You will tour the studios and step into the most recognizable sets of the Harry Potter universe, moving from the Great Hall to spaces that marked key moments of the saga. During the visit, you will pass through an entrance leading you into the Forbidden Forest and approach the setting of Aragog, before continuing to sets such as Platform 9¾ with the Hogwarts Express and Diagon Alley, where you will see Ollivanders wand shop with thousands of labeled boxes.
As you move forward, you will discover how creatures and characters were created using animatronics and practical effects. You will see the Basilisk associated with the Chamber of Secrets and learn details about its size and operation during filming, and you will also encounter Buckbeak the Hippogriff, with its different versions created for various scenes and a remarkable level of detail in its finish.
The visit will allow you to understand the work of the art department through pieces that defined the aesthetic of the saga. You will observe the Hogwarts Castle model, created by a large team and enhanced with lighting to recreate movement within the school, and you will find examples of handcrafted props such as potion books, acceptance letters, sweet wrappers, and copies of the Daily Prophet, along with bottles and jars individually illustrated.
To conclude, you will approach the props and special effects that brought scenes to life, from wands and relics to classrooms and offices filled with details. You will see the scale of the props, with potion bottles and items that make up the filming spaces, and discover that some effects that appear digital were actually real mechanisms, such as certain fully operational doors. At the end, you will be able to take a break at the café and try a butterbeer, completing the experience with a final nod to everyday life in the wizarding world.
