What is “The Making of Harry Potter” Tour?

This is a behind‑the‑scenes journey into the Wizarding World. From the iconic Great Hall of Hogwarts to Diagon Alley, from the Forbidden Forest to Ministry of Magic, the tour lets you explore sets, costumes, props, and visual effects that brought the Harry Potter films to life.

Every corner is designed to transport you into the film’s universe — guided by detailed exhibits, behind‑the‑scenes footage, interactive zones, and atmospheric design elements. The Tour isn’t just about seeing — it’s about experiencing the magic of movie‑making.
