Why visit Warner Bros. Studio Tour — Harry Potter
The working film studio in Leavesden where all eight Harry Potter films were shot, now open as a behind-the-scenes walking tour.

- Filming at Leavesden ran for a decade — most of the young cast grew up on site.
- The Hogwarts Castle scale model is 50 feet across and took 86 artists 74 years of combined work.
- The tour was originally announced as a one-year exhibition; over ten years later it's still expanding.
