Harry Potter studios to open for public sightseeing

Harry Potter studios are soon to be launched at a former aerodrome near London and the time for the studios to open-up on March 31 for public viewing of the whole studio setup which includes sheds and sound stages. The studio holds a great history of the epic series of Harry Potter’s eight films shooting done over here which were shot over a long course of over a decade and soon the sight will be the home to the official “Making of Harry Potter” studio tour.

 When the project will be completed, the Warner Bros are hoping for the launch to be charismatic and the reflection of it was seen when the advance tickets went on sale Thursday. Warner Bros remarked the heavy traffic for online booking became the problem for the errors in booking the tickets at the official website.

With a time period of more than five months for the launch, the Hardhats are busy in laying the flagstone floor of the great hall at the Hogwarts school of Witchcraft and Wizardry. Gothic arches, gargoyles and huge fireplace though incomplete, are an impressive sight to view.

Illusion apart, the creators of the project are urging to stress the authenticity. A huge area of 150,000-square-foot site will be including only authentic sets, costumes and props on the original site of the studio which is about 20 miles northwest of London.

The 24-year-old actor Tom Felton seen in the Harry Potter series as a rival of Harry stated “I remember the first time I went in there – it was on camera. (Director) Chris Columbus specifically didn’t want us to see it before filming, because we were only 11-year-old kids. So, our reaction when we walked in there was pretty much genuine.

The centrepiece of the tour will include the great hall where all the students of the Hogwarts sat and dined and were divided into houses by the mysterious recognition of their distinct Hats.  The cupboard will be a part of the re-erected sets where Harry was forced to sleep by his miserly relatives and will also include the Hogwarts’ classrooms, common room, a dormitory, imposing Ministry of Magic and headmaster Albus Dumbledore’s book-lined office.

Two soundstages will be installed named Stages J and K, nonetheless an accidental tribute to the writer and creator of Harry Potter novel and series.

A whole new era of magical extravaganza is coming over for the fans across the world by the originators and figureheads of Harry Potter series which seems to be throwing a new trend of sightseeing of exquisite and epic cinema experience.
