Warner Bros. Studio Tour Tokyo – The Making of Harry Potter reveals three of the most iconic sets from the films ahead of opening to the public on the 16 June – the Great Hall, Diagon Alley, and for the first time the full-scale, spellbinding Ministry of Magic set.
Exclusive to Tokyo, visitors will be able to step inside the Ministry of Magic, and experience one of the largest sets created for the Harry Potter film series spanning over 900sq m with 30ft tall walls, all carefully constructed by the hands of talented filmmakers.
With the design inspired by Victorian architecture and covered with thousands of green and red tiles, this set was so intricate to create that the hours needed to build one of this size and complexity would take a single person working non-stop over twenty years to complete.
Fans will witness the set dressed for its appearance in Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows – Part One when Harry, Ron and Hermione take on the identities of Ministry workers in order to break in. And just like a Ministry of Magic employee commuting to work via the Floo Network, visitors can step into one of the enormous fireplaces each standing over nine feet tall and pose for photos and videos as smoke and lighting effects mimic the magical cloud of Floo powder all around them.
Torben Jensen, VP and GM, Warner Bros. Studio Tour Tokyo – The Making of Harry Potter said: “We’re so excited to reveal our first exclusive set, the Ministry of Magic. Warner Bros. Studio Tour Tokyo will be the only place in the world where fans can step foot into the full-scale set just as Harry, Ron and Hermione would have done.”
