| | | Harry Potter Leavesden tour pre-tickets sales begin October 13, live Empire coverage
Warner Bros released new information on their Studio Tour London – The Making of Harry Potter at Leavesden in the U.K., set to open to the world in Spring 2012, at the Empire BIG SCREEN event on Sunday afternoon, including when fans can pre-book tickets: October 13, 2011. SnitchSeeker was at the live chat with Warwick Davis, Evanna Lynch, make-up supervisor Nick Dudman, and Davis' wife Sam, who was covered in goblin prosthetic as part of the presentation. For those keeping an eye on SnitchSeeker's Twitter, live coverage of the event took place, and highlights can be read here. Tickets for the Harry Potter tour are priced at £28 for adults and £21 for children.
Warner Bros also released a grand-scale image of Leavesden Studios - once home of the Harry Potter films' production - which will now be a film studio and museum tour for the movie series. That can be seen in very high-resolution in our galleries. SnitchSeeker (Twitter)
• 150,000 square feet; the equivalent of 3 football pitches.
• @WarwickADavis: it's like working on a soap opera. @WarwickADavis recalls his first great hall scerne and marvelling at the acting talent around him.
• Prosthetics for goblins are lined up on the stage including Griphook and Luna's lion hat. Nick Dudman, from the make-up department, is on stage for a demonstration. A goblin from Gringotts in full make-up, otherwise known as Sam, just came on. She's @WarwickADavis' wife. Goblin prosthetics on set only last a day. 38 goblins for the Gringotts scene in DH2. That's a lot of make-up!
• The tour will include a creature shop with models including ones that move, featuring Fawkes, Buckbeak, Aragog and more.
• @WarwickADavis: it's great all the work from 10 years is being stored because that means I don't get thrown in a skip!
• @Evy_Lynch: She recalls her screen test with Dan: thinking "omg, Harry Potter's right there!"
• "You can't choreograph Lovegood dancing!" @Evy_Lynch demonstrates the Wrackspurt dance she created with Rhys Ifans, her on screen dad. Yates said someone has to dancing embarassingly at the Weasley wedding, so she nominated the Lovegoods.
• Book them at WBStudioTour.co.uk from October 13th 2011. You cannot just turn up, you have to pre-book tickets.
The full press release, with quotes from Daniel Radcliffe and Rupert Grint from the preview trailer, can be seen here. Please note that video of the interview with cast and crew from Sunday, and photos, are promised to be released in the coming days; we will have those as soon as they are made available online.

“It was such a magical place to grow up,” says Daniel Radcliffe. “People will be amazed to see the incredible environment we’ve worked in all these years.”
Rupert Grint adds, “The sets all have tiny little details that you may not always notice in the films but when you actually walk through them, you can see all the work that's gone into it. It’s really amazing.”

This looks amazing! I can't wait to be back in England so I can go.
Maybe I can go for the Summer Olympics and head to Leavesden too!
