Ticketing purchased with Headout platform was a breeze. Will definitely use Headout again. Reminders of your purchased ticket will be sent to you days in advance or 1 day before, which is good. HP tour at Warner Bros was a spectacular experience. You will enjoy full max if you are a Potterhead like me. No regrets.
I had a great time at the WB Studios. Sadly, I missed the transport due to a problem with a Bolt that never arrived, but was able to get to the location by myself and my ticket had been left at the Ticket Stand, so I got to enter a little later. I had the time of my life. Make sure to be always on time for transport and plan ahead as London is very unpredictable.
The meeting point was not well specified, I went to the wrong place, and no one could tell me where to go It was fortunate that a gentleman told me that the meeting point was inside the station at GATE 0

I didn't have the clear information that the total experience with shuttle departure started at 9am. That's why I went there 1h30 before departure, as a precaution and having found conflicting information about it on the web. When I got back, the information about the meeting place was unclear. Otherwise, the tour itself was great!

The studio is spectacular, the trip is long but worth it, it would be nice some more time in the studio but we had time for everything, see everything do a couple of attractions and have a butterbeer.

Everything was perfect! Meeting point and departure time super accurate despite the rain! Well organized studio entrance and punctual return trip. I recommend it!!! 🤩

The studios are amazing, every set, every detail. Too bad it didn't last a little longer, you have to do the tour too fast.
View original review in Spanish
The only problem is that when you book, it's not written that they count 3 hours of travel out of the 7 hours, so you stay 4 hours at the studios... But personally, I had plenty of time to enjoy the visit and take lots of photos! And I even had time for a bite to eat and a drink before heading off to the boutique!

Loved the studio! 10/10. However, the bus trip could have been better with only small changes. I expected that the bus driver and guide would say ''Welcome'' and a few words about the trip, but nothing. Would have felt better if they said something before and after the studio.
The studios were amazing and the tour well organized. The only downside was the long bus transfer - it is not advertised, that you spend more or less 3 hours on the bus getting to and from the studios...
Because of London traffic we arrived 40 min late to the studios but the driver made it up to us by picking us up 40 min later...there is more than enough time to enjoy the studios and also to stop for a meal or drink

Bus transport was easy and comfortable. The studio-tour throug the original set of the Harry Potter movie-series was such an overwhelming experience. We loved it till the last secend of it. Would recomend anyone to do this tour. 10/10
The attraction is great I recommend, the only downside, when I bought the tickets nothing specified that you had to go to the agency to collect the tickets and that the bus was white without any inscription . otherwise super

A childhood dream came true for me that day! For so many years I watched everything on the internet and now I've experienced it for myself. I am so thrilled! Thank you so much for this unforgettable experience, it was breathtaking. And the bus driver who drove us to the studio was also a lovely person and drove us there and back safely. Thank you for everything, I will definitely do it again sometime!

Easy to find the bus stop, very friendly staff. The bus pick up was delayed by more than half an hour due to traffic, half an hour they should have made up for by picking us up 30 min later, as we had to run on the last part of the tour to get to the pick up area.

The whole tour is great. For the bus trip, last year when we left Victoria we had the big beautiful Harry Potter bus and here when we left the Royal Hotel a "Standard" bus, it's detail but I was with my daughter, a fan, and I would have liked to know the difference between the two departures because I wanted her to have the full experience.

Punctuality. Detailed and accurate departure location info. Ease of entry. Much appreciated delaying the return time by an hour due to traffic found on the way out. Very convenient and efficient service
View original review in Italian
The studio is spectacular. Regarding the reservation. It was clear and easy to find the meeting point. What is WRONG is the pick up time. All the explanation they give is WRONG. I took the time 10 AM according to the exception it said that I should be 1.30 before, but no, as I supposed 10 AM was the departure time. So this is a fundamental point to correct in order not to confuse. The rest is ok.

Buying the ticket was super smooth, and at the meeting point the staff member was super punctual in welcoming us to the transportation and also on the way back.

Loved seeing all the props and set from the Harry Potter franchise! The Dark Arts feature performances was immersive and staff was very friendly as well! Not too crowded so we were able to enjoy it at a leisurely pace. Direct transport to and from meant we didn't need to worry about bus/train delays so would defintely be doing this again in the future.
This is not to be missed. Such an impressive set up and the tour bus was perfectly timed, you have exactly the right amount of time to enjoy the full experience. Highly recommend.
The things we liked best were Diagon Alley, the demonstration with the slime, the performance of the Death Eaters, the butterbeer and the model of Hogwarts at the end of the exhibition. There wasn't really anything bad.

