January
0:15
28th
0:21
2025 I'm heading
0:21
north to the Warner Brothers
0:24
tour in London I'm going to take the
0:27
underground couple different series of
0:30
the
0:32
tube more or less the subway here two
0:36
different sections and then from there a
0:37
taxi welcome everyone Adam the woo here
0:41
wearing an appropriate Platform 9 and
0:44
3/4 K cross
0:48
t-shirt I got to get going I'm inviting
0:50
you to join me got a little travel
0:53
little travel to get up there join me
0:56
shall you so from where I am near
0:58
Picadilly we Square to be more specific
1:02
going to go from the square up to
1:05
Houston and then get off and then
1:07
connect with another
1:15
one there is a shuttle bus but I would
1:15
have had to goone to King cross station
1:17
or King's cross station and then from
1:20
there take the shuttle bus on I figured
1:22
I would just do public transport through
1:25
the tubes and
1:28
trains all right getting on the lunch ra
2:20
look I thought about taking a taxi from
2:20
Waterford Junction over to the spot but
2:22
evidently they might have a bus or maybe
2:24
they're just telling me which way to
2:25
walk it's not too far from here this
2:27
spells out Waterford
2:34
2 and 1 half miles I think I might just
2:34
wait for the bus from here I think a
2:36
taxi probably would have been a little
2:40
probably a little quicker but why not be
2:43
part of the
2:45
experience Power by muggle
2:56
electricity a muggle a non- wizard
2:56
that's the common
2:58
Folk all right have arrived looks like
3:01
I'm going to be walking
3:03
through all the different
3:05
wands leading in that's pretty
3:10
awesome Ministry of magic needs
3:28
cool the big question is where is he who
3:28
must not be named oh like they have the
3:30
chest pieces up
3:36
here pretty good amount of people this
3:36
is pretty popular
3:37
attraction this is where all the movies
3:40
were made there's going to be props
3:42
possibly sound stages I've stayed pretty
3:44
spoiler-free SE a couple photos and
3:46
things but that's about as much as I've
3:49
seen on the property itself so I'm
3:51
pretty dang excited to see what is going
3:53
to be bestowed upon my eyes oh there is
3:58
he well
4:01
let's not say his name say I have to
4:03
wonder if these are screen used props
4:05
too I would imagine most of the things
4:06
here are going to
4:12
be purchase a deluxe tour there wasn't a
4:12
lot of booking this thing was pretty
4:14
filled up they had a deluxe tour for

4:17
and grabbed it and they're going to give

6:04
broomsticks depicting the scene where
6:06
they cause an array of Mischief which I
6:08
will be telling you a little bit more
6:09
about in just a moment but keep making
6:12
your way all the way down into the Great
6:14
Hall for me this set is dressed and
6:17
ready just like it was during production
6:19

also see we are dressed and ready for
6:37
the O WL examinations as seen in Harry
6:40
Potter and the Order of the Phoenix let
6:43
me take a little look at the very top of
6:44
the Great Hall here we have everyone's
6:47
favorite teacher to hate Professor
6:49
Dolores Umbridge played by the very
6:51
talented in Elder stor to where has
6:54
sickly sweet P SE now we first see the
6:56
pendulum in Harry Potter and the
6:57
Prisoner of aaban and designed by our
7:00
special effects Department led by
7:02
special effects supervisor John
7:04
Richardson now it is powered by a single
7:06
motor attached to a rotary arm giving it
7:09
the incredible ability to swing live on
7:12
set if we cast our memories back to the
7:14
scene where Fred and George Weasley
7:16
burst into the great wall with their
7:18
fireworks causing an array of colorful
7:20
chaos which PR theet would have looked a
7:23
little bit like this in 3 2 1 action
7:34
there we go fantastic big round of
7:34
applause for our wonderful special
7:36
effects team creating to g a private
7:38
tour screen that your tour continues
7:41
right around that corner where you are
7:42
now free to explore and go behind the
7:44
scenes and for those magical film series
7:46
in the world enjoy a suit in the middle
7:48
there is moaning myrtles I never
7:50
realized the guy was telling me she
7:51
never realized I started working here
7:53
