Take your students out of the classroom to the filmmaking home of the Harry Potter™ film series. Inspire them at Warner Bros. Studio Tour London – The Making of Harry Potter as they learn how their favourite subjects could lead them to a career in the creative industries.
Whether your students are masters of maths, stars of art and design, or focused on film studies, they’ll see incredible real-world applications of what they are learning at school.
Discover the magic
During your school trip, students will walk through the world-famous original and authentic sets of the Harry Potter film series, ride a broomstick and board the original Hogwarts Express at Platform 9 ¾™. They’ll learn behind-the-scenes filmmaking secrets and discover the incredible artistry involved in bringing Harry Potter to the big screen.
Throughout the Studio Tour, the knowledgeable staff are on hand to assist with any additional needs and sensory bags, including ear defenders, are available to collect from the Information Desk. There is also a Sensory Room located within the Studio Tour which can be used as a quiet space when needed.
Pre-bookable Audio Descriptive Tours are available, as are Tactile Tours, where visually impaired students can touch authentic props and fabrics from the Harry Potter film series. Just ask one of the staff during your Studio Tour about the Tactile Tours and they will be happy to support.
