Very informative and useful tips! Thank you!! I just bought my ticket to the studio in September, I can't wait for the day to come! I would love a picture infront of the great hall doors so your tip definitely helped me a lot! It would be so memorable
I’m flying over on tuesday to go for a Christmas present so excited!
My son and I went in February and loved every minute. Would love to see it again
Awesome guide! Thank you for all the info!
Thanks for the tips, they were very helpful!
Glad it was helpful!
Thank you so much for your review
I’ve had butterbeer with my family at Warner Brothers in London, Universal Studios in Orlando, and the Harry Potter store in New York City. It’s the same in London and Orlando, except the latter has “frozen butterbeer”, which is thicker, not frozen solid. The NYC recipe is completely different and far better. Hope you get to try it, if you haven’t already.
Thanks for your feedback! We have tried it in Orlando and loved the frozen butterbeer but haven't year tried it in the NYC store but I have heard it is quite different!
excelent video!! really helpful!
Very well laid out, succint and informative video. Really appreciate all the good info you methodically packed into your video. The only teeny bit of feedback would be that if you could please put headings at the start of each section in your video that would make this video a 100%. Regardless, this was very helpful and I thank you for the same.
Thanks for your feedback, we will do that!
Thanks for the tip. I’m going there on a tour in the beginning of next year. I’ve already made a list of what to get over at the studio
Glad it was helpful! There are too many things to buy!
@@CreativeTravelGuide I’ve got a list ready when that day comes
I'm about to visit the wb studios on this weekend. I'm so exited ! 😊😁
Yay! Hope you had a great time!
@@CreativeTravelGuide It was amazing !
Hello i have a question, tomorrow i have a booking at 12:30 pm whereas my girlfriend’s booking is at 1:30 pm. Can i just step in earlier and enjoy the whole experiece with them, like tours maybe train trips and else stuff, would your pls advice. As i have no clue what would be going on there
@@maharramsuleymanov7369 Oh, and the shuttlebus to the studios don't control your time. You can arrive whenever you want.
How much did you pay for it? I’m going to London tomorrow and don’t know where to book and how much it costs
Super helpful!
I also want to book the earliest tour possible at 9 am and possibly go by train there. But regarding the shuttle bus I‘ve read online that the earliest shuttle bus from Watford is starting at 9:30 am or something. Is that true or are there shuttle busses before 9 am in the morning? I hope so. Because I don‘t think that driving with an uber is cheaper than by train, right?
So helpful. Thanks! :)
Glad it was helpful!
Very useful video and to the point
Glad it was helpful!
Hi ! Thank you for this video ! I'm going there in april on a friday at 6pm do you think there's going to be lots of people ? Thank you
Hello there. I am planning to visit the studio the nest month it is easy for me to get from Watford to the studio? There are always available bus in Watford station and also in studio to take us back to Watford station;
Hiya! Thanks for the lovely video. Would you suggest making our own way there by train or get the tour with bus transport included?
You can make your own way there by train and once you are at Watford Junction, there is a free bus shuttle that you can use
quick question, planing to go in March, but is the shuttle bus at Watford free? I read online that it’s an additional purchase, just want to be sure! Thank you
@@jessicatorres3684 the shuttle bus is included in the entry ticket price. So basically free. Hope my answer helps x
Hello ! Which package should I go for ? There are so many. Which one is the best ?
I went Christmas last year and it really was magical 11 months later I'm going again next week for Halloween dark magic even and already booked for February even next year
It’s such a magical place! We love visiting at Christmas! Enjoy your Halloween visit 🎃
I went in 2018 And had an amazing time, It was honestly the best day of my life, I'm actually going again this year For the return to azkaban event.
Oh enjoy! I wish we were back in the UK for that! We went last summer though and the green house addition is really cool!
I am planning to be in London around November. I live in Florida near universal studio. Thanks for the tips. I do love warm & frozen butter beer. I am planning on going to WB Studio in Watford. What train do I take? Which station is it? I do want to go on the weekday.
Yay hope you have a great time! If you head to Euston station in London, you can catch a train to Watford and then from there, get the Warner Bros studio bus that takes you straight to the door! Just make sure to book your studio tour tickets in advance as they sell out quickly
Hello from Greece! ❤️Absolutely loved your video very informative and helpful advices! I’m planning my visit and I would really want to ask is it worth the 250£ deluxe ticket? Or the simple tour would be just fine? I’m a huge Harry Potter fan and I would love to get the best out of this experience, it it’s quite a difference and would love to know if it’s worth it
We have done both and to be honest, I prefer the normal tour. Get the earliest slot you can as it will be much quieter around 9,9.30 and get exploring yourself. I found the tour with a guide to be quite overwhelming and you have to wait around for everyone to take their pictures and then you may move past a bit you are more interested in quite quickly
Ooofff can't wait going tomorrow.
