As Harry Potter was a magical world, a large part of the set for Harry Potter had to be created in Studio. The series was filmed over 10 years at Leavesden studios, just outside of London in the UK. Most of the set still remains and Harry Potter is now an attraction open to the public.

You can see real sets from the movies like The Great Hall, Gringotts Bank, and Dumbledore's office. Plus, check out drawings, small models, and props used in the films. You'll also get to watch videos that show how computer tricks made the magic look real!