and Moaning Myrtle was a raven claw
7:55
Raven claw also who knew this is so dang
7:59
cool of course there would have been two
8:00
more tables in the middle when they were
8:02
filming
8:03
it seats say jump up and Jo me up here
8:26
your took place inside the Great Hall
8:26
set
8:29
the most exciting thing about the
8:32
children that were actually in the films
8:34
was that they got to dress
8:37
up normally you see them in uniforms
8:40
they very I was mentioned these are all
8:42
the hero outfits these are not worn by
8:44
stunt doubles these are worn by all the
8:46
actors granted there was multiple snapes
8:49
outfit but he would have worn this one
8:52
all these characters wore these outfit
8:54
basically the a costumes or the hero
8:57
costumes if you will the Great Hall is
9:00
on the other side of that wall right
9:04
there she would definitely make her own
9:07
jewelry Luna's outfits Luna's outfits
9:11
and jewelry created by the jewelry made
9:15
by the actress who was chosen out of
9:18
15,000 or 1500 people who showed up blue
9:22
necklace is the one she's wearing when
9:24
we were first introduced to Luna party
9:27
now when we're designing a costume for
9:29
specific scene in a character we always
9:31
think about why the character is wearing
9:34
that outfit in that moment so you think
9:37
about Luna she wasn't very popular at H
9:39
was she she probably doesn't get invited
9:42
toties so the fact that she's going to
9:44
the slug club party with Harry Potter
9:47
it's a very big deal for her so it's
9:49
designed to look like a fencing
9:52
dublet you can see he's got a big
9:55
embroidered coat of arms on the front
9:57
just in case you forget who he is you
9:59
you can see the
10:01
G I'm going to show you one of the most
10:03
important pieces of makeup for the Harry
10:06
Potter
10:08
film now a little bit different as much
10:11
as Robbie c train loved playing Hagrid
10:14
for the Harry Potter films he hated
10:17
wearing this beard you can appreciate
10:19
probably very hot and very itchy to the
10:21
Gryffindor common room now where Harry
10:24
live once he was off of privet Drive
10:28
where they are up top you get a little
10:30
older there's the invisibility cloak
10:32
right there wow there's the Marauders
10:38
map Griffin
10:40
stairwell wow the set from doubl door's
10:43
office holy cow seen this in Q's you
10:46
know you go to Universal Hollywood and
10:47
they have like a mockup of
10:50
this when you're like walking through if
10:53
this is the actual scream you
10:57
set oh man man this is
11:01
cool really freaking cool have both
11:04
dumbledoor
11:05
they
11:07
got first one up there he was in the
11:09
first two and then the one that was in
11:11
all the rest of
11:13
them right just behind him on the Shelf
11:16
you can see the Sorting Hat there it is
11:18
from this angle you got perfect view of
11:20
him on the bookshelf that's where for
11:22
most of the school year the books on the
11:25
shelves are actually made they are phone
11:28
books so phone Direct iies that have
11:30
been
11:31
rebound that's the sword from the second
11:33
fil from part two when they got it out
11:35
of come place is straight up insane this
11:39
is this is the freaking spot if you're a
11:42
fan of the movie seen that Universal
11:43
Hollywood so many times and there's the
11:45
there's the prop right there the real
11:46
one oce's
11:48
classroom has anyone been looking for
11:50
other Harry Potter related things to do
11:54
they're here Half Blood prints book and
11:56
station here so also what interesting
11:58
she said originally in the early films
12:00
this was where they had the three-headed
12:02
dog just this section and then when the
12:04
films became successful they started
12:06
building their own sets after the the
12:08
second one when they knew the franchise
12:10
was going to continue on and they
12:12
expanded it into snake's little section
12:14
but the three huged three-headed dog was
12:17
used in here and then eventually became
12:19
a potion room for
12:21
snake who was standing right there Allen
12:23
rickman's suit right
12:31
there for the FL tree bark dried flowers
12:31
things like that the bottom shelves are
12:33
where it starts getting a little bit
12:34
