Warner Bros. Studio Tour London - The Making of Harry Potter (overnight)

Blooms Café, Bedford Way, WC1H 0DG, London, UK

The Royal National Hotel is located approximately 5 minutes’ walk from ‘Russell Square’ underground station and close to attractions such as the British Museum and Madame Tussauds.

Arrive by noon to drop your bags at the hotel and then board your coach to Warner Bros. Studio Tour on the day of your arrival. Boarding commences at 12:45pm and the coach departs at 1pm. You will meet your Evan Evans Representative at the departure point who will welcome you aboard.

Warner Bros. Studio Tour London opened in 2012 and is the only location in the world where guests can visit the original sets, props, and costumes that made the eight-movie franchise come to life. You will enjoy 4 hours at the Studio Tour, with plenty of time to experience all the highlights of the visit—including The Great Hall, Platform 9 3/4, the Hogwarts Express, the Forbidden Forest, Professor Sprouts Green House, Gringotts Wizarding Bank, and many more.

You are invited to experience a very ‘Harry Christmas’ at the Studio Tour during Hogwarts in the Snow, the most magical time of year, when iconic Harry Potter sets are dressed for the festive season in a blanket of filmmaking snow.

Let The Magic Begin

Enter the Great Hall, bedecked in the gold decorations from Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone. You’ll find a mouth-watering banquet of roast potatoes, peas, turkeys, and puddings aflame, set up as it was to celebrate the end-of-term feast at Hogwarts.

Christmas trees will tower over you in the Great Hall, topped by authentic flying witches and inviting fireplaces will be adorned with festive holly, mistletoe, and wreaths.

Fan-favourite sets transformed

From the Gryffindor Boys’ Dormitory to the Gryffindor and Slytherin common rooms, discover how these sets were dressed for Christmas scenes in the film series. You’ll have the chance to spot authentic decorations and Christmas cards made by the crew during filming!

Prepare to impress with your dance moves as you learn the dance steps meticulously studied by Neville Longbottom ahead of the Yule Ball in Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire, or how the invisibility cloak Harry Potter receives as a Christmas present was used to create the illusion of invisibility on-screen.

Step into the Forbidden Forest, where the woodlands will be covered in snow, or stroll down Diagon Alley with its snowy shop fronts and cobbled stones. 

Stop by the Christmas shop, which has returned this year, to provide you with a premium and exclusive selection of Christmas gifts, souvenirs, and stocking fillers.

Learn how a never-melting snow was created by the set decorators for the film series using three materials, each serving a different purpose onscreen.

Your visit will end with a walk around the Hogwarts Castle model, which is blanketed with snow. This meticulous transformation takes place at the Studio Tour each year, using the same process as the one used in the films. Don’t forget to find the minuscule snowman figures hidden somewhere new on the model.

Upon concluding your visit you will board your air-conditioned coach and return back to the departure point at The Royal National Hotel. You can then check in to your room and enjoy the rest of your stay at leisure.

A full English breakfast is included in the price for each night of your stay - depending if you have chosen to stay for 1, 2, 3 or 4 nights.
