Here you can go outside and see some spectacular outdoor constructions like, No 4 Privet Drive, the Knight Bus, the Hogwarts Bridge and the ginormous chess pieces from Ron's famous game of Wizard's Chess. Your final stops look at the production that go into the making of the films. In the creature workshop you can find a Basilisk head as well as fan favourite Dobby.
