A new Harry Potter studio tour near London, England opens to bring the magic of the famous books and films to fans of the wizard.

The 150,000-square-foot (14,000-square-meter) site will include only authentic sets, props and costumes, on the original studio site 20 miles (30 kilometres) northwest of London.

Here, on a film studio sound stage near London, stands the real Hogwarts — or at least a monumental model of the fictional wizarding school, the very one used in the eight Harry Potter movies.

Warner Bros. Studio Tour London – The Making of Harry Potter has taken a significant step toward inclusivity by introducing new tactile tours for visitors with sight loss.

The studio tour is a way to keep the Harry Potter machine running — but to be a success, it must avoid feeling like a cynical cash-in.
