I will visit the world of magic at Harry Potter Studio in Tokyo! Have a good trip! Hey, guys! I’m in Tokyo now. Today I will head to The Making of Harry Potter where we can tour the Harry Potter studio! The location is Nerima Ward, Tokyo.

It is a 2-minute walk from Toshimaen Station on the Seibu Ikebukuro Line/Toshima Line or Toshimaen Station on the Toei Oedo Line. If you go there from Ikebukuro, please use the Seibu Ikebukuro Line/Toshima Line, and if you go there from Shinjuku, please use the Toei Subway Oedo Line.

I arrived in front of the entrance. Oh! It will make me feel great! Enter! These are fees of admission. Please note that admission tickets cannot be purchased on-site. A dragon welcomes us. If you purchased a ticket that includes a digital guide and guidebook, you can receive them here.

Well, let’s go to the studio tour! Hi, Harry! First of all, Harry Potter’s famous scene road. We will find posters of all Harry Potter works here. Which work do you like? People who worked on Harry Potter. Harry Potter would not be existed without these people. Of course, there are also Fantastic Beasts posters.

I will head to the cinema room where videos about Harry Potter and this studio tour will be shown. Skip a little bit because photography is prohibited during the screening! Wow! Entrance to Hogwarts Castle! Professor McGonagall, please move these statues! ! A person was selected from among the visitors to open this door. 3

2 1 Woooow! ! ! ! The great hall has appeared! From here, we can tour freely. There are long tables on both sides, making us feel like we’re eating as a student in the great hall. And there are great professors right in front of me. I’m impressed. . .

This is the production area. We can learn how the buildings that appear in the movie were designed. This is a very small building model. It is made finely, and it seems that it will take quite a while just to make this model. . This is a model of the great hall.

I can feel that the great hall is the result of the designer’s hard work, and it’s even more impressive. . I respect the designers who came up with such wonderful buildings. oh! There is also a model of a moving staircase! Moving stairs are very exciting.

And This is a full-sized moving staircase! ! ! There are also many portraits on the walls! This is an area where we can experience being portraits. The video taken will be shown on the portrait displayed on the wall. Let’s head to the next area. The fat lady!!! She appeared in the Philosopher’s Stone.

The password is “Caput Draconis”. So I came to the Gryffindor common room. Amazing! Every detail is perfectly reproduced!! Oh! We can see Harry and Ron on the second floor wearing the sweaters that Ron’s mother gave them. This is the Gryffindor boys’ dormitory. Many stories were born here too!

I would like to stay here. Slytherin common room. This is a reenactment of a certain scene. Do you know which scene it is? The correct answer is the scene Harry and Ron sneak into the Slytherin common room!

At this time, Harry and Ron used the Polyjuice Potion to transform into Crabbe and Goyle, so they sitting on the sofa are Harry and Ron. By the way, Hermione drank the Polyjuice Potion and turned into a cat. lol Wow! It’s a Quidditch venue! We can experience being Quidditch spectators.

The images taken during the experience will be combined into a Harry Potter scene, making us feel as if we are appearing in the movie. It’s an interesting experience lol These are tools used in Quidditch! Firebolt and Nimbus 2000! I’ve always want a magic broom. What? The tip is shining.

Nimbus 2000 is written! Cool! In Japan, students have time to clean their classrooms, and at that time I was practicing flying on a broomstick.lol In the movie, the golden snitch was kept here. This is the Three Great Magic School. There is also the Triwizard cup!

If you touch the Triwizard cup. . . . It will cause serious problems. . There is a person who cannot be seen on the screen. Madame Maxime! ! She’s too big. Oh! The Death Eater robot that appeared in the Order of the Phoenix! It was used by Dumbledore’s Army to practice magic.

There’s a crowd of people. This is what they’re looking for. It’s the Pensieve! Now let’s take a look at memories. This is Slughorn’s memory. . Dumbledore’s lounge. Although it didn’t appear much in the movie, it is made with great detail and is amazing. Next is the principal’s office.

Oh. . It feels very heavy. . As expected, this is the room of the strongest wizard. This is the history of Dumbledore. There is Dumbledore who appeared in Harry Potter and Dumbledore who appeared in Fantastic Beasts.

Although it’s not really shown in the movie, Dumbledore seems to have owned a lot of astronomy-related items. These are wands! ! ! Whose wand do you like? This is an exhibition of props that appear in movies. Lots of costumes worn by Harry and Hermione!

Oh. . there are Death Eater masks behind me. . We can experience designing a Death Eater mask here. The next area is the Hogwarts classroom area! We can experience what kind of classroom Harry and his friends were taking classes in. Let’s start with the potions classroom!

Amazing! ! There are various materials for potions! ! At each table, Hogwarts students are mixing potions with wands. Professor McGonagall! ! There are many other professor as well. Defense Against the Dark Arts professors. Some of these professors were good, and some were bad. .

By the way, I was moved by Professor Snape’s way of life. This is the classroom used for the Defense Against the Dark Arts class. In the Prisoner of Azkaban, Professor Lupin teaches in this classroom. Oh! Class started! First of all, let’s learn Stupefy. Hold your wand. Stupefy! !

It looks like we used our magic successfully. Next, let’s learn Expelliarmus! Hold your wand. Expelliarmus! ! ! Oh, it’s perfect. ? ? ? ? ? ? The classroom suddenly became dark. . . It’s Death Eater! ! ! ! I’ve never heard of anything like this…

I’ll defeat it with the magic I just learned! ! Stupefy! ! ? ! ! Professor! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! Stupefy! ! Oh! It worked! Next up is Expelliarmus. Expelliarmus! ! ! I’ll send you straight to Azkaban! Wow! ! He leaved. . .