Have fun!
thank you sooo much for the tips !! is it ok to book the standard tour and have have ?
Yes for sure, we always go for the standard
Hi great video - we’re visiting next weekend - do you know if the shuttle bus takes you back to Watford Junction after the tour?
Yes they have a bus stop that you can wait for buses to take you back to Watford junction
@@CreativeTravelGuide great thank you
Awesome video and helps some of my queries. Can you tell if broomstick video is available with separate charges? If yes, Do you happen to know what is the rate ? thanks in advance! :)
Yes you can get the broomstick video for sure! When you go around, you have the option to take part in the green screen section or not. When we were there a few weeks ago it was £25 for the video and less if you just wanted pictures!

@@CreativeTravelGuide thank you!!! 😍
Very informative and useful tips!
I have a question. I bought an online tour on Get Your Guide, i would like to know if anyone had a experience with that. They only provide a online voucher and in the description of the tour I'm expected to get the ticket to the studios personally before get on the bus. I already indicated the time for the visit to the studios.
yeah so you have your online voucher and you can show that at the bus, that is fine. Then, when you arrive at the Studio, you go to the ticket booth and collect tickets using the vouchers
not me planning to go on a saturday right on my birthday ahahah
i don't suppose you know how early the trains from london to watford junction run? would i be able to make a 9am slot at the studios if i'm coming from london?
You can get a train from London Euston to Watford Junction in around 20 minutes. Many trains will leave early enough for you to get there before 9am. I hope you have a great time!
@@CreativeTravelGuide thank you so much!
Hi. Thankyou. Can you please tell me how much the buses charge from watford junction stop to the studio?
If you show your studio ticket booking, it’s free
Thanks a lot
Excuse me , the day we te planning to go it’s only 2 pm departure, how much time we came stay at de studios?
It depends on what day of the week you are going but most days stay open until at least 6pm with most days staying opening until 8pm
Thank you. One question please. What happens if I'm an hour late? I'm going from Paris and I don't know if I'll arrive on time. Thanks
Good question! So they do give grace time in your ticket but it depends on how busy it is. We showed up about 45 minutes late once and had no issues, walked straight in. However, if they are really busy, they may have to rebook you for a time slot later that day, if they have it available. You should be fine but try to get there as near to your time slot if you can! 🤞
Hi! I'm planning on visiting the studios in a few months and my biggest question is if I still can get the printed ticket even if I bought it online? I've checked other channels and some of them said they haven't heard of that option, but as far a I've known it IS possible. You know if this is still available? And if so, where do you get the printed ticket?
Hi Jimena, from our experience you can order the ticket online and when you arrive, there are machines outside where you can get your printed ticket. They also have a great customer service desk so, if for some reason you can’t get a printed ticket from the machine, go to the desk and ask for a paper copy - they have different characters printed on them!
I'm looking online for tickets and i one said that they have a bus to pick you up from London.
But there's no mention of a return back. Do you know anything about these tickets in regards to returning to London? Or would we get back on our own? (Sorry to ask. I've looked and emailed about this and have gotten no reply back from the company selling the tickets).
Hi! So you have a few options, you can either get the train from Euston Station in London to Watford (a city on the outskirts of London). From there, they have huge signs that show you where to go to get the bus that connects you to the studios, and they run these buses all day and back again, so you will be able to get the bus back to Watford station at the end of your visit and then jump back on the train into London. If you are looking at getting a bus from London directly to the studios, there are a few tour options with companies like Golden Tours and Get Your Guide but the train is probably your easiest option
Fantastic video very informative thank you, I've got a question is the bus there included with the standed ticket £51:50 ?
Yes the bus is included in the ticket price, you just need to jump on it at Watford train station and then after the tour, there are bus stops directly outside of the entrance and you can wait there for the next bus back to the station
@@CreativeTravelGuide fantastic, thank you,
Sorry me again, is there a way to make sure I can get a 09:00am enter time slot?
@@alexgentry1442 Yes if you book your tickets on the website, you can choose the 9am slot. We are heading there next week but had to book tickets quite a few weeks in advance to get the 9am slot.
