Top Tip - If you stay by the exit of the great hall you get let back in once the next tour is making their way in. They allow this and means you can take longer to look around and take pictures
I have been to Harry Potter world at universal studios in California and it was absolutely insane! The tour in London is on my bucket list for sure. Great video.
Thanks JY!! We did HP at Universal first and we totally took it for granted!! The Studio Tour is amazing but it’s really cool at Universal how it’s all like a real street and the Hogwarts castle is impressive! Still try to get to the Studio Tour though!!
Ok, this might sound weird, but your little boy has great speech for such a young kid. I mean very fluent and clear, articulate voice. He sounds very mature for his own age. And I loved seeing how everybody enjoyed themselves! Such a nice family. Other than that I really love that this video actually includes tips as promised in the title (like "take the left door among the three to get to the first row"), not just some general recommendations as is usual with "tips and tricks" videos. Anyway, great video, loved it very much.
Thanks for the lovely comments. We had such a fun time there and we love sharing our top tips with everyone. I'm so pleased that you enjoyed watching it, too!
That must've been amazing!!! The broomstick green screen is one of the best bits because EVERYONE is dressed up!! I hope our video brought back some memories for you!!
Ahhh, thanks Jennifer!!!! That's really kind of you to message us and let us know. We try our best for every video!!! Hopefully, we've snagged you as a new subscriber and you enjoy our future videos too. Thanks again!!
Ha ha! Sammy refused to go in too!!! My son was in Year Two when we filmed this video...he would only go in with me!!! It's not as scary when they tell you that the spider hairs are just made from coconut hair!!
Yay - glad you found it helpful!! Only a few more weeks to go and you’ll be there!! Our kids still talk about it - and so do we!! Have an amazing time!! 🦉👨🎓🧙♀️
It’s so much different now well the entrance is and there’s a few new parts oh and the shop is bigger ! I’ve been there 4 times now and it’s interesting to see how it’s changed over the years! I’ve filmed all 4 of my trips I can’t wait to go again next year 💕
Hi! Life of Reilly. I like your video of Harry Potter, I am a big fan of Harry Potter. I have been in London, UK back in September,8th-18,2017 I didn't get to see Harry Potter tour, I got to see in London, UK Street where Harry Potter was filmed not in studio, Harry Potter Shop Platform 9 3/4 I didn't get to see at all, I hope hopping come back to London, UK. It looks like lots of at Harry Potter Studio, also at Harry Potter Shop Platform 9 3/4. You do have Brilliant family.
Thanks for your lovely message Jayson!!! We had great fun making this video!! We hope you get to come to London again soon, there are so many places for Muggles to go!!!
Thank you very much for this! I’m going soon in late Nov 😁 It will be during “Christmas at Hogwarts”, i’m so excited! My first time to London & studio tour 😍
Excellent video. I really enjoy your narration guiding us throughout the tour. As always your kids are adorable and looks like they had tons of fun! Congrats on your upcoming third child! I have three kids as well and having three kids is fun! :) Question: I will be visiting London with my family (total of 7 including in laws) for two days in June. Do you have any recommendations for lodging around Heathrow airport or around London? We plan to ride a hop on and off double decker tour bus around for two days to sight see London before taking the train to Paris and then to Barcelona for an Italy and Greece cruise. Thanks for any London tips! Cheers! 😎
Thanks Bruce - I always love reading your messages!! Thanks for the baby congrats, too!! That was my secret other reason for being so slow with editing since returning from California!! Happy to help with some London tips!! Lodgings all depend on budget, as normal. You can get some AMAZING deals for Central London via lastminute.com. Premier Inn's are great value around the country, waay better than a Super 8 but that kind of cheaper than Hilton/Holiday Inn level that you might not have heard of. Feel free to email via the website/FB page and I can answer any other questions. Cheers!!
I'm so excited for my tour in August with my mum which is a birthday treat, I'm mainly looking forward to the forbidden forest because of buckbeak and Aragog :)
So great that you had a good time - thanks for letting us know!!! Yeah, I know how you feel!! It's not until you get home and see your photos that you realise that you want to do it all over again!!
It's a fantastic place. It has been a while since I have been, so this has been really useful for a refresh of my mind! When I first went, I had no idea that the door would be revealed. I cried. This was really great, thank you!
Hi James, thanks for the message!! We thought the big reveal was AMAZING too - really well done!! Hopefully, you’ve got another trip planned but if not, we hope our video helps!! All the best! 👍
@@LifeOfReillyTV Mum and I learned it our first visit :O The guy running the queue told us. Our time was 4pm *We traveled from Scotland* And we got there at half 2 and all they do is scan your ticket. Gave us loads more time!
Been there 4 times hopefully 5 soon and I once went on a school trip there too and we got special access and because I was the only one in the class who liked Harry Potter I got to hold Hagrids trousers from the film
Life of Reilly I have sewed only shorts and shirt. The shirt sleeves were too short but maybe i can do my third project better. And ofcourse i need all materials to do that. I want to do Luna’s glasses and earrings too. But maybe my mom will help me with all my diys. She does grafts for her work and they’re awesome. She makes jewelry, clothes by knitting and crochetting. I found two amazing tutorials to make robe and quidditch robe too!
Life of Reilly Here are the links to two videos i found. First one is school robe and second one is quidditch robe. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-tlyF80cWPro.html ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-5PKy2rFxmXA.html
IF YOU ARE HAVING A PARTY/GOING WITH KIDS: 1. Bring your own food 2. Get tickets for 12.30ish as getting food can be difficult 3. Use shop after as taking purchases around the tour is a pain. 4. Ask for a kids passport in the lobby 5. Only bring what you can carry. I have been to they tour 7 times and know what I am on about
These are all of the indoor sets, plus a few that you might think were on location but weren't, for example, the houses in Privet Drive are on the set here (although I think they used a real house in the first film). Diagon Alley is here but might look like a real location. It's great fun!!
