Harry Potter StudioDeluxe Experience

Overview of the Deluxe Harry Potter Studio Tour experience

The Deluxe ticket offers an enhanced experience at the Harry Potter Studio Tour, with added perks over the standard admission. In this guide we aim to precisely what distinguishes this option to make an informed decision!‍The first perk of the Deluxe Tour is the opportunity to take a photo at the Great Hall door, a privilege not available to standard ticket holders who can only view the door during a guide's introduction to the tour. Another advantage is being accompanied through the entire studio tour by a tour guide. Unlike standard tickets, which offer a self-guided exploration, the Deluxe Tour provides an expert guide who shares numerous unknown fun facts about the crew and cast, as well as on-set filming experiences. The guide even wears white gloves to handle all the original items used in filming, ranging from costumes and accessories to letters and books.

Midway through the tour, before venturing outside to view the outdoor sets and props, you can select your choice of food and drinks to enjoy afterwards, which awaits you at the end of the guided part of the tour. After completing the guided tour, which concludes at the Hogwarts scale model, you'll be treated to your pre-selected complimentary lunch in a private section of the Chocolate Frog Café. The meals are generously portioned, ensuring you'll be well-fed and ready to continue exploring the studio tour on your own.