It was an amazing experience. A lot of things to see and the studios with the Christmas decorations it's 😍😍😍😍😱😱😱😱😱😱😱
La visita ad Oxford me la sarei aspettata potendo entrare e visitando l'università. La guida parlava solo inglese e la bambina ha potuto seguire solo con una mia traduzione. Gli studios soddisfacenti. Bell esperienza ma la guida nel nostro caso è servita a poco.
The trip to Oxford was definitely added value before we left for the studios was very nice to be able to stand somewhere where a scene from the first Harry Potter movie was filmed. We also had a super nice guide Amber who did her job full of enthusiasm and gave interesting facts during the trip which was definitely an added value.

I had done this tour a few years ago, and that experience was absolutely amazing, so I might have set the bar a bit too high this time. The tour was still enjoyable, but it felt like our guide was in a bit of a rush. He walked very quickly, which made it challenging for the whole group to keep up, especially with kids and the busy traffic. While he covered the basics, I would have loved to hear more details—my previous guide shared lots of fun facts that made the experience even more engaging. That said, the tour was still entertaining, and the quiz added a fun interactive element with points to win during the walk.
I liked how knowledgable the guide was, and how she made the group interact with the house questions. The walk didn't serm long with all the stops and stories, and even our 9yo enjoyed it and found the time passing quickly and the distance OK.
I really enjoyed seeing the various London sights. The guide, Sophie, was knowledgeable and engaging and clearly knew her stuff.
Our tour guide was stellar, bursting with knowledge, energy and enthusiasm, so highly contagious. The chance to visit the real life locations where some scenes were shot, learn of the difficulties encountered, the modifications that were made to these locations prenor post shooting and comparing them with the final result that reaches cinema goers , right there during the tour. Great value for money.
Seeing different parts of London. It was our first night in London and it gave us a good foundation to the rest of our visit.
very nice tour guide, told a lot, unfortunately the locations were relatively boring, but we saw parts of the city and locations that we would never have seen on our own
Great tour guide, very friendly and knowledgeable, easy to talk to. Lots of areas I wouldn't have thought to go to without the tour. Great way to explore London!
This was Ana amazing tour even though it was bitterly cold Our guide, Milo, was extremely knowledgable and most entertaining- definitely recommend to Harry Potter fans 👍🏻
We did the tour as a family of 5. 0ur guide was Jack, the best guide in town 🤩 It was nice to see some London highlights while doing the tour. The quiz during the tour was interactive and especially our children liked it when they could win a point for their team. The Harry Potter links were there, one a bit more obvious than the other. Our guide explained us everything with a lot of passion! Thank you!
The Harry Potter Walking Tour was fabulous! Perla is an extremely knowledgeable guide, not only about Harry Potter but about London. Adding in the movie clips was great and really helped connect the sights with the films. I saw a different side of London from my other meanderings around the city. I highly recommend this interesting, engaging tour of Harry's London!
Hi, it was great, with Ivan everything was very entertaining, we liked it very much. The only thing I would like to say is that I don't know if more places could be added. Anyway, now I know things I didn't know before! Thanks Ivan!

