Today we have a huge update on the Warner Bros. Studio Tour London – The Making of Harry Potter, which has it’s Grand Opening 2 weeks from this Saturday. First up there are a ton of new photos that you can view in the gallery from the tour via The WB Studio Tour Facebook, The Daily Mail and HeyUGuys. HeyUGuys posted TWO HUNDRED and THIRTY EIGHT photos, so I have only posted a couple of those in our gallery, so you can see the rest at their site. The Studio Tour Official Facebook has also been updated with some new information on the tour and Grand Opening:
A free shuttle bus will be running every half an hour from Watford Junction to the Studio Tour this Saturday for our lucky Sky winners. The journey takes 15 minutes and the first bus will depart at 9:20am
If you have bought a Studio Tour ticket for the opening day, you will also be allowed to stay and watch arrivals on the red carpet for our Grand Opening event from a specially designated area.
We also have some information on what will be available to buy and see at the tour, thanks to the Daily Mail:
Children will see replica wands for £24.95 and T-shirts from the Hogwarts school houses priced between £20 and £35. An exact remake of headmaster Albus Dumbledore’s robes will set you back £495.95, while a box of Bertie Bott’s Every Flavour Beans costs £8.95. Even a small glass of non-alcoholic Butterbeer, the drink of choice for young wizards, is £2.95.
Beginning at the ‘cupboard under the stairs’ where Harry lived before he discovered he was a wizard, the tour allows fans into the studio where the franchise was filmed. They will be able to peer into sets including Hogwarts’ Great Hall, Diagon Alley, Dumbledore’s office, the Gryffindor common room and the purple Knight Bus – but will not actually be permitted to venture inside them.
Visitors will also be able to see the animatronics used in the series in the Creature Effects workshop, including Buckbeak the Hippogriff, Aragog the giant spider, Fawkes the phoenix and the fearsome Basilisk head. Inside, visitors can wander around, take pictures, and sit on the benches studying graffiti carved into the tables by young wizards. Fans can explore Hogwarts – and even the cupboard under the stairs where Harry grew up before he discovered he was a wizard.
There are costumes, animatronics, and props such as Harry’s Nimbus 2000 for Quidditch. Josh Berger, president of Warner Bros UK, said it was delighted to showcase the ‘creativity and craftsmanship in British film’.
Finally The Daily Mail has posted a video look at the tour which you can watch below (thanks to SnitchSeeker for capturing the video):
Magical-Menagerie will be on hand at the Grand Opening so be sure to tune in for all the latest!
