Venture Into The Harry Potter Forbidden Forest at Warner Bros. Studios | Discover The Stunning Set, Magical Creatures & More
Breaking rules was in Harry Potter’s DNA, but he was more rebellious about the Forbidden Forest than anything. Professor Dumbledore had ordered students to stay away from the dense, dark forest, but Harry didn’t care. He landed him (and Ron) in trouble countless times, but he kept visiting the place until the end. Fortunately, the Forbidden Forest isn’t off-limits for Harry Potter™ Studio Tour guests. You can explore the secrets within the forest, discover majestic beasts, touch Rubeus Hagrid’s original costumes, and see Aragog, the Acromantula.
