Each location is designed to bring iconic moments from the movies to life -- a thrill for every true fan.
The Great Hall
The Great Hall at Hogwarts is a pivotal location for Harry and friends; their first sorting ceremonies, the Yule Ball, essential conversations over meals, O.W.L examinations and of course, the battle of Hogwarts took place here. Walk the same steps as your favorite witches and wizards and soak in the fine details of the location design and props in the Great Hall. You’ll get to marvel at the shiny crockery, the massive door at the entrance, the stone statues and four house flambeaux, and actual costumes of popular characters like Professor McGonagall and Hagrid.
The Forbidden Forest
The entire contents of the formidable Forbidden Forest remain unknown to Hagrid to date. It is said to be full of creatures like unicorns and centaurs, while also being home to dark monsters. Enter at your own risk! The Harry Potter Studios have created a remarkable version of the Forbidden Forest; walk around and examine the imposing trees that have been designed to represent an eerie atmosphere, meet Buckbeak and Aragog, and take photographs with a life-size Hagrid costume who would be waiting to welcome you in.
Diagon Alley™

For filming, most scenes were shot at King’s Cross Station in London, while 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 get to see the actual Hogwarts Express and picture gliding dementors, or Trevor the Frog hopping about.
