Opening for the first time in Tokyo, the new tour will invite fans to step onto breathtaking sets including the Great Hall at Hogwarts, Diagon Alley and the Forbidden Forest where they will see costumes and come face to face with magical creatures while learning filmmaking secrets.

To mark the occasion, Warner Bros. Studio Tour Tokyo revealed the first of many magical film sets – The Hogwarts Express on Platform 9¾. The Platform 9¾ set was created by the original “Harry Potter” filmmakers using authentic techniques. 

“The Studio Tour is a completely new experience for ‘Harry Potter’ fans in Japan and I’m so excited to open the doors on June 16,” says Torben Jensen, vice president and general manager, Warner Bros.
