Due to their popularity, Warner Bros. Studios Tour London – The Making of Harry Potter have announced that the animal actors will be returning to the studio tour next month, from February 14-24, 2014.

This February, by popular demand, animal actors from the Harry Potter film series will return to the Studio Tour. A selection of animals, trained by Head Animal Trainer Julie Tottman, will revisit the incredible sets they frequented when working on the films.

• Visitors to the Gryffindor common room set will find it occupied by a cat that played stealthy Mrs Norris, the toad that played Neville Longbottom’s pet Trevor and a number of rats – trained using the same process as those who played Ron Weasley’s pet Scabbers.
• The ginger cat that played Hermione Granger’s bandy-legged feline Crookshanks will be seen on Diagon Alley.
• A Neapolitan Mastiff, trained like those that played Hagrid’s loyal dog Fang, will be stationed outside the half-giant’s hut.
• Visitors will also be able to pose for a picture with a Snowy Owl who played Harry Potter’s letter-delivering owl Hedwig.

In addition to watching live training demonstrations, visitors will discover how animals learnt to ‘act’ by taking a look at the equipment and tricks that were used on set by some of the talented training teams that helped to create the performances of 250+ live animals throughout all eight films.
