 4 hours at the studios... But personally, I had plenty of time to enjoy the visit and take lots of photos! And I even had time for a bite to eat and a drink before heading off to the boutique!

The purchase generates a great deal of doubt. You get nothing more than a reservation number. It gives the option to download an application to see the tickets, but you have to give your bank details. Until the last moment of finding the guide, I had doubts if everything was correct.

Got the bus from Victoria which was well worth paying extra for as it too the stress out of making our own way. The driver Gary was very helpful and gave us tips to make sure we made the most of the day. HP tour was so much more than we could have dreamt. It was amazing

Loved the studio! 10/10. However, the bus trip could have been better with only small changes. I expected that the bus driver and guide would say ''Welcome'' and a few words about the trip, but nothing. Would have felt better if they said something before and after the studio.

Neat bus and staff. It did take a long wait on the bus when we got to WB studios and the host had to get the tickets, then we had to get back in line with that, but I guess that's because so many people visit this.

The studios were amazing and the tour well organized. The only downside was the long bus transfer - it is not advertised, that you spend more or less 3 hours on the bus getting to and from the studios...

Because of London traffic we arrived 40 min late to the studios but the driver made it up to us by picking us up 40 min later...there is more than enough time to enjoy the studios and also to stop for a meal or drink

I love how smooth the experience is from the start up until the end of it. I just think it is much better if you can extend the time so that it can be more enjoyable and have more time to roam around.

We decided to make our own way to the venue and return with the bus provided back to London. The tickets werent at the ticket office as mentioned in the guide and a person had to be called to bring them to us after a period of confusion. We were given 4 hours to tour the Warner Bros studios which despite us going through quite swiftly , we still had to rush through the end and run to the bus . The information about the company we are booked in with was unclear to the bus drivers as Headout orders the buses through a differnt company, which is not mentioned on the tickets . Omce we were on the bus it was okay , but i feel there is a lot of room for improvement to make the trip stress free. Warner Bros tour was amazing and definitely worth going.

The Great Hall
The Great Hall at Hogwarts is a pivotal location for Harry and friends: their first sorting ceremonies, the Yule Ball, essential conversations over meals, O.W.L examinations, and of course, the battle of Hogwarts. Walk the same steps as your favorite witches and wizards and soak in the fine details of the location design and props in the Great Hall.
Explore the sets of Harry Potter Studios
The Forbidden Forest

Sneak into the Forbidden Forest
Diagon Alley™
Dotted with shops selling books, potion ingredients, robes, and of course, wands, Diagon Alley is a one-stop location for all the essentials a witch or wizard needs. The Diagon Alley set was redone to shoot scenes at Hogsmeade Village for the Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban film.
Roam inside Diagon Alley
Platform 9¾
For filming, most scenes were shot at King’s Cross Station in London, while the remaining parts were recreated at the Harry Potter Studios to shoot the famous scene between Harry and Dumbledore at the end of The Deathly Hallows Part II. You would see the actual Hogwarts Express and get to picture gliding dementors, or Trevor the Frog hopping about.
All about Platform 9¾
Proffesor Sprout’s greenhouse
In 2022, Professor Sprout's greenhouse glass doors opened to the muggles, where Professor Pomona Sprout taught Herbology. The greenhouse, built by the original Harry Potter filmmakers, houses exotic and magical plants. You may enter the greenhouse and pluck out a potted Mandrake as part of an interactive exhibit like a Hogwarts student.
Hogwarts Express
Warner Bros. Studios launched a 20,000 sq. ft. addition in March 2015, which included a replica of Platform 9¾ and the original Hogwarts Express steam engine. You may hop on board the train carriage and pose with a baggage trolley as it vanishes through the station wall in the new, permanent exhibit, which shows how some of the movie's most famous moments were made.

Beyond Warner Bros. Harry Potter™ Studio Tours
King's Cross Station
King's Cross Station isn't actually set up within the Warner Bros. Harry Potter Studio Tour London itself, but it is a popular departure point for many tours heading to the studios. This is because it's the station featured in the Harry Potter series as the gateway to Platform 9¾, where wizards board the Hogwarts Express.
Visit King's Cross Station
Leadenhall Market
Leadenhall Market, nestled in the heart of London, is where Muggle meets magic! With its stunning Victorian architecture and cobblestone streets, it’s not just a historic gem—it’s also the spot where Harry first glimpsed the wizarding world in The Philosopher’s Stone. Stroll through Bull’s Head Passage, where Harry and Hagrid stepped into the wizarding world!
Knockturn Alley
Knockturn Alley, the shadowy offshoot of Diagon Alley, is where dark magic lurks in every corner. Home to Borgin and Burkes, known for its cursed artifacts, the alley is a hotspot for dark wizards. Harry’s accidental visit in Chamber of Secrets and Draco’s secretive dealings in Half-Blood Prince highlight its sinister role in the series.
Millennium Bridge
The Millennium Bridge, or “Wobbly Bridge,” isn’t just a sleek crossing over the Thames—it’s where magic met mayhem in Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince. Death Eaters twisted and destroyed the bridge in the film’s unforgettable opening scene, symbolizing the dark forces threatening the wizarding and Muggle worlds. This iconic spot would enthrall anyone who is seeking a touch of dark magic in the city.
Borough Market
Borough Market, one of London’s oldest food markets, hides a slice of the wizarding world. In Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban, the entrance to the Leaky Cauldron was filmed at No. 7 Stoney Street, disguised as a flower shop. Next door, No. 8 served as the Third Hand Emporium in the Chamber of Secrets.
Harry Potter and the Cursed Child
Step into J.K. Rowling's magical world and witness Harry Potter's story continue on stage in Harry Potter and The Cursed Child. Be a part of this immersive theatre experience at the historic Palace Theatre where top talent from Broadway and West End conjures a spellbinding performance. Muggles are welcome too! Even if you're not a Potterhead, the enchanting spectacle of this 9-time Olivier Award winner, hailed as a 'game-changer', will dazzle you.
