Would have loved to have been able to wander around Dumbledore's office but understand the practicalities of the problems this would involve.
Maybe in the future there will be more interactive sets? There is so much to see on the whole tour that one visit doesn't seem enough to take in all the details
This experience was my Christmas present from my children (24 & 20) and the elder one accompanied me on the day - just an excuse for her to visit again! Highly recommend for any fan of the films and books, whatever age.
Warner Bros. studios tour is brilliant. We went at 14:30 so it was a little bit quieter.
The presentation of the Harry Potter sets and props is something for everyone - big and little kids alike.
The engineering and modelling behind the scenes was my particular interest.
The only thing that spoils the experience is the extortionate prices in the gift shops dotted along the way.
The emotional entrapment of buying the 'green screen' broom flying photos and DVD once your little darlings have done it also add up hugely.
We spent over 5 hrs on the tour and did not feel pressured to move on through the sound studios or backlot experience at all.
Overall thoroughly enjoyed by all of us despite taking out a 2nd mortgage to get out of the place!!
Warner Bros Harry Potter Studios is absolutely fantastic. The best birthday present I've ever had. 6hrs on my feet but worth every ache & pain. The coupe de gras is the absolutely massive Hogwarts Studio Model. It is so realistic that it blew me away. The attention to detail everywhere is verging on the O.C.D.ish level. Do I recommend it ? Damn right I do!!!!!
Took my son yesterday for his birthday(which is actually today) but in his words it was the best day ever, he got to open one of the doors to the great hall which was his highlight of the day, he loved walking round trying to find the golden snitches from the passport he was given, he was in total amazement with everything especially being able to ride a broom stick, we both loved it that much we will be coming back in the summer
Took 3 girls for a b'day party, all thoroughly enjoyed it. A fab day out for any age. Wasn't expecting very much myself although I do love the books, and it surpassed itself. Fantastic, amazing and good fun. Staff were very helpful, polite and a wealth of Harry Potter knowledge �
The child in me never wanted to leave. Neither did the grown up. This swedish Huffelpuff is happy and greatful. Thank you!
Most amazing birthday I've ever had, got to open the great hall doors. I've been a potter geek since I bought the first book 3 weeks after first release n never looked back. Everything looks so much smaller in real life.
Loved every second of the tour! This place is incredible, the details in the sets is outstanding. Plus the staff were really friendly and knowledgeable,
Loved all of the experience
It's everything I thought it would be. We had an amazing day!
The staff were all lovely and interacted with the kids fantastically well. I love the children's Passports as it gave us some time to look at things in more detail whilst the kids were busy.
The prices in the shop weren't too bad, they're pretty much what you'd expect. The only downfall was the price of pictures- we came with 3 children who all wanted their broom stick photo, 1 chose to buy it themselves but the other 2 (being younger) didn't want to and at £14 each we couldn't justify buying them ourselves- which is a shame as they were dressed as Hermione and Harry and looked fab!
The kids came away saying what a fantastic day they'd had and we made memories we'll never forget- the 200+ photos will help with that.
Really hoping to visit again- next time I'm leaving the kids at home and reading every word printed! ☇�☇
I was caught out of bed after hours trying to sneak into the library for extra reading when it was quiet. Flitch was all too eager to send me to the headmaster! I had to report to Dumbledore the next day. He was very fair and assured me the pursuit of knowledge was noble, but should be exercised within normal school hours. 10points from Ravenclaw and a detention with Professor Flitwick on Monday evening.
Had an absalutely amazing time at harry potter studio tour yesterday.... my son loved it too. He pdund it amazimg at the potions class when the spoons were stirring in the cauldrens. He loved buying his Voldemort's wand. We would all go back in a minute. Well worth the 8 hour drive to get there ���
Had a great afternoon at Warner Bros. It is expensive but definitely worth it if you're a Harry Potter fan. The staff are so knowledgeable and full of little tit-bits about the films. I have to agree with other reviewers about how expensive the photos are. £14 is a rip-off imho! The shop is expensive too, but the goods looked good quality.
Great place
Great day there, our boys (aged 7&9) loved it. Loads to see, very well run, going into the Great Hall was my favorite part as it's the only set that you can wander around in. As others have said, be prepared for the prices in the gift shops but all items are of a good quality. A wand costs £29 but there are plenty to choose from and sturdy.
Absolutely fantastic! My two daughters ( one a huge potter fan, one a standard fan) ages 9&7, my mother (loved the books, never seen a single film) age 60+ and I ( big fan) age just shy of 40, had an amazing time. Came away feeling like we could do it all again tomorrow and there would still be plenty to see. Heartily recommend.
The key is your expectation. As a fan of the pure fantasy world of wizards and magical creatures it loses marks but if you are a behind the scenes of films geek 🤓 then it's 5 stars! Most impressive were the Great Hall and the replica castle just for the great attention to detail for film sets to be used over the 10 year period it was. The extras along the way will be too pricey for the majority but how many wands or brooms do you need?
Great place to visit for any Potter Fan. Sets looked great, brilliant interactive experiences, was slightly disappointed with privet drive as it was only the front room. The shop, cafe and pictures were stupidly expensive and I think due to the cost of the entry ticket they should charge a lot less than they do. Recommend the visit but take out a mortgage if you intend on spending.
Very expensive, food not brilliant. Purchased the vip experience as a present for my husband thinking it would be out of this world but was very wrong! Escorted tour but you were not allowed to stop and look at anything just told to go back later and look. Staff were very helpful and friendly just a shame the cost did not reflect the experience. Shop was packed, long queues at the tills and lot of stock not available as sold out on many items. Such a shame for what could be a wonderful experience
