THE NEW FEATURE – OPENING 15/05/2026 – HONOURS THE 20TH ANNIVERSARY OF THE CINEMATIC RELEASE OF HARRY POTTER AND THE GOBLET OF FIRE
Celebrity fans and their families including Michael McIntyre, Roman Kemp and Made in Chelsea stars Tristan Phipps and Julia Pollard came together at Warner Bros. Studio Tour London – The Making of Harry Potter to mark the start of a major new feature – ‘Triwizard Tournament – Making of Champions’ – revealing the behind-the-scenes filmmaking secrets and skill behind the iconic Harry Potter and The Goblet of Fire film installment.
To kick off the celebrations, Michael McIntyre, Roman Kemp and English Women’s Rugby star Maud Muir were dazzled upon arrival by theatrical Beauxbaton and Durmstrang demonstrations – reenacting their iconic entry to the Great Hall at Hogwarts, before bravely approaching the Goblet of Fire in all its glory to submit their names just like the courageous champions seen in the fourth film.
Comedian Henry Rowley was wowed by the delights of the new dedicated Backlot Stage, uncovering impressive special effects secrets, from the creation of the Hungarian Horntail dragon, to understanding how Harry Potter held his breath for so long underwater.

Michael McIntyre and Roman Kemp took in all the splendour of the Great Hall with the welcome addition of Mad Eye Moody and wizarding journalist Rita Skeeter, best known for her poison pen articles. Elsewhere, Maud Muir took her daring journey through the Forbidden Forest which now recreates the all-important moment when Hagrid reveals the first Triwizard Tournament task to Harry Potter.
The ‘Triwizard Tournament – Making of Champions’ feature runs from 15th May – 8th September and gives access to the Backlot Stage for the first time ever. The dedicated indoor space comprises a digital screen, stage and tiered seating, and offers visitors the opportunity to discover how filmmakers brought the action-packed scenes from the Triwizard Tournament to life. All new additions are included in the ticket price.

The milestone 20th anniversary of the film and the launch of the new feature has been commemorated with month-long celebrations. Onlookers in the capital were left spellbound earlier this week, as a ‘captured’ 25 foot-long Hungarian Horntail dragon travelled through the streets of London before returning safely to its rightful home at the Studio Tour. The huge animatronic dragon, which weighs 1.3 tonnes, brought to life the fan favourite, nail-biting scene where Harry Potter’s Hungarian Horntail breaks free of its chains during the first task, and will also embark on a tour across the UK throughout May.
Tickets to Warner Bros. Studio Tour – The Making of Harry Potter, must be pre-booked, with all extra features included in the ticket price. All tickets can be purchased from: www.wbstudiotour.co.uk.