more exciting so one of the things the
12:36
props team did was they actually went to
12:39
London Zoo uh they went to the gift shop
12:42
and they bought hundreds of rubber toys
12:45
from the kid section more portraits over
12:49
here very expansive
12:59
place right into the burrow
12:59
the bur set
13:07
now and then because Mr Weasley loves
13:07
Muggles he's tried to build the house
13:09
without magic holding it up so that's
13:12
why everything's slightly not at a right
13:14
angle it hasn't quite worth yeah I'm
13:17
really really impressed on how many sets
13:18
are in here I did not think it would be
13:20
this expansive all right so just a few
13:24
things before we head through into the
13:26
next section of the sidden forest um we
13:28
have got the Divination passing by
13:32
Hagrid going in this is really really
13:35
dang cool through here and there just
13:38
buck
13:39
beak make sure you
13:47
bow about to make it not only have you
13:47
got all the mechanics insed to make it
13:49
move but the front half of them is
13:51
covered in
14:09
too all right so this is our dog
14:09
everybody and his
14:15
family
14:15
to you remember the r is terrified
14:45
going to walk onto the Hogwarts Express
14:48
go through it set dress for how it would
14:50
have been in each film like Goblet of
14:52
Fire right here Order of the
14:56
Phoenix what it would look like set
14:58
dress like that blood prints check it
15:00
out they even have the little heart
15:01
right there where she drew the r and the
15:10
L all these amazing graphic props so
15:10
things that are important to the plant
15:12
like the Mor's map Harry's Hogwarts
15:14
letter but also lots of things to just
15:16
dress the set and just you know fill out
15:19
the world of the films even a little bit
15:21
more um I didn't know there were
15:23
Hogwarts Express air fresheners until I
15:25
started working here um since working on
15:29
Harry Potter um Mira for and Eduardo
15:33
have set up their own company uh it's
15:35
called the house of mina Lima and they
15:37
actually have an exhibition a popup shop
15:40
in Central London all right walking
15:43
through a little eating area now over
15:45
here continue like we might be going
15:47
outside there's the wooden bridge that's
15:50
a that's neat here's the night
15:53
bus right there
16:02
that's the miniature of the Weasley
16:02
Place here's Harry's first
16:04
accommodations here on privet
16:06
drive all right so evidently the
16:09
exterior was used was a real set on a
16:13
real street for the first movie then
16:15
they built the exteror for seels these
16:18
are all real
16:30
dressing the second and there's
16:30
Doby this was the one that they did
16:32
drive around London there was three of
16:33
them this was the stump bus that drove
16:35
through London and there's the Hogwarts
16:38
Courtyard F we're over to the creature
16:40
effect room
17:01
of them and that way it's going to be so
17:01
much
17:02
simpler they will do it the literally
17:05
any body part that's needed sometimes
17:08
full body parts are made remember this
17:12
is a time before you know things like
17:16
digital visual effects
17:25
really she was saying some of the
17:25
creature effects are a little different
17:26
than how they how they ended up in the
17:30
movie oh he should not be named I should
17:34
say
17:47
while there the book of monsters right
17:47
there a few of
17:55
them there's hagd at his full height
17:55
next to normal size people is actually a
17:58
size double so his size double was
18:01
actually
18:02
6'10 his name was Martin Bayfield he so
18:05
it would literally go on over his own
18:07
face he could see out the eyes are made
18:11
of tea strainers so he had some Vision
18:15
but not a lot so Joe who was the
18:19
operator for mrid would be just off
18:21
camera watching a monitor with a massive
18:23
box remote and he could make Agra frown
18:26
he could make the eyes move he could
18:28
make the mouth move as
18:30
well he could see yeah the eyes are made
18:32
the tea
18:33
strainer ha's
19:00
so we could breathe
19:00
fire so actually I met a lot of the
19:03
original crew which was great we could
19:05
ask them all of our questions and um
19:08
that's where most of our knowledge comes
