Warner Bros. Studio Tour London – The Making of Harry Potter & Oxford Tour

We depart London in the morning and head to Oxford to begin our magical day out! Our visit to Oxford begins with an hour’s walking tour of this world famous University city with a professional guide. Founded in 1167, Oxford is England’s oldest university. On the walking tour, we’ll walk past some of the most famous university buildings, cloisters and quadrangles, explore the back streets and wander across cobblestone squares, all the while standing in the shadows of the famous ‘dreaming spires’. Our guided walking tour will take you into the heart of this land of hallowed academia, where you’ll have a chance to see the Bodleian Library, the Radcliffe Camera, Sheldonian Theatre and selected colleges. Some of the university colleges our tour will take us past include Christ Church, Merton, Oriel, Corpus Christi, Magdalen, University, Queens, All Souls, Hertford, Trinity, Balliol and St John’s. The University has 38 independent, autonomous colleges and we will also pass alongside many others on your tour. We end our visit to Oxford with some free time, a chance for you to explore at your own leisure before we continue onto the next stop of our tour, Warner Bros. Studio Tour – The Making of Harry Potter. We recommend wearing sensible footwear for the guided walking tour due to uneven walking surfaces in Oxford in order to prevent slips, trips and falls. 

After a short drive of around one hour, we’ll arrive at Warner Bros. Studio Tour London, a truly unique attraction. The visit to the Studio Tour gives you your chance to experience the filmmaking magic that went into creating one of the most successful film series of all time, where you’ll see authentic sets, props and costumes, all used to make the Harry Potter film series come to life! Marvel at the detail throughout the Studio Tour as you stroll through the Hogwarts^TM Great Hall, and some of the most iconic sets from the movies, including Professor Dumbledore^TM‘s Office, Number Four Privet Drive, the Gryffindor^TM common room, Ron Weasley^TM‘s family kitchen, Diagon Alley^TM, the Atrium from the Ministry of Magic and the Hogwarts Express^TM, plus so much more! We’ll spend at least 4 hours in the Studio Tour, during which you’ll have the opportunity to discover behind-the-scenes secrets which created the special effects we enjoy in the film series, marvel at the intricate details that went into every single part of the Harry Potter, as well as learning the craftsmanship behind the prosthetics and make-up that transformed actors into the creatures we see on screen. All will be revealed at the Studio Tour which is located next to the working studio where all eight Harry Potter films were produced!
