Warner Bros. Studio Tour From London - The Making of Harry Potter
Dark Arts returns for the Halloween season. Fans of Death Eaters, daring duels and Hallowe'en feasts are invited to explore the darkness of the Wizarding World.
Returning this year, the iconic Great Hall set will be decorated with over 100 floating pumpkins, as seen in Harry Potter and the Philosopherâs Stone. Created by Head Propmaker on all the Harry Potter films, Pierre Bohanna, the pumpkins are hand-carved by the Prop Making Department so no two are alike. The Great Hall tables will also be laden with a Halloweâen feast of red apples, pumpkins, and cauldrons of lollipops.
Brush up on your wand moves in an exciting live duel with Death Eaters. Demonstrating how a crowd scene like the Battle of Hogwarts would have been created during filming, you will test out their defensive wand techniques as they are directed through a battle with Death Eaters.
In addition to this, vats of slimy troll snot, buckets of dribbling drool (of the three-headed dog variety) and pools of silvery unicorn blood will be showcased in the Tour allowing you to get hands-on and see exactly how the slime and goo was created.