19:10
from so when I met Nick dubman who's the
19:13
head of the creature apartment um he
19:15
actually told us that the metal skeleton
19:18
inside the Hungarian horn tail is
19:21
actually made of aluminium ladders so
19:24
ladders bought in a hardware shop down
19:26
the road and it's actually adapted from
19:29
the Bisk from the Chamber of
19:48
Secrets ah there's the B's
19:57
hat the green gots workers back
20:00
so they are made of silicon and they are
20:01
a little bit bendy theyd be for anyone
20:03
right at the back if they pick something
20:05
up it's not going seen on camera to go
20:09
into green Gods was pretty pretty insane
20:11
so basically the first green God in the
20:12
first movie was filmed out a real place
20:15
in uh the greater London area but then
20:17
when you when it got to the last film
20:19
they ended up having to build the set
20:21
and this is all the original set with
20:22
the exception of the floor the floor
20:24
they had to redo because so people walk
20:26
across and then on the way out you get
20:28
to get to do a special photo op for the
20:30
deluxe gaso I got a couple photos for
20:32
the deluxe gas and there is me signing
20:34
something at the green gots bank right
20:36
there check it up there a wide one and
20:37
then there's uh there's this one right
20:39
there I even have one of the green gots
20:41
pin in my
20:43
hand one of the cool things in here is
20:47
you can see where the props team have
20:49
really thought about the backstory for
20:51
the set considering they only get given
20:53
a few sentences a few little bits of
20:56
information from the original Harry
20:58
Potter BS and from the script so the
21:02
strange family we learn have always been
21:04
associated with the dark arts and
21:05
they're very old visiting family so on
21:08
some of the boxes in here you can see uh
21:11
dates giving you an idea of how old the
21:13
family is there like a
21:15
strange something's going on in here
21:17
wait a second wait
21:49
all right that was pretty dang
21:49
awesome oh
21:51
man that was Co where we
21:55
going a ston
21:59
I think it
22:02
is now walking through Diagon Alley was
22:05
pretty awesome so these are the sets
22:07
from Diagon Alley obviously they were
22:09
moved from their original spot here on
22:11
property and set up in this particular
22:12
area the guide was also saying that the
22:16
the set for Diagon was used for another
22:18
area at one point uh for another one of
22:21
the films it was reset dress so it was
22:23
used in two different occasions
22:25
according to her and once you go through
22:27
Diagon you kind of they have some screen
22:28
used props as well some of the hero
22:31
capes hero outfits that the characters
22:34
are wearing but as you exit out of
22:35
Diagon we got to see a layout from Half
22:37
Blood Prince of Hogwarts Castle and then
22:40
the grand reveal of the 124 model of
22:43
Hogwarts Castle which is pretty amazing
22:45
to see a 124 scale of Hogwarts Castle
22:49
and all its Glory I mean I've seen it
22:50
Universal Hollywood hundreds of times
22:53
and just seeing the screen used one from
22:55
the first film that they used and they
22:57
kind of like showed from all the
22:58
different angles and this this according
23:01
to her was set up from the first film
23:03
and as the movies went on they kind of
23:05
changed it into the layout of different
23:08
things like where uh where Hagrid's
23:11
little Hut was at the top of at the
23:13
bottom of the hill was different in some
23:14
of the later films than it was in the
23:16
first one but this is the 124 model of
23:19
the the very very first movie which is
23:21
pretty pretty awesome to see and then
23:23
then we ended up going back through the
23:24
Great Hall again dumped us off in the at
23:27
the Great Hall and then can walk back
23:29
through at our own accord the guide has
23:32
uh left me to do pretty much whatever I
23:34
need to do uh without the chour so the
23:36
the the deluxe tour has ended and now
23:39
I'm able to use my P to get photo ops
23:41
get a butterbeer Etc and I'll be able to
23:44
continue Peru around at my own accord

and good side my wand bag nice little
29:12
souvenir I've been buying records at
