WB have released a second preview of the Warner Bros Studio Tour London – The Making of Harry Potter that you may watch below. Also make sure to like them on Facebook to stay up to date as well as checking Magical-Menagerie!

Today WB issued a press release on the opening of the Warner Bros. Studio Tour London – The Making of Harry Potter, read it here. Two concept art images have also been released and may be seen in the gallery. Some details from the EMPIRE BIG SCREEN event held today can be read below:

• Warwick Davis, Nick Dudman, Evanna Lynch, Sam Burroughs, Ben Shephard are all here to present and introduce this new experience. It’s going to be HUGE!  Dumbledore’s office, the Great Hall, the corridors – and so much more. All the wands, the costumes – there will be 150,000 square feet of Pure Potter.
• […] we wanted to recreate the creature shop – so you can see everything in the tour. Aragog Buckbeak and many of the other creatures – even the smaller ones, are going to be seen during the tour.
• So, we’ve got a whole host of Potter. Creatures and costumes, full sets and everything which has been preserved from the films (which is a lot according to Nick Dudman) will be on show. Spring 2012 is the vague date…

Thanks to HeyUGuys!

Update: WB have released a video preview for the Tour:

We have just received an email informing us that the Official Facebook for Warner Bros. Studio Tour London – The Making of Harry Potter is now online! The Facebook has been updated with some photos, including a map of the studios location.

A couple days ago USA Today reported that there would be a Harry Potter themed hotel opened near Leavesden Studios for when the Harry Potter Studio Tour opens. This morning we have official word that this is NOT true.  They say that “Warner Bros. has no plans for a hotel as part of or related to the Warner Bros. Studios Leavesden development.”
