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 or taking a tour of the locations 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 use 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 the dreams you want to fulfil during your trip to London is to visit Harry Potter Studios , you can get a ticket to the Harry Potter studios with return bus transport included from £119 at Hellotickets.

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 that brought the adventures of the wizard Harry Potter to life on the big screen.

Harry Potter Studios Park is divided into indoor areas (the common room and dormitory of Gryffindor House, 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 locations, 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 is one of London's most popular tourist attractions, so it gets very busy. If you buy your tickets online in advance, you'll be sure to get a 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 want and there being no availability. When buying tickets from resellers, you run the risk of being scammed and ending up without 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 and from the attraction, which is quite far from central London. So don't complicate things by having to find transportation, tickets, and everything else. 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 step is to choose 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 buy 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 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 tickets that include bus transport, as this makes things much simpler. It will be more comfortable and easier for children to travel directly by bus to Warner Bros. Studios instead of having to travel on different modes of transport and cross the city with several changes along the way.

You can also choose between transfer 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 on foot or by vehicle:

• Harry Potter Tour: prices start at €18 and include 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 €572: for 4 hours, 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 €27, you can combine your tour of the Harry Potter film locations with a beautiful cruise on the River Thames. A highly recommended combination.

Do children pay for these activities? Can you save a little on tickets?

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 love taking home a little gift!

That's right! If you have the London Pass (from £72) or the 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'll enjoy most during your holiday in the British capital, and these tourist cards will help you get the most out 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 for 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

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

A return train ticket costs around €15 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'll 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 starts, 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 where 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 for your travel around the city during 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, as the group dynamic and the guide's explanations make it an even more enjoyable experience).

In any case, there are many Harry Potter-related places 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 a pen to note down 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 in the Australian Embassy.
• The headquarters of the Order of the Phoenix in Claremont Square.
• The entrance to the Ministry of Magic in a typical red telephone box.
• The reptile terrarium at London Zoo.
