If it hadn't been for the memory vials, especially Professor Horace Slughorn's memory of his talk with Tom Riddle, Professor Dumbledore wouldn't have sent Harry on a hunt for Horcruxes. The memory cabinet is central to the movies and you can see almost 900 memory vials labeled with characters' names displayed at Warner Bros. Harry Potter™ Studio London.
Say whatever you will, but you've got to hand it to Fred and George Weasley. The twins were at the receiving end of their antics but never stopped. Puking Pastilles was their most profound invention, a disgusting sweet but one that could help you avoid class. The Puking Pastilles dispenser is equally fun, created by Head Propmaker Pierre Bohanna.
Diagon AlleyPotions were boring, which explains why most students hated them in Harry Potter. However, they dictated large parts of the movies and almost killed Ron Weasley. Ensure you aren't caught in a love potion when you explore the 950+ potion jars on display in the Potions classrooms. Every jar is as interesting as the other, from baked animal bones to dried leaves, herbs, and shrunken heads.
Special effectsProfessor Umbridge was among the most hated characters in the Harry Potter movies. Her office wasn't as revolting and organized aesthetically and the color pink dominated the scene. Her collection of plates with moving kittens was interesting and can still be seen in her office at the Warner Bros. Harry Potter™ Studio London. Avoid touching unless you want to be tortured by her.
No, you do not need to purchase separate tickets. A standard Harry Potter Studio tour includes access to the sets created for all eight Harry Potter films, the props used in the actual films, the costumes, special effects, creature effects, special events, and the Art Department.
Not all Harry Potter Studio tours include a guided tour. Look for tours which include a live guide when booking your tickets if you want a guided tour.
The opening hours to see the Harry Potter props are the same as the Warner Bros. Studio opening times. The studio is open from 9:30am to 10pm. However, check their schedule calendar for precise timings before you visit since timings may vary.
Located about an hour’s drive from the London city center, the Warner Bros. Studio Tour offers several bus tours that offer hourly return transfers from central London and Birmingham directly to the studio tour.
