On location · HARRY POTTER TOURS IN THE USA
America does the wizarding world as theme park rather than film set, which is a different day out and worth knowing before you book. The 6 below are priced by access and queue time.
Spend three hours at a working Hollywood studio, beginning with a one-hour guided backlot tour before exploring sets and exhibits at your own pace. You can visit the real Central Perk set, sit in Sheldon’s spot from The Big Bang Theory, and see DC and Harry Potter displays. Guides speak English, French, or Spanish.
“no wonder Hollywood is called the dream factory . Come and see, you’ll feel it”
Spend about three hours at Warner Bros. Studio Hollywood with a small group of up to 14. Ride through working backlot streets, visit the Friends and Big Bang Theory sets, explore DC and Harry Potter displays, and try green-screen effects. Guides such as Maya, Maddie, Ken, and Javier bring the studio’s movie-making past to life.
“take the time to go through all that there is to offer during the tour. Our tour guide had a wealth of information that he passed on to us which made the tour very interesting.”
See Harry Potter and the Cursed Child on Broadway, a new stage story by J.K. Rowling, Jack Thorne, and John Tiffany. Follow Harry, Albus, and Draco Malfoy in a 3.5-hour show with intermission. Children under 5 are not admitted, and the play is best suited to ages 10 and up. Add the nearby Harry Potter New York visit for 15% off.
Spend a movie-filled day in Los Angeles with an open-air tour through Hollywood Hills, Beverly Hills, and West Hollywood, followed by Warner Bros. Studio Hollywood. See the Hollywood sign, Rodeo Drive, Sunset Strip, Friends sets, Harry Potter displays, and DC props. Guides such as Michael, Stan, Meg, and Drew have helped bring the stops to life.
“Enjoyed the tour. Backlot tour of Warner Brothers is excellent. Thoroughly enjoyed the Celebrity home tour as well.”
Pair a Warner Bros. Studio Hollywood visit with either an open-air Celebrity Homes Tour or a 24-hour Hollywood hop-on hop-off ticket. You will see real sets from Friends and The Big Bang Theory, explore Stage 48 and DC and Harry Potter exhibits, then visit sights such as the Hollywood Sign, Rodeo Drive, Sunset Strip, or the Walk of Fame.
“we enjoyed it very much the views the information was not quite up to date but still was interesting to hear”
At Harry Potter New York, you can ride a green-screen broomstick over Hogwarts, the Knight Bus, and a Quidditch match.

The shop also offers wand engraving, journal embossing, House robe embroidery, and photo spots.