That's great to hear, thanks Danielle!!!!! I think the guided tour part was around 15 mins but don't quite me on that!!! It goes quickly but you don't feel completely rushed! Have fun!!!
I'll be in the UK this Christmas (fingers crossed) to visit family, and I would love to visit whilst in the area. I live in Salem, Massachusetts, so we are all about witches, magic and all here. Thanks for the video.
Thanks for the message! You'll love it, Adele!!! It's really fun and it feels like you're in a piece of movie history. We hope you get to come and visit...we're hoping to visit family in the USA this year. I'm sure your family will show you around London properly, but here's our video to get you excited: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-QOvcrxYDCbo.html
@@LifeOfReillyTV been to the UK many, many times since a kid, but never at Christmas. I’ll be in Berkshire, so this is not far to travel. Wanted to go the last couple of times I’ve been over (summer) and was booked solid. Guess I’ll buy tickets ‘way in advance this time.
Ahh, cool. You’ll love Christmas over here. Alicia loves our traditions and the feel of Christmas over here. We’re pretty much in Berkshire too, funny!! Book now and don’t miss out on Harry and the gang this time!! ⚡️⚡️
Thanks for the kind message. I think it's quite expensive. They can do the ride for free but to buy the video the package is around £40, including some photos. Have a great time!!
Hi Ines, we got the cheapest family tickets so we didn’t get the extra souvenir book but I don’t think we didn’t miss out on anything during the tour. Hope that helps!
Hi Caithleen, we booked through the official website. All of the tickets include the tour - it's just whether you want to upgrade to the gift packs. I think you'll have a fab time with the cheapest one!! ;-)
I guess this tour includes Warner Bros. Studio ? Not only "Harry Potter Film Locations Guided Tour"? Let me know if you can because I plan to visit it soon, I'm not sure which ticket should i pick with my friends.
If it’s your only chance to go, go for it. The good news is that you’ll have parts of the studios to yourselves as most people will have gone home. Instead of sharing it with a thousand people (main areas) you’ll probably have it to a few hundred. Another tip is to arrive an hour or so early as they might let you through, if there’s room. If not, you can spend that hour in the shop rather than rushing to do it after. Hope that helps!
I went in 2019 and if you want to go round again after u leave you can ask and maybe they will let u in like me and I am going again on 30th of November 2021
Yes, loads of kids wear robes. Everyone is so into their visit - and it’s all so magical. No-one would bat an eyelid if you dressed as a hippogriff!! Enjoy your visit. You’ll love it!!
@@LifeOfReillyTV thank you!! i was just a bit self conscious about wearing one 😅 i’m so glad that i saw your video. it seems like so much fun. ill make sure to dress up as a hippogriff 😂🤣
Hi Kayley, thanks for the message, so glad you enjoyed the video!! We had a blast on the normal tour and didn’t even use the free audio guide, which you’d want to use without kids. The Deluxe tour looks great, especially as you can go back in to get any photos you missed but is all depends on money £225 v £41. Hope that helps!
Hi I’ve actually been to HP studios n it was the best day of my life But EXPENSIVE! I did buy a good amount of merch too, but it adds up a lot In general, ANY money-saving tips at the studio, and for HP merch? Plz lemme know
It is SO MUCH fun!! Our money-saving tips were: bring some merch with you so you don’t have to buy loads, take sneaky photos of you on the green screen rides, buy one butter beer/sweets and all share (as it’s so sweet) and bring your own snacks!! Are you going again?
@@LifeOfReillyTV I will definitely go again on my next trip to London I NEED to go again I will be going alone this time around, and trust me, I have a sweet tooth, I finished the whole mug of butterbeer lol I actually will be buying merch, I’m an international tourist so I can’t buy merch in advance. Do uk of ANY ways to save money on merch itself? Any suggestions or cheap steals, best buys, value products? N how can I take sneaky green screen rides lol? The last time I went, there were employees EVERYWHERE there Didn’t know we cud bring our own snacks wow! Lemme know! Thxxx
I think you can bring your own lunch even!! Cheap merch is available at Primark in the UK. It’s got a deal with HP. We got the kids outfits from eBay though, I think!! Ha ha. Have an amazing time!!!! 🪄🪄🧙♀️🧙♀️⚡️⚡️
Hii, my friend and i were looking for tickets on a saturday, but the only available times are at 5PM. Is it enough time, or is the entry too late to explore everything? And we were thinking of travelling via train cause it's cheaper than the bus transfer. Do you think we can get safely back to London after 10PM or when does the bus shuttle leave for the last time to the station? Sorry for these random questions, but i couldn't really find helpful answers on Google..
Hey Christin, the last shuttle is at 10pm which is when the tour closes. If you started your tour at 5pm, I think four hours is plenty of time to get around. Also, turn up an hour earlier as they might let you go in an hour or 45mins early.
1:32 I am travelling with my parents. So I did 3 in quantity of “Adult” you show here. Should I also tick “Studio Tour Package” quantity to 3, which just below on the screen you are showing. What significance does it hold?
Hi Vaibhav, sorry, I’ve just seen this. I think the extra package gets you a commemorative brochure and a few other things. I didn’t think it was worth it but you might. Have fun!!
Glad you liked it Chloe!! Thanks for finding the video and taking the time to message!! You probably already knew all of the tricks we spoke about but hope they help others too!!
We got the normal tickets from the Warner Bros website. We didn't think it was worth upgrading for the book etc. The tour is no different. Hope that helps!
