You can also see the Sorting Hat from those unforgettable scenes, which is a thrilling moment for fans of the films.<\/p>\n<h3><span id=\"Platform_9\">Platform 9\u00be<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-16219 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/nanameue-travel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/1240x720-copy-2Platform_v2_WB-0067-1-1-300x174.jpg\" alt=\"Platform 9\u00be\" width=\"791\" height=\"459\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: right;\"><span style=\"font-size: 10pt;\">Source: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wbstudiotour.jp\/the-experience\/sets\/#%E5%A4%A7%E5%BA%83%E9%96%93\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Warner Bros.<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n<p>In the latter part of the tour, you\u2019ll find Platform 9\u00be in a set replicating the interior of King\u2019s Cross Station. It recreates that famous scene where students heading to Hogwarts push their carts into the wall between platforms 9 and 10 and disappear.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s a photo spot, so try capturing the perfect moment just as you vanish, just like in the films.<\/p>\n<h3><span id=\"The_Hogwarts_Express\">The Hogwarts Express<\/span><\/h3>\n<p>In the same King\u2019s Cross Station area as Platform 9\u00be stands the Hogwarts Express. This steam locomotive, built in 1929 and once owned by the Great Western Railway under the name \u201cDumbleton Hall,\u201d makes an impressive display.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Even better, you can step inside the Hogwarts Express and walk alongside Harry, Ron, and Hermione where they are seated.<\/strong> Iconic scenes involving the Hogwarts Express are recreated, including the moment the trio first meets on the train, delighting fans of the films.<\/p>\n<h3><span id=\"The_Gryffindor_Common_Room\">The Gryffindor Common Room<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-16220 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/nanameue-travel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/IMG_4092-1-e1737970791916-225x300.jpg\" alt=\"Gryffindor Common Room\" width=\"592\" height=\"789\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: right;\"><span style=\"font-size: 10pt;\">Photo by Nanameue Travel<\/span><\/p>\n<p>The Gryffindor Common Room, featured in many memorable scenes, is recreated as a replica of the actual film set. Here, you can glimpse behind the scenes at the set\u2019s framework and wooden structure.<\/p>\n<p>Inside the common room, you\u2019ll find costumes worn by Hermione and Ginny, and on a small table in front of them are a book and a Hogwarts Goblet on display. As in the film, the portrait of the Fat Lady stands at the entrance, which may make Harry Potter fans want to shout the password.<\/p>\n<p>Across from the set of the common room lies the Gryffindor Boys\u2019 Dormitory. With dim lighting, it feels like you\u2019ve stepped right into the actual dorm.<\/p>\n<p>There are 4 canopy beds, including Harry Potter\u2019s. On Harry\u2019s bedside table are his round glasses, and each of the 4 boys\u2019 personalities is reflected in the set.<\/p>\n<h3><span id=\"Quidditch_Experience\">Quidditch Experience<\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Among the exhibits at The Making of Harry Potter, one of the most talked-about is the Quidditch Experience. This Quidditch Experience does not exist in England and is unique to The Making of Harry Potter.<\/p>\n<p>You\u2019ll first watch a video explaining how Quidditch was created, then you can participate as an extra in the Gryffindor vs. Slytherin match. A camera records you cheering, and you can download that footage later.<\/p>\n<p>You can\u2019t choose which team you\u2019ll support, but if you\u2019re wearing a specific house\u2019s robe, there\u2019s a good chance you\u2019ll be placed in that same house.<\/p>\n<h3><span id=\"The_Forbidden_Forest\">The Forbidden Forest<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-16222 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/nanameue-travel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/forbidden-forest-set-1-300x174.png\" alt=\"The Forbidden Forest\" width=\"824\" height=\"478\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: right;\"><span style=\"font-size: 10pt;\">Source: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wbstudiotour.jp\/the-experience\/sets\/#%E5%A4%A7%E5%BA%83%E9%96%93\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Warner Bros.<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n<p>The Forbidden Forest, off-limits to students within the Hogwarts grounds, is also faithfully recreated.

Here you\u2019ll find sets reenacting famous moments in the Forbidden Forest, encountering Hagrid, Buckbeak, and the flying Ford Anglia.<\/p>\n<h3><span id=\"Backlot\">Backlot<\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Located roughly at the midpoint of The Making of Harry Potter is the Backlot, and while most exhibits are indoors, this one is outside. In filmmaking terms, a \u201cbacklot\u201d is used for outdoor scenes. Here, you can see the giant chessboard and the Hogwarts Bridge.<\/p>\n<p>You can step onto the chessboard and feel as if you\u2019re one of Harry and his friends playing the game. It\u2019s also a prime spot for photos, so pick your favorite piece and snap a picture.<\/p>\n<h3><span id=\"The_Ministry_of_Magic_in_London\">The Ministry of Magic in London<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-16182 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/nanameue-travel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/1240x720-copy-MoM-1-1-300x174.jpg\" alt=\"Harry Potter\" width=\"824\" height=\"478\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: right;\"><span style=\"font-size: 10pt;\">Source: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wbstudiotour.jp\/the-experience\/sets\/#%E5%A4%A7%E5%BA%83%E9%96%93\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Warner Bros.<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n<p>Among the sets at The Making of Harry Potter, the Ministry of Magic in London covers an area of 900 square meters with walls over 9 meters high\u2014an imposing sight.

Since Gringotts Wizarding Bank isn\u2019t fenced off, you can climb the steps or take photos in front of the doors, which is a welcome bonus.<\/p>\n<h3><span id=\"Dumbledores_Office\">Dumbledore\u2019s Office<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-16225 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/nanameue-travel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/IMG_4187-1-225x300.jpg\" alt=\"Dumbledore\u2019s Office\" width=\"619\" height=\"825\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: right;\"><span style=\"font-size: 10pt;\">Photo by Nanameue Travel<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Dumbledore\u2019s Office is designed like a cylinder sliced open, letting you view it from top to bottom.
