Sneak peek: First Harry Potter studio tour ever

Ever wanted to roam the halls of Hogwarts or take a drive in the Flying Ford Anglia?
The film franchise may be over, but the magic will live on in the Warner Bros. Studio Tour London — The Making of Harry Potter, behind-the-scenes studio tours of the production site of all eight movies.

Opening in 2012, the walking tours of the Warner Bros Studios Leavesden will take fans on a journey through the reconstructed sets and soundstages, costumes, animatronics, props and special effects of the films, plus exclusive exhibits and hands-on activities. The days of boring museums are officially over!

Some of the iconic sets include the Great Hall, the Ministry of Magic and Dumbledore's office, while props range from the self-chopping kitchen knife (which visitors can play with through motion detection) to the original beds of the young wizards to Dumbledore's ancient library and collection of paintings.

Warner Bros has huge expectations it'll be a massive tourist drawcard, like the Universal Studios' The Wizarding World of Harry Potter theme park in Orlando, Florida.

"The tour promises to be one of the most exciting and memorable visitor attractions anywhere in Europe, delivering an experience never before seen by the general public," said Josh Berger, Warner Bros. UK President and Managing Director.

Tickets go on sale in six days' time, starting at around $33 for children aged 5-15, $44 for adults, and under fours get in free.
