Venture Into The Harry Potter Forbidden Forest at Warner Bros. Studios | Discover The Stunning Set, Magical Creatures & More
The first time we hear of the Forbidden Forest is at the 'Arrival Feast' on Harry's first day at Hogwarts; Professor Dumbledore warns the First Years that the dark forest is "off-limits." But when has that ever stopped our hero 'who lived'? But, if it weren't for Harry's rebellion, we'd have never encountered the pivotal scenes that changed their lives (and ours) for good. Fortunately, the Forbidden Forest isn’t off-limits for Warner Bros Harry Potter™ Studio Tour guests. You can explore the secrets within the forest, discover majestic beasts, touch Rubeus Hagrid’s original costumes, and meet Aragog the Acromantula.
Why is the Forbidden Forest in Warner Bros Harry Potter™ Studios a must-visit?
The Forbidden Forest in the Warner Bros. Harry Potter™ Studio Tour is a walkthrough experience that brings the iconic forest from the Harry Potter films to life. It's not an actual forest, but rather a carefully constructed set filled with trees, creatures, and special effects.
Is it real?
- The Forbidden Forest in the Warner Bros. Studio Tour London – The Making of Harry Potter is a recreation section of the iconic forest from the Harry Potter series. It's not an actual forest, but rather a carefully designed and constructed set filled with trees, foliage, and other elements that bring the magical woodland to life.
What to see
As you walk through the forest, you'll encounter a variety of magical creatures, including:
- Acromantula (giant spiders): Aragog
- Hippogriffs (half-horse, half-eagle creatures): Buckbeak
- Thestrals (skeletal winged horses)
- Centaurs (half-man, half-horse beings)
These creatures are all animatronic figures, but they're very realistic and move in a way that will make you feel like you're really in the forest with them.

The incredible craftsmanship and detail that went into designing both creatures will blow you away!
