Film Trickery Revealed
25th JANUARY – 28th APRIL 2025
Magical Mischief is back, immersing visitors in the filmmaking trickery required to pull off the magical mishaps seen in the Harry Potter film series. Fans will experience O.W.L examinations under Professor Umbridge’s watchful eye in the iconic Great Hall set, complete with the swinging pendulum and paper firing exam desks.
Mischief in the Great Hall
Visitors will encounter the Weasley twins’ pranks throughout the Studio Tour and discover the secrets behind the making of the levitating cake and Harry’s flying acceptance letters. Aspiring wizards can even try their hand at making an origami howler, just like the one delivered to Ron by Mrs Weasley in Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets.
Discover how filmmakers created pandemonium when the Weasley twins disrupted the quiet exams. Both Fred and George will be suspended from the ceiling with bags filled with their latest product, Weasleys’ Wildfire Whiz-bangs – ready to fill the Great Hall with a burst of colour. More of their products will be on display outside their shop Weasleys’ Wizarding Wheezes on Diagon Alley.
Uncover Filmmaking Secrets
Throughout the Studio Tour, visitors will be able to discover the secrets behind the disappearing effect of the Invisibility Cloak and Harry’s flying acceptance letters. As well as trying their hand at making an origami howler just like the one delivered to Ron by Mrs Weasley in Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets.
The previous generation of mischief makers at Hogwarts have not been forgotten and costumes of the four Marauders; Moony, Wormtail, Padfoot and Prongs will be on display at the Studio Tour during the feature. A cage of Cornish Pixies will be released in the Studio Tour and visitors are encouraged to uncover where they have hidden using their activity passports.
