\n Harry Potter Warner Bros Studio is a fan favourite attraction since its opening in 2012, welcoming wizarding fans from all over the world. From walking through the iconic Great Hall doors, past potions class and wandering into the Forbidden Forest to sampling butterbeer and butterbeer ice cream – the Studios is a haven for all Harry Potter fans.<\/p>\n

And it just keeps giving… We’ve just heard that there are plans to expand the Studios to feature an 11-metre-high structure! With no windows, steel doors and shutters, it’s set to replicate the look of the current studios. Not only that but there will also be low-level and tiered seating, with cinema screens showcasing a short audio-visual show.<\/p>\n
