This unique tour takes you behind-the-scenes and showcases a huge array of original sets, costumes and props. It also reveals some closely guarded secrets, including facts about the special effects and animatronics that made these films so hugely popular all over the world.

Platform 9 ¾™ and Hogwarts Express™
Step onto Platform 9 ¾ and venture inside the original Hogwarts Express steam engine train! This permanent exhibit gives visitors the chance to climb aboard the train’s carriage and pose with a luggage trolley as it disappears through the platform wall.

Enter Gringotts Wizarding Bank on Diagon Alley™ and discover the magical treasures within.
