WALK IN THE SHOES OF A CHAMPION THIS SUMMER AT WARNER BROS. STUDIO TOUR LONDON – THE MAKING OF HARRY POTTER

During Harry’s fourth year at Hogwarts, he is mysteriously selected to participate in the Triwizard Tournament despite being under the qualifying age. During the contest, Harry is put through a series of fearsome challenges as he comes face-to-face with a fire-breathing dragon, retrieves his friends from the Black Lake and faces obstacles and creatures along the way.

Go behind the scenes of the Triwizard Tournament and discover how filmmakers created the competition with never-before-seen secrets to be revealed.

For summer 2025 ONLY, for the first time ever, Warner Bros. Studio Tour London will introduce its Backlot Stage, showcasing the Secrets of Special Effects. A new, dedicated indoor space where you will discover how filmmakers brought the action-packed scenes from the Triwizard Tournament to life.

Comprising a digital screen, a stage and tiered seating, the Backlot Stage promises to uncover secrets that not even the most knowledgeable Muggle will know. From creating the Hungarian Horntail dragon to understanding how Harry held his breath for so long underwater, all will be uncovered as part of the feature.

Relive the iconic moments from the fourth film where the three well-known schools of magic, Hogwarts, Beauxbaton and Durmstrang go head-to-head to be crowned the champion of the Triwizard Tournament. The Studio Tour will bring the schools to life with a demonstration reminiscent of the Beauxbaton and Durmstrang students’ arrival, equipped with the iconic blue dresses and fur accessories as seen in the film.

Also new for the Studio Tour, if you are brave enough to take your name from the free Activity Passport and put it into the Goblet of Fire, which will be waiting for you in the wand room.

Further additions include Mad-Eye Moody’s arrival into the Great Hall, wizarding journalist Rita Skeeter, best known for her poison pen articles, will be welcomed to the Studio Tour along with her self-writing quill. Elsewhere, the Forbidden Forest will recreate the all-important moment when Hagrid reveals the first task to Harry.

Triwizard Tournament – Making of Champions will ONLY run from 15th May – 8th September, and all new features are included in the ticket price.
