To keep the Muggles happy, most of the costumes and sets are at the start of the tour. Although equally impressive, the second stage is much more focused around architecture & concept design.
Totally worth every penny for all HP fans. There's butterbeer available but I personally think a person to a cup is too much.. If you can, share a cup with your friends!
If you're a big Harry Potter fan then it's absolutely worth the visit. You'd get to experience a bit of what they have done the entire series but truly, it's magical :)
Very informative staff to tell you all about the filmmaking process. Lots of behind the scenes into special and visual effects and the props. We stayed from 1530 till closing at 1940 (last bus).
Pack your own food cause there is not much choices and I've seen a lot of people throwing away their butterbeer, if you think you can't handle the taste, it's better to share. But it taste good fyi :)
A-ma-zing! Absolute must-visit, whether you're HP fan or not. You can experience Quiddich and buy a photo and/or DvD afterwards. Photo is £12, photo and dvd is £40 (!), which is a bit of a joke.
Look out for the "Evil" Ron Weasley doll hidden in Diagon Alley. Was originally used in "Order of the Phoenix" but was deleted from it as they thought it would scare children. Worth finding it!

No wonder Ron couldn't afford sweets from the cart on the Hogwarts Express - £7.95 for a chocolate frog! Otherwise was a great experience. Highly recommend!
Make sure you get an extra passport for yourself, not just the kids! Stamps are fun to look at later. Or maybe give away to a Harry Potter Fan back home!
Went on a Monday afternoon and no crowds. Really nice to take the time to wander through without too much hassle! If you can, I'd recommend a mid-week visit ;-)
When traveling by train keep in mind that there are multiple routes to Watford Junction. Some stop at several stations, taking longer, while others only stop at a few stations, taking less time.
They finally warn you about the alternate route in the forbidden forest without spiders but still nothing for the giant model of Aragog which is out in the open and is terrifying.
Step on to authentic sets, discover the magic behind spellbinding special effects and explore the behind-the-scenes secrets of the Harry Potter film series.
