Where can I see Harry Potter filming locations?
This experience will be an unforgettable experience for all visitors, Potter fans or not! Leavesden was the home of Harry Potter filming for over ten years, and when filming for the final entry to the series finished in 2010, the production crew left behind and preserved this treasure trove of thousands of beautiful, intricately made sets, props and costumes. This is a unique opportunity to see the artistic genius that went into creating everyone’s favourite wizard!
Sets you’ll see on the tour include the Great Hall, an iconic backdrop where all the houses would gather to count points and for dinner throughout the first six films.
