Studio Tour Casts Spells Just Like Harry

By Sarah Lyall, March 29, 2012, The NY Times


The most popular place in Europe now is London, and it is the Warner Brothers Studio Tour of the "Harry Potter" set. All the props and scenery is there, the costumes and dolls, the monsters and magic. The model of Hogwarts Castle is right there for all to see. The tour is mostly self guided, and completely worth it. You walk through the sets of the Gryffindor boy's dorm filled with posters and suitcases. Even the three-decker Knight Bus that was used in the third movie was right there in the studio. There is also a short movie with the main stars, talking about their childhood and their lives on screen.
This is newsworthy because it allows such great fans, of the books and of the movie industry in general. People get to walk through the Hogwarts Great Hall and learn about how everything was made and what is really behind all the magic. It is a fantastic idea to let the people in the studios.

How much money does it take to build all of these sets and keep them?
