Number Four, Privet Drive & Herbology

The Dursely's residence that is Number Four, Privet Drive in Little Whinging has always been a staple part of Warner Bros. Studio Tour London – The Making of Harry Potter, but now, you can actually go inside! And yes, it's the exact same interior (and exterior) from the films. Inside, you'll see countless props, which includes the dreadful Aunt Marge who's already started to float in mid-air due to her sudden magical weight gain! You'll also find Harry Potter's room, where the young wizard is talking to Dobby the House Elf. 

Just a Golden Snitch's throw from number four, Privet Drive, you can now also find the Herbology Garden as seen in Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone (2001). Professor Sprout is nowhere in sight, though, but there are plenty of Warner Bros. Studio Tour London – The Making of Harry Potter staff members on hand if you have any questions, as well as, of course, Mandrakes that you can pull from their roots. Just make sure you're wearing your earmuffs properly - those screams are unbearable...

Gringotts & The Vaults

Despite being the most lavish set in the entire studio, Gringotts Wizarding Bank might also be the most unsettling. Just like in the films - especially Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows - Part 2 - the Goblins here stationed at the desks that line the bank's shimmering atrium, are the stuff of nightmares. Those piercing beetle eyes are enough to penetrate even an Invisibility Cloak! 

Nevertheless, this epic addition to the tour will make you feel like you've stepped inside from the cold of Diagon Alley (which comes right after Gringotts on the tour). And then, of course, there are are the deep vaults beneath the bank, and let's just say that "there are more than a few curious things in the vaults at Gringotts". But like what? Well, piles of Gold, for starters. Oh, and that fire-breathing dragon who probably followed you inside from the atrium at the start of the tour...

As well as all the above, there are many more extras on the tour, including a scaled-down model of the Weasley's home, the Burrows, which can be found outside near the Knight Bus, on Privet Drive and Godric's Hollow!
