How to Get Harry Potter London Tickets Even if it’s SOLD OUT

harry potter studio tour

Activity Overview

  • City: London
  • Duration: 7 hours total
  • Price: $142
  • Included in the price: Round-trip transportation and entry to The Making of Harry Potter

The Making of Harry Potter sold out during your vacation? Think again! You may still be able to get legitimate tickets to the studios by booking through a tour company, which also provides you with transportation. Of course, this comes at a premium, but getting tickets during your vacation may be worth it.

Why We Think It’s Great:

The allure of this booking is transportation and entry to the studios. Tickets to The Making of Harry Potter sell out a month or more in advance. So, if your trip dates aren’t available through the official website, you may still be able to snag those dates through a tour company and get transportation included.

Sadly, this is not the bus we rode in on, but the bus we took gets our stamp of approval despite its lack of magical abilities.

Harry Potter London Tickets Highlights:

Tickets

Access The Making of Harry Potter even if tickets are sold out as tour companies buy tickets in advance.

Transportation

Get transportation to and from the studios (about a 45-minute drive one-way) so you don’t have to worry about taxis or train transfers.

Exploration

Explore the world of Harry Potter: see real props, special effects, and behind-the-scenes secrets from the movies!

Our Experience on the Harry Potter Tour

We are all about trying the tours we recommend, and this one was a no-brainer for us. We wanted to see the magic behind Harry Potte,r but we hadn’t booked tickets far enough in advance. Hence, this tour worked out so well for us.

Watch our video below as we take you through the Warner Bros. Studio Tour. We don’t share too much, so your tour will still be full of surprises.

Things to Note:

  • This is not a guided tour of the studios; it’s just transportation to and from with entry tickets to the studios.
  • It’s about twice as expensive as if you were to purchase tickets directly and take public transportation (about 1.5 hours of travel time by train one-way), so check the official website first, but come back here to snag tickets if your dates are sold out.
  • 72-hour cancellation policy: no refunds are issued within 72 hours of tour departure.
  • This tour allows for roughly 5 hours at the studio, which leaves some guests wanting more time to explore.

If this isn’t sounding like the best option for you, consider a Black Cab tour of London’s Harry Potter filming sites.
