Warner Bros have setup a very good tour at the Leavesden Studios just beside Watford, only about 40mins outside of London.
Having seen some Universal Studios sets elsewhere, usually, the props are made quickly & cheaply for a single film. So seeing the sets is often a let down compared to the memories of the film.
Not the case here.
Aware they had more books coming, the clearly talented crew, put some real passion into their craft, creating props and sets that could be used over & over (unless being blown up of course)
So any fan of film and the process, not just a Harry Potter fan, will thoroughly enjoy this Studio tour.
Entry is designated to specific ticket time slots; and you have a bag check and large queuing system to navigate prior to entry. Parking was easy enough, seemingly ample for the volumes of visitors, but give yourself plenty of time prior to your ticket time. If you are fortunate enough to breeze through the process, the shop is accessible and can easily consume some time browsing prior to starting the mostly self-guided tour.
Oh, and pay the little extra for the Audio Tour, packed with commentary. It’s like living through a Directors comments on your Blu Ray.
