Harry Potter London Park Tickets and Tour Prices

One of the most enjoyable activities you can do during a trip to London is visiting Harry Potter Studios Park or taking a tour of locations that reveal the places where the successful films were shot.

Many travellers come to London with the aim of taking one of the best Harry Potter tours, but are unable to do so because tickets are sold out. Buying them online is very easy, but how much do tickets cost? Are there reduced rates? Can you participate using a tourist card? I'll tell you all that and more below!

If you are a fan of the Harry Potter saga and one of your dreams during your trip to London is to visit Harry Potter Studios , you can get a ticket to Harry Potter Studios from £119 at Hellotickets , including return bus transport.

With this ticket to Harry Potter Studios, Muggles can enter the magical universe created by novelist J.K. Rowling to learn how the films were made and what special effects were used, as well as see the sets, props and costumes used to recreate the adventures of the wizard Harry Potter on the big screen.

Harry Potter Studios Park is divided into indoor areas (the Gryffindor common room and dormitory, the Great Hall, the Weasley family living room, etc.) and outdoor areas (Platform 9 ¾, Diagon Alley, Ollivander's shop, the Forbidden Forest and the Dursleys' house on Privet Drive, among others). And in the sets of both places, you will not only see some original objects from the Harry Potter saga, but also a lot of information about how it was made.

Harry Potter Studios Park is one of London's most popular tourist attractions, so it gets a huge influx of visitors. If you buy your tickets online and in advance, you'll secure your place for the date and time you want to visit.

I do not recommend buying them once you arrive in London, as if the date is approaching, you run the risk of them selling out for the day you wanted and there being no availability. When buying Harry Potter tickets from a reseller, you run the risk of being ripped off and also of not getting a ticket.

Furthermore, unlike tickets purchased at the Warner Bros. Studios box office, this ticket to Harry Potter Studios includes round-trip bus transportation to this attraction, which is quite far from central London. So it's best not to complicate things by searching for transportation, tickets, and so on. Choose a tour where everything is already organised and simplify things!

If you've already decided that the best option is to book tickets with transport, the next decision is which tour best suits your needs. Here's a comparison table to help you choose:

If you prefer to visit Harry Potter Studios on your own, you can also purchase tickets on the Warner Bros Studios website.

Ticket prices are as follows:

• Adults (over 16): from £49
• Children (aged 5-15): from £39
• Children under 4: Free

These tickets only give you access to Harry Potter Studios and do not include bus transport from central London, so you will have to arrange your own transport.

If you are visiting with children, I recommend choosing the option that includes bus transport, as it makes things much simpler. It will be more comfortable and easier for the little ones to travel directly by bus to Warner Bros. Studios rather than having to travel on different modes of transport and cross the city, making several changes along the way to get there.

You can also choose between transport from Victoria Station or King's Cross, both options include tickets to Harry Potter Park.

Harry Potter tours in London have different prices depending on factors such as group size, duration of the activity and whether it is done on foot or in a vehicle:

• Harry Potter Tour: prices start at CAD 28 and consist of a short walking tour in a small group to see some of the locations from the saga for approximately 2 hours.
• Harry Potter Tour by private car, from CAD 916: for 4 hours, you will discover some of the key locations where Harry Potter was filmed in a typical black taxi with a maximum of 6 people.
• Harry Potter Tour and Thames Cruise: from CAD 43, you can combine your tour of the Harry Potter film locations with a beautiful cruise on the River Thames. A highly recommended combination.

For these Harry Potter activities, babies usually get in free, while other children must purchase their own tickets, just like adults, in order to participate in the experience.

However, there are reduced rates for children that will help you save a little on your budget during your stay in London, which you can then spend in the Harry Potter souvenir shop. The little ones are sure to be thrilled to take home a little gift!

Yes! If you have a London Pass (from £80) or a London Explorer Pass (from £58), you can use it to take tours of Harry Potter locations and many other films such as Mary Poppins, Bridget Jones, James Bond and Sherlock Holmes.

If you love cinema, this is undoubtedly one of the activities you will enjoy most during your holiday in the British capital, and these tourist cards will help you make the most of your hobbies while saving money (by not having to pay for each ticket separately) and time (by avoiding queues at the city's tourist attractions).

To choose the tourist card that best suits your plans in London, I recommend reading the post The best tourist card in London. There you will find very interesting information to learn how they work and what each one includes.

How to get to Harry Potter Studios Park

Harry Potter Studios Park is located 32 kilometres northeast of London. To get there, you will need to combine several modes of transport, such as the train and the bus.

A return train ticket costs around €15 to travel from London Euston station to Watford Junction, the closest station to Warner Bros. Studios.

However, that's not the end of the journey, as you will then need to take a bus from Watford Junction station to the entrance of Harry Potter Park. The shuttle bus ticket costs approximately £4.

For detailed information on how to get there, I recommend you take a look at the post How to get to the Harry Potter Studios in London.

How to get to the Harry Potter location tours

To get to the meeting point where the location tour begins, I recommend taking the underground. It is the fastest and most convenient way to get around London, although it is also one of the most expensive. A single ticket can cost between €6 and €8, depending on the area you are travelling to.

As the price is a little high, to save some money I recommend getting a Travelcard (a card for unlimited use for a period of time) or an Oyster Card (a rechargeable card that reduces the price of a single ticket), two transport cards that you can use to get around the city for the duration of your stay.

Of course you can! If you're travelling to London on a tight budget but don't want to miss out on a tour of the Harry Potter film locations during your stay, you can always choose to go on your own (although if you're a big fan of the series, I recommend joining a guided tour because the group dynamic and the guide's explanations make it an even more enjoyable experience).

In any case, there are many Harry Potter-related sites of interest that you can visit for free in the city. All you need is a travel card to get around by tube, a map and to make a note of the following locations:

• The Leaky Cauldron in Borough Market and Leadenhall Market.
• Diagon Alley in Leadenhall Market.
• Sirius Black's residence at 25 Claremont Square.
• Platform 9¾ at King's Cross Station.
• The entrance to King's Cross Station on the façade of the St Pancras Renaissance Hotel.
• The Dursleys' house in the Whinging neighbourhood.
• Gringotts Bank at the Australian Embassy.
• The Order of the Phoenix headquarters in Claremont Square.
• The entrance to the Ministry of Magic in a typical red telephone box.
• The reptile terrarium at London Zoo.