It was a great tour around London. We saw many things, mostly connected with Harry Potter, but also other fun facts about places and famous people. Our tour guide Luke was such a good sport, with wit and charm he ran a quiz and showed little video clips of the film locations. I made the entire trip on a sprained ancle, but I didn't want to stop, because it was too fun and interesting. My potterhead kids of 9 and 14 loved it as well.
Marvin war einfach toll: etwas Humor mit viel Wissen vermischt = unvergessliche Tour. Sehr empfehlenswert, mit Marvin. Meine Tochter ist 11 und konnte super mitmachen/mitlaufen.
The stories and the connections about the places in London related to the film. Mostly, the tour guide Louis was amazing, super friendly, professional and very enthusiastic about telling us every story.
It was so fun it did not feel like 2.5 hours. It was not just great for the Harry Potter knowledge but the history and seeing the sights of London. Thank you to Luke for being a great tour guide. From a Harry Potter Nut!
We loved it all! Marvin is a fantastic guide who made the excursion fun and memorable for all the family. We would highly recommend it! The boat trip was amazing too.
Our guide, Luke, was excellent from start to finish. Mustering, as warned, well before time, he was gracious to the stragglers and ensured that everyone was actively in the stations of the tour. It was an exceedling full day in London (the easter weekend) and he did a sterling job of shepherding the very large group through the various stations whilst making sure that the tempo was not too testing. The structure, content and route of the tour is captivating for readers and viewers with a good eye for details, as they will flourish in the quiz challenge that runs for the duration of the walk after the sorting. Plus, he managed to conjure up some magical weather!!! I can wholeheartedly recommend this to all visiting HP fans.
We were a group of three and it was by far one of the best experiences we have had while we were on our London vacation. Our guide was Ben, who was beyond lovely and did an INCREDIBLE job at showing us around the city and of course, the Harry Potter film locations. Truly the best guide, also according to my friends and open for all sorts of questions and a nice guy to have a conversation with, which made everything more comfortable! :) We were shown around all sorts of places like the original station for 9¾, Diagon Alley, Knockturn Alley, Gringots and so on while also having a good look on the sights around. Definitely a fun experience if you want to give a Harry Potter obsessed Fan who has never been to London before a surprise (Like myself!) Even though the Tour was 3 hours (or almost 3 hours) long, it didnt feel like it and has gone by too fast for me. I would definitely book the tour again (if its Ben of course 😁) when i come back to London.
The tour was good. We found more than double people than said on advertisement when booking activity. I was a bit shocked, really. At king's cross there is a lot of noise and when the guide started talking and we were put in a tiny corner trying to listen at the first stop and we couldnt, in that moment I felt like going away from the activity. The guide didnt bring a necessary speaker. The rest of the tour was better, London was not as crowded as usual and we could walk easily and listen as well. The problem came again when arriving to the very centre, Westminster area. That area is always packed and the guide was tight with time, so at that moment we had an issue with the guide. The guide stopped at the top of stairs of the entrance of the tube to go to London Bridge. He told we had some minutes free. I asked if 10 minutes, he said that was a lot. I understood. We just turn the corner. We took the typical photo, less than five minutes. We returned to the point. Nobody there. We were waiting and looking around, and it was the fiirst time that we were left behind and activity. Anyway, it was a quite tiring for a tourist from another country to struggle to hear in those crowded areas. We met people from the group later , the French group, exactly, and they said they continue without us because the guided said that we told we wanted to finish there, but in any moment, me, the speaker from my companions said that to him. A bit surprised. So, it was a different experience. We enjoyed it anyway, that's true. There were very good parts. The guide talked very well and tried to do it entertaining. But we had that feeling that what you have experienced is not totally fulfilling. One of those things.
The whole tour was great, our 9 year old Daughter potter head loved it!! The tour guide Luke was brilliant at his job, friendly and very entertaining and enthusiastic. The tour was a great way to see areas of London and learn little bits about London that we might not have ever experienced .
Nice tour, our guide Anais gave us a lot of informations.

Spanish speaking travelers, we have a little difficulty with the language but the translator helps a lot, in the studio of the warner at the entrance if you pay for the audio guide, ask for an official who speaks Spanish to explain how it works and so you do not waste time guessing how it works and fully enjoy the experience, which despite the difficulty with the language was for us a wonderful and unique experience. Everything else, the logistics and punctuality of the guide were excellent.

The guide of the outward journey was with notris at 8 o'clock indicating that we were on time and as he did not arrive we went to the checkpoint paying us a cab 15e us. He did not know Spanish and we could not get in touch with him. The return was fine but all the way he did not speak because he did not know Spanish, then he had to come another transport that the truth very well.

Oliver, a wonderful guide with a lot of enthusiasm. He was very informative and very entertaining! Highly recommended!

