Harry Potter London Park Tickets and Tour Prices

One of the most fun activities you can do during a trip to London is to visit the Harry Potter Studios Park or take a location tour to discover the places where the blockbuster movies were filmed.

Many travelers come to London with the aim of doing one of the best Harry Potter tours, but they can't because the tickets are sold out. Buying tickets online is very easy, but how much do tickets cost, are there reduced rates, can you get in using a tourist card, and all that and more, I'll tell you below!

If you are a fan of the "Harry Potter" saga and one of the dreams you want to fulfill during your trip to London is to visit the Harry Potter Studios Park from 119 ¤ you can get in Hellotickets a ticket to the Harry Potter Studios with transport included round trip by bus.

With this ticket to Harry Potter Studios Park, muggles can enter the magical universe created by the 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 with which the adventures of the wizard Harry Potter were recreated on the big screen.

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

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

Taking them out once you land in London is something that I do not recommend because if the date is approaching, you run the risk of being sold out for the day you wanted and there is no availability. In the resale of Harry Potter tickets you run the risk of being ripped off and also being left without a ticket.

Also, unlike the tickets at the Warner Bros. studios ticket offices, this ticket to Harry Potter Studios Park includes bus transfer to and from this attraction, which is quite far from the center of London. So it's best not to hassle with finding transport, tickets and so on - choose a tour where everything is already organized and simplify things!

If you already know that the best option is to book tickets with transportation, the decision now will be which of the tours best suits your needs. Here is a comparison table to help you in your selection:

In case you prefer to visit the Harry Potter Studios Park on your own, you can also buy tickets on the Warner Bros Studios website.

Ticket prices are as follows:

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

These tickets only give access to the Harry Potter Studios Park and do not include bus transfer from central London, so you will need to find your own transport.

If you are going to make this visit with children, the option I recommend you to choose is the tickets with bus transport included as it simplifies things. For the kids it will be more comfortable and easier to travel directly by bus to Warner Bros. Studios instead of having to travel by different means of transport and cross the city making several transfers on the way to get there.

You can also choose to transfer from Victoria Station or King's Cross, both options have tickets to Harry Potter Park included.

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

• Harry Potter Tour: its price starts at 19€ and consists of a walking tour, brief and in a small group to see some locations of the saga for about 2 hours.

• Harry Potter Tour by private car: for 4 hours you will discover aboard a typical black cab and with a maximum of 6 people some of the key locations where Harry Potter was filmed.

• Harry Potter tour and cruise on the Thames: from 36€ you can combine your tour of the locations of the Harry Potter film with a beautiful cruise on the River Thames. A highly recommended mix.

In these Harry Potter universe activities, babies usually get in for free while other children must buy their own tickets just like adults to be able to participate in the experience.

However, for them there are reduced rates that will help you save a little on your budget during your stay in London and that you can use to spend in the Harry Potter souvenir store. I'm sure the little ones will be thrilled to get a little gift!

That's right! If you have the London Pass (from 92 ¤) 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 or Sherlock Holmes.

If you love movies, there is no doubt that this is one of the activities you will enjoy the most during your vacations in the British capital and these tourist cards will help you to enjoy your hobbies while saving money (by not having to pay separately for each ticket) and time (by avoiding queues at tourist attractions in the city).

To choose the tourist card that best suits your plans in London, I recommend you to read 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 20 miles northeast of London. To get there you will have to combine several means of transport such as train and bus.

A return train ticket can cost you around 15 € to go from London Euston station to Watford Junction station, the closest to Warner Bros. Studios.

However there does not end the journey because then you have to take a bus that takes you from Watford Junction station to the entrance of the Harry Potter Park. The ticket for this shuttle bus will cost you about 4 € approximately.

To know in detail how to get there, I recommend you to take a look at the post How to get to Harry Potter Studios London.

How to get to the Harry Potter location tours

To get to the meeting point where the location tour starts, the transport I recommend you to take is the subway. It is the fastest and most comfortable way to move around London although it is also one of the most expensive. The single ticket can cost from 6 or 8 € depending on the area where you move.

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

Of course you can! If you are traveling to London on a tight budget but you don't want to give up a tour of locations from the Harry Potter films during your stay, you can always opt to go on your own (although if you really like the saga, I recommend joining a guided tour because the group dynamics and the guide's explanations make it an even more fun 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 transportation card to get around on the subway, a map and note down the following sites:

• The Leaky Cauldron in Borough Market and Leadenhall Market.
• Diagon Alley in Leadenhall Market.
• Sirius Black's residence at 25 Claremont Square.
• Platform 9 and ¾ at King Cross Station.
• The entrance to King Cross Station on the facade of the St Pancras Renaissance Hotel.
• The Dursley's house in the Whinging district.
• The Gringotts bank at 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 booth.
• The reptile terrarium at London Zoo.