Every time I check the website only has afternoon or evening times
K...Please talk about getting from London proper out to the HP Studio Tour. Is a bus the only (best) option? When, where and how much? Or what...
Yes please! Can someone explain about the busses. It’s so confusing for some people like me
Hiya! Ok so you get the train from London Euston to Watford Junction. When you are Watford Junction, you can then get the free bus from outside the station to the studio tour.
Alternatively, there are bus tours arranged all the way from London Victoria Bus Station directly to the Studio Tour like this one - bit.ly/458UPD8
Or, you can drive to the Studio Tour, it is just off the M25 and parking is free. There is also plenty of parking too.
Hi lovely can you go to the gift shop before you do the tour? I could only get the 18:30 tour so worrying I won’t get time for the gift shop!
Yes you can go into the gift shop first and they also have smaller shops within the tour too - these are new and specific to the areas. The store tends to stay open a little later that closing time too but just remember the last bus back to the train station is at 10pm
@@CreativeTravelGuide that’s brilliant thank you so much!! Love your video, I’ve never been before so this has been so useful!! X
Where can i book the tickets in advance? Which is a reliable websit?Please can you suggest?
I would book directly on the website or get your guide
Bonjour, je prėvois un jour d'aller aux studio mais seule ce qui m'inquiète c'est de ne pas etre en mesure de pouvoir me prendre en photos correctement avec les decors en arrière plan. Tu penses que si je demande a des étrangers de me prendre en photos, ils accepterons?
They definitely will be able to help you and you can also ask the staff members, they have staff everywhere who know so much about the making of Harry Potter but can also help get you some great pics!
Love this video and all your information we will buy tickets for September 2023 for 10 am thank you
Yay have a great time! We are actually heading back here in July this year so will share an updated video later in the year 😍
Hi, really need help with this. I am planning to book tickets and the website shows 2 options, first standard ticket for £51.50 and another Deluxe ticket for £250. Since there are variety of tickets I am confused which one to book.
I really need that photograph on big hall door.
Is entire studio including door area and everything is covered in £51.50 ticket ?
Whats difference between two?
I am from India, currently living in Ireland and planning a trip to London ONLY for HP studio and filming locations.
I am big HP fan and its ONLY ONCE IN LIFETIME OPPORTUNITY FOR ME.
Please help with this query.
I am planning to book £51.50 ticket but does everything in studio, every part of studio tour is covered in it?
Yes £51.50 covers everything. The £250 is the exact same tour but you have a guide that takes you around in person. We recommend the cheaper tour because you can take your time around it. For the door shot, wait until everyone moves into the great hall, the doors will close and you can head back to get your picture
nice nice
Thank you so much! ❤
You're welcome 😊
Hello, We are arriving in Heathrow Airport at 7:00am and planning to go directly to Harry Potter through Line 724 Bus, I would like to ask if there is luggage storage for 24” suitcase in the studio? Oa do you have any suggestion where can we place our luggages?
Does that bus line go straight there? Planning on doing the same lol
Yes you can leave luggage free of charge if you are taking the tour! The only thing you can't leave is food! Have fun!
Bring a sticker saying something to the effect of "Read Terry Pratchett" and stick it somewhere out of the way.
Jan 2024 butter beer 🍺 is £7. On the map its in Levesdon
I love the butterbeer my sister does not 😝
im going on a friday at 5pm😭
Hope you had a great time!
Only a Muggle would pay £53 each for a entry ticket but a wizard can find a way to go for free without going to Hogwarts or even Harry Potter's wand wouldn't grant you free access. I am going there for completely free including transportation to and from Watford by train. I didn't kill Professor Snape or befriended Dumbledore for this I have done my own wizardry to gain access to Hogwarts 🙂
why are there not faces on the models? i would definitely want to see that handsome Snape's face. and id want to walk up those stairs and sit in a comfortable chair by the fire and sit at the table in the Weasleys kitchen.
'
Yeah I find that weird too but guess it’s meant to be a backstage look
What? It's over priced and does not taste good, but buy it anyway? That's a bad tip. Perhaps if people don't buy it, they might improve it? Bad tip. I'd rather take my 7 quid and buy some other junk in the gift shop....
Haha it has a certain taste to it, I like a few sips but can’t drink the whole thing so always share with my partner!
wands are handed in at the door -- safety hazard ...
You must be joking nearly £400+ £300 plus train fares as I cannot drive for my (three adults and four children) family completely overpriced garbage I will take then to the local park and feed the Ducks just as enjoyable and free and its not even in london.
haha yeah
Cheapskate