The guide knew what she was doing, which maid for a great experience through London. The tempo was quite all right, in my book, so keeping up wasn't too hard. All in all I feel as though I learned quite a lot
It was an amazing tour, perfectly guided by Will, who showed us the spots in London which inspired the producers of the Harry Potter movies. I can only say book Will and have an amazing time with a lot of information and a tourguide who is really really fantastic
Nick our tour guide knew everything there is to know about Harry Potter and the film locations, took us trough all the important streets. no question left unanswered brandon was the chauffeur, he was awesome
Our guide was fantastic! I loved her knowledge of London and I loved seeing where parts of the Harry Potter films were made. I also loved the studio tour. The only thing I wished I had was more time in the studio. Even though we had just a bit over three hours, it was super crowded and as a result I didn't have time to buy any souvenirs because I didn't want to miss catching my return coach. Another hour would have made a huge difference for me. That said, I highly recommended this tour for any Harry Potter fans and if you really want a souvenir, visit the shop first.

Harry Potter studio was fantastic but I could spend more time there...
The guide! Sophie was awesome and we loved her energy and her storytelling style!
The studios were very impressive. 4 hours was even too short.

Great performances and amazing visual effects. Movement and choreography was also impressive. It was a little difficult to hear dialogue from where we were (upper stalls) and some of the view was obscured on one side. Seats were very cramped for such a long performance. Bar staff were lovely.
The story , cast and music all extraordinary. It absolutely raised the bar so high for future plays. I like the theater facility, yet wish to have more variety on drinks menu especially for kids.
It was a great show. For foreigners, you have to know that you must have a certain level of the language, otherwise it can be very complecated to understand. The special effects were impressive and the story was as original as unexpected.
How well it was done. The service, the artwork, you could tell everything with a lot of dedication and love. I felt like I was the first person who went to see the cursed legacy. All the scenery and equipment used on the spectacular stage. I especially loved being able to feel more part of everything when for example the Dementors rose above the audience or the prophecy of Delphini was written all over the theater. A great experience

A huge thank you to everyone who made this play possible. The cast was unbelievable, the sets, the staging, you name it. Everything was just crazy! I really had an unforgettable time, it was wonderful. And the goodies in the store 😍🙏🏻

For true Harry Potter fans, the play is a highlight. I have seen this play in Hamburg and London, I have to admit that Hamburg manages to make this event big. London can take a leaf out of its book. Nevertheless, it was good.

The special effects were very, very good! Unfortunately, the seats were very, very narrow, so if you are taller than 1.80m it will be difficult in the balcony. I think the view is also much better in the two categories below.

Fantastic show, the play was wonderfully acted and the use of illuisons were incredible. Definitely an experience worth the price. The story arc, the character development, the cliff hanger were all wonderfully crafted.
The set of the show was amazing, and the special effects were incredible! They included the audience in a lot of them, the dementors and the writing on the wall were my favorite parts.
It has been a very positive afternoon! I appreciated the plot as it introduced new issues related to the age of the characters (and of affectionate readers too). I was surprised how magic tricks were realized. I also liked the detail of the changes of scenes. The theatre is also very well organized.
Acting and casting was done very well. Special effects simply jaw dropping Palace theater is iconic. The building is beautiful. Storyline is unpredictable and made me want to know what was going to happen next.
Special effects really made it memorable! Seen the shortened version in Toronto which was great but this really allowed you to see the whole picture!
The show was amazing! Really really good! The only downside From my part is The legspace at The balcony. Its uncomftable. And i had limited view to The stage.
the special effects were very good, the piece is very well put together. There was one thing that was disappointing and that is that you have very little leg room.
It was j7st so much better then what i was expecting. Deffo a BRILLIANT folliw on from the filns, but also fantastic in its own right. Well worth the price and i would recommend it to anyone
The show was great, cast was amazing. The theater was a bit stuffy and air didn't flow so well, both my wife and I started to feel a bit unwell as a result with such a long show. But it was well worth it.
The play was very good, the seats were terrible. I'm not tall but I couldn't get my legs out. Then such a 3-hour performance takes a very long time.

