Magical Mischief

Magical Mischief is back at the Studio Tour for its third year, celebrating the behind-the-scenes magic that brought Harry Potter's pranks to life on screen.

They'll witness the chaos caused by the Weasley twins with their Weasleys’ Wildfire Whiz-bangs, suspended from the ceiling, and explore filmmaking secrets like the Invisibility Cloak and flying acceptance letters. Costumes of the Marauders and a cage of Cornish Pixies add to the fun, with visitors invited to find their hiding spots using activity passports.

Gringotts Wizarding Bank

Goblins were central to the Harry Potter movies. They famously ran Gringotts Wizarding Bank, which has now become an attraction at the Harry Potter™ Studio Tours. The Gringotts Wizarding Bank was the biggest expansion in the Studio Tours, and the work of original crew members like Oscar® and BAFTA-winning Production Designer Stuart Craig, Construction Manager Paul Hayes and Head Propmaker Pierre Bohanna. You can explore the secrets inside the Lestrange value and walk through the luxurious banking hall of Gringotts. The latter is spectacular, decorated with three crystal chandeliers finished with real brass leaves.

Professor Sprout's Greenhouse

Professor Pomona Sprout’s Greenhouse is an exciting experience as it takes you back to Mandrakes and gives you a lesson in exotic and magical plants. Did you know that the Mandrakes' movement in the Chamber of Secrets wasn't CGI but was achieved using animatronic controllers hidden beneath the table? Now you do. Pulling out Mandrakes is a fun activity you can participate in, although try not to get bitten like Draco Malfoy.

Hogwarts Express

Hogwarts Express is the most popular train in the world. Thanks to the Harry Potter™ Studios, you can join the small list of people who have enjoyed a ride inside Hogwarts Express. The train wasn't originally part of the Studios. It was added in March 2015 along with the recreation of Platform 9¾. You can climb aboard the train's carriage and pose as Harry and Ron with a luggage trolley.
