Fans of Harry Potter have been returning to the wizarding world as the Warner Bros Studio Tour London reopened its doors today.

The Harry Potter studio tour in Leavesden closed back in March due to the coronavirus lockdown, but muggles have been keen to step back into the world of magic after five long months away.

And fans have been in for another treat following the reopening, with visitors able to take part in the new Celebration of Slytherin feature.

For the first time ever, fans will be able to walk through the Great Hall decorated in Slytherin colours before seeing the Slytherin Common Room up close.

This includes visitors aged 11 and up being required to wear a face mask or covering for the duration of their visit, while additional signage and floor markings will be in place to promote social distancing and allow visitors to navigate the Studio Tour safely.

Some areas of the Studio Tour may be unavailable to limit contact and maintain social distancing – and it will also be running at a reduced capacity for the time being.

Enhanced cleaning will also take place during the day and hand sanitiser stations are also available to use.

Geoff Spooner, SVP & General Manager, Warner Bros. Studio Tour London says: “We’re thrilled to be able to open the doors to the Hogwarts Great Hall to visitors once again.

"While the Studio Tour experience may differ from previous visits as we introduce additional safety measures , we’re looking forward to welcoming fans back into the world of Harry Potter for a truly magical day out.”