The performances were exceptional across the entire cast, the visuals were stunning, exhilarating and so very clever - even down to the scene shifting crew - and the lighting and sound were terrific. In short, everything was fantastic and made for a truly magical experience!
All, especially the visual and sound effects, and except the seats: they were low price with limited vision, so we did not see the top front and it was difficult to see the face of the actors. However, we could hear them well, they were very convincing and the scenography / choreography were superb.
All the special effects that were making the whole show look literally magical, leading me to get into the show very much.
The visuals was great and an amazing theatre to visit. There was too much disturbance during with guests using phones and ignoring restrictions.
100£ for the back row with an obstructed view ruined the experience. The obstuction warning did not specify just how much would be missed. Especially frustrating learning that everyone else in my area only paid 30£ for their seats. That is a much more reasonable price for an obstructed view.
Everything was just Amaaaaazingggg truely. The theatre ambience was awsummm too. Everything including the magic seemed so effortless and the actors have done a very good job.
The show is very beautiful and engaging, the actors are outstanding, and the whole technical and stage compartment is magical. Although we were on the balcony, the stage could be seen well and we had no problem enjoying the show to the fullest

This was an absolutely WOW experience!!! Excellent performances by all, and the story line along with the stage production was exhilarating! I'd go watch this show again when I'm back in London! For all the Potter fans, this must be on their list to see!

Sneak into the Forbidden ForestDotted with shops selling books, potion ingredients, robes, and of course, wands, Diagon Alley is a one-stop location for all the essentials a witch or wizard needs. The Diagon Alley set was redone to shoot scenes at Hogsmeade Village for the Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban film.
Roam inside Diagon AlleyFor filming, most scenes were shot at King’s Cross Station in London, while the remaining parts were recreated at the Harry Potter Studios to shoot the famous scene between Harry and Dumbledore at the end of The Deathly Hallows Part II. You would see the actual Hogwarts Express and get to picture gliding dementors, or Trevor the Frog hopping about.
All about Platform 9¾In 2022, Professor Sprout's greenhouse glass doors opened to the muggles, where Professor Pomona Sprout taught Herbology.

You may enter the greenhouse and pluck out a potted Mandrake as part of an interactive exhibit like a Hogwarts student.
Warner Bros. Studios launched a 20,000 sq. ft. addition in March 2015, which included a replica of Platform 9¾ and the original Hogwarts Express steam engine. You may hop on board the train carriage and pose with a baggage trolley as it vanishes through the station wall in the new, permanent exhibit, which shows how some of the movie's most famous moments were made.

King's Cross Station isn't actually set up within the Warner Bros. Harry Potter Studio Tour London itself, but it is a popular departure point for many tours heading to the studios. This is because it's the station featured in the Harry Potter series as the gateway to Platform 9¾, where wizards board the Hogwarts Express.
Visit King's Cross StationLeadenhall Market, nestled in the heart of London, is where Muggle meets magic! With its stunning Victorian architecture and cobblestone streets, it’s not just a historic gem—it’s also the spot where Harry first glimpsed the wizarding world in The Philosopher’s Stone. Stroll through Bull’s Head Passage, where Harry and Hagrid stepped into the wizarding world!
Knockturn Alley, the shadowy offshoot of Diagon Alley, is where dark magic lurks in every corner. Home to Borgin and Burkes, known for its cursed artifacts, the alley is a hotspot for dark wizards. Harry’s accidental visit in Chamber of Secrets and Draco’s secretive dealings in Half-Blood Prince highlight its sinister role in the series.
The Millennium Bridge, or “Wobbly Bridge,” isn’t just a sleek crossing over the Thames—it’s where magic met mayhem in Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince. Death Eaters twisted and destroyed the bridge in the film’s unforgettable opening scene, symbolizing the dark forces threatening the wizarding and Muggle worlds. This iconic spot would enthrall anyone who is seeking a touch of dark magic in the city.
Borough Market, one of London’s oldest food markets, hides a slice of the wizarding world. In Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban, the entrance to the Leaky Cauldron was filmed at No. 7 Stoney Street, disguised as a flower shop. Next door, No. 8 served as the Third Hand Emporium in the Chamber of Secrets.
Step into J.K. Rowling's magical world and witness Harry Potter's story continue on stage in Harry Potter and The Cursed Child. Be a part of this immersive theatre experience at the historic Palace Theatre where top talent from Broadway and West End conjures a spellbinding performance. Muggles are welcome too!

No, it's not the actual platform from the books or films. However, it's a meticulous recreation of the iconic set used in Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows – Part 2, complete with a track and the Hogwarts Express train. There isn't a real Platform 9¾ anywhere, but the one in books and movies is a set at King's Cross Station in London. Platforms 9 and 10 are adjacent, with no hidden magical gateway between them. However, King's Cross Station features a fun photo op area dedicated to Platform 9¾, complete with a trolley disappearing through a brick wall illusion.
