Warner Bros. Studio Tour London - The Making of Harry Potter is a public attraction in Leavesden, near London, in southeastern England. It is a permanent exhibit offering an authentic behind the scenes look at the Harry Potter films situated inside Warner Bros. Studios, Leavesden.

It opened to the public in early 2012. The grand opening event was attended by many of the Harry Potter film series cast and crew members.^[4]

Each tour session typically lasts three hours,^[5] and the tour has the capacity to handle 6,000 visitors daily.^[6] Despite Warner Bros. being the studio behind Harry Potter, the tour is not styled as a theme park due to the fact that Warner Bros. sold the license to do so to Universal Studios.

TripAdvisor has reported that The Making of Harry Potter is the highest-rated attraction in the world every year since opening.^[7] It has developed a reputation as a must-see attraction for anyone visiting the city of London.^[8]

Other Warner Bros. public attractions[]

Wizarding World of Harry Potter[]
