Harry Potter filming locations

Article from December 2023 with 14 places

Leavesden, a small village in Hertfordshire, is home to the Warner Bros. Studios, where much of the beloved series was filmed.

Here, the Great Hall of Hogwarts was brought to life, a set that remained intact throughout all eight films. The towering structure of the Hogwarts castle, which appears vast and expansive on screen, was actually a meticulously detailed miniature model housed in Leavesden.

The studio also served as the backdrop for the Dursleys' Privet Drive home. The exterior shots of number 4, Privet Drive, where Harry spent his childhood, were filmed on location in Bracknell. However, the interior scenes were shot in Leavesden.
