This morning’s included visit is sure to be a highlight of your trip! Warner Bros. Studio Tour London is a behind-the-scenes walking tour which immerses guests in the exciting world of film-making. The tour features authentic sets, costumes and props from the Harry Potter film series located at the studio where it was filmed and showcases the British artistry, technology and talent that go into producing world renowned movies. The Studio Tour will focus on the Harry Potter film series, incorporating some of its most iconic sets including the Great Hall, Dumbledore’s office, Diagon Alley and the Gryffindor common room. In the afternoon travel to Oxford, home to incredible architecture and many scenes in Harry Potter. You will see Christchurch College, used as Hogwarts dining room and the Bodleian Library, used as Hogwarts’ library.  Overnight South Midlands area.

Part of the North Yorkshire Moors Railway, the station was used in ‘Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone’.     Overnight North Yorkshire area.

DAY 4

 

Depart for Northumberland and Alnwick Castle, the second largest inhabited castle in the UK. The castle gardens were used to film Harry’s first flying lesson and as you explore you will recognize more scenes including the location of some of the Quidditch games. From Alnwick travel to Bamburgh Castle, where some scenes in both ‘Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone’ and ‘Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets’ were filmed.  Overnight Newcastle area.

DAY 5

Take the short journey to Durham and its stunning Cathedral. Used in the first two Harry Potter films, you will recognise the cloisters as the quadrangle where Harry flies his owl, and the chapter house as Professor McGonagall’s classroom.
