Today Warner Bros. Studio Tour London: The Making of Harry Potter announced a new element to its very popular tour.
Beginning tomorrow, August 31, visitors will be able to walk across an actual bridge used by cast members in the films.
The bridge, pictured above, was first built for Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban when director Alfonson Cuaron wanted something to connect Hogwarts with Hagrid’s Hut. The bridge then appeared in many films thereafter, like in Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows – Part 2 when Neville taunts Voldemort’s Death Eaters.
The section of the bridge on the Studio Tour was the only part built to scale. “The rest was either built in miniature as part of the Hogwarts model or recreated through CGI (Computer Generated Imagery),” writes Warner Bros.
Their press release also noted that three more broom rigs will be added to the broomstick experience to help fulfill demand.
The Making of Harry Potter opened in March and has been a huge hit with Potter fans. You can purchase tickets at this link. A photo accompanied today’s announcement depicting fans on the bridge:
