Venture Into The Forbidden Forest at Warner Bros. Studios | Discover The Stunning Set, Magical Creatures & More
Why is the Forbidden Forest at Warner Bros. Harry Potter™ Studio a must-visit?
- Interactive experience: The Forbidden Forest is a walkthrough experience that brings the iconic forest from the Harry Potter films to life. The forest is also full of special effects that help create an immersive experience, including mist and fog that make the forest feel mysterious, lighting effects that create a sense of danger and suspense, and the sounds of animals, rustling leaves, and other forest noises.
- Step into the movies: The Forbidden Forest is a recreation of the iconic forest from the Harry Potter series. It's not an actual forest, but rather a carefully designed and constructed set filled with trees, foliage, and other elements that bring the magical woodland to life.
- Meet magical creatures: As you walk through the forest, you'll encounter a variety of magical creatures, including Aragog the Acromantula (giant spiders), Buckbeak the Hippogriff (half-horse, half-eagle), Thestrals (skeletal winged horses), and Centaurs (half-man, half-horse). These creatures are all animatronic figures, but they're very realistic and move in a way that will make you feel like you're in the forest with them.
Experiencing the Forbidden Forest at Harry Potter™ Studio
The Forbidden Forest is one of the most exciting sets at Harry Potter™ Studio. It holds deep secrets and brings you closer to magical creatures you haven’t seen before. You can also be a magician for the day when you control the weather using the same techniques created by filmmakers.
Sets
Harry Potter™ Studios has several sets, with the Forbidden Forest being one of them. It is designed with the same spookiness as the one displayed in the Harry Potter movies. There are 19 trees measuring more than 12 feet each in the forest, entwined with each other. You can walk over them and wonder what you’ll find on the other side.
Creatures
The Forbidden Forest is home to majestic Harry Potter creatures. Remember Aragog, the Acromantula from The Chamber of Secrets? He lived in the Forbidden Forest along with the other members of his tribe. Buckbeak, the magnificent Hippogriff, also lived in the forest, and both can be seen on your visit. The incredible craftsmanship and detail that went into designing both creatures will blow you away!
The makers
Designing the Forbidden Forest wasn’t easy, but the Harry Potter film crew was determined to leave something lasting for the fans. You can watch and learn how the team built and designed the Forbidden Forest. The crew members included Oscar® and BAFTA-winning Production Designer Stuart Craig, Construction Manager Paul Hayes, BAFTA-winning Creature and Makeup Effects Designer Nick Dudman, and BAFTA-winning Special Effects Supervisor John Richardson.