It really felt like I was using magic and it was so much fun! Next is the library. A large amount of books related to magic are stored here. There may be books that are prohibited from being read. . Wow! It’s Voldemort. Nagini is also with him. These are Horcruxes.

There are seven Horcruxes of Voldemort, but six are on display here. And the seventh Horcrux is Harry, right? These are a number of school rules created by Umbridge in the Order of the Phoenix. She was a really unreasonable professor. . Next I will go to the Forbidden Forest.

Can I really come in? There is a dangerous atmosphere. . The forest is very dark and the sounds of beasts echo. It’s a creepy place. . Hey! Hagrid! Speaking of the Forbidden Forest, it’s all about Hagrid! Buckbeak is here with him. Oops. I have to take a bow. Oh! He returned my bow!

If you don’t bow, you’ll end up looking like Malfoy, so be careful. lol The flying car is falling! Are Harry and Ron okay? ? There are also centaurs. We are advised to get out of the forest. Got it. I’ll be out of the forest soon. . What? There’s something in the forest.

It’s a Dementor! ! ! The Dementors are attempting to drain the souls of the tour participants. Let’s run away before our souls are stolen! ! There are also a lot of Dementors here, but wizards are protecting me. Thank you for your help! !

By the way, anyone can participate in this experience, but it may be more enjoyable if you have a wand. As I continued on, I came to a much darker place. There are lots of spider webs. . When I think of the Forbidden Forest and spiders, one character comes to my mind. It’s Aragog!

In the movie, even though he was a Hagrid’s friend, he tried to eat Harry and Ron. lol By the way, in the Half-Blood Prince, Aragog died and Slughorn collected Aragok’s poison, but what happened after that? ? It seems like they won’t let me go home like Harry and Ron.

It is already surrounded by other spiders. . The forest is truly full of danger. It’s amazing to be able to create such a realistic forest atmosphere in the studio. Oh! The light is now in sight! From here, it’s the outside exhibition area! There is Hagrid’s hut. Lots of pumpkins.

Moss grows on the outer wall of the hut, making it look very realistic. What’s on this side? We can see inside the hut! Hagrid and Fang. Although Hagrid is huge, he lives in a very small place. lol There is a stuffed animal on his bed. lol I could know Hagrid’s cute side.

There was another flying car. We can ride inside the car. It’s a Butterbeer bar! ! I’ll take a short break here. Butterbeer is flowing in the pipe! This is the menu. There were various drinks, but I will order Butterbeer! This is real butterbeer. These are the prices of Butterbeer.

We can also take the cup home with us, so the price is a little high. Okay! I will try to drink! It tastes like butter! The foam is made of cream, making it a very sweet drink. When we finish drinking, wash the cup and take it home.

By the way, we also receive a bag to put the cup in. After the break, the second part starts! Let’s start from here. This bridge, which has appeared several times in the movies, is Hogwarts Bridge. This is the bridge destroyed by Neville in the Deathly Hallows.

Wow! It feels like we’re Hogwarts students walking around the school! The inside looks twist. This is the view from the other side. When we get off Hogwarts Bridge, there is a large chess table. The Philosopher’s Stone was protected by these chess players. Wow! It’s huge!

In the movie, it attacks with the sword it holds. It would be really scary if these things actually started to move. lol This is the Dursley’s house. It is located at number 4, Pribet Drive. Let’s go inside the house! There is a little old man in the garden.

The Dursley’s house is a very popular place, so it’s crowded. First, famous scenes from the Dursley’s house greet us. The scenes at the Dursley’s house are essential to the Harry Potter films! The first step is too high! ! lol We can’t go to the second floor.

Ooh! This is the most famous room under the stairs. It’s Harry’s room! It seems very hard to sleep. . I came to the kitchen. I’m feeling the sense of life. It looks like someone really lives there! There was even a half-eaten meal. lol

This meal is the same one as in a certain scene. And the scene is when Aunt Marge gets inflated! Harry turns Aunt Marge into a balloon. lol Dudley is busted. There are even family photos. Oh! This is also one of the famous scenes! A large number of admission notices arrive.

Well, it was fun! What can we see next? Next is this purple bus. It’s the Knight Bus! The Knight Bus mark is reminiscent of London. The Knight Bus was a bus that Harry happened to call, and Harry rode on this bus to the Leaky Cauldron. The interior is exactly same!!

The chandelier is also swinging. Even the bus instructions are written there. . I would like to ride this bus with a diamond ticket! From here, go back indoors. Oh! The fact that there is a trunk case means that this is the place, right? Kings Cross Station! ! Oh oh! ! !

It’s the Hogwarts Express! Smoke is coming out of the chimney and it looks like it’s really moving. Platform 9 and 3/4. There is also a wall here that connects to Platform 9 and 3/4. Will you be able to get through? ? There is also a souvenir shop at the station.

There are various Harry Potter goods on sale! Trunk cases are displayed at the top of the shelf, and we can feel the world of Harry Potter here as well. We can ride on the Hogwarts Express, so let’s go! This train is the train heading to Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.

It makes us feel the beginning of the story. It feels like I’m about to head to Hogwarts. I rode inside. Oh! There are passenger rooms! Harry and Ron are on this train! There are lots of sweets that Harry bought. Malfoy!! There’s a flying car outside! Harry and Ron missed the train. lol

Ginny is here. If we have a good timing, we can even see flying cars here. Here We can see Harry, Ron and Harmione who have grown up a little. This is the scene they are talking about Malfoy. Hello, Luna! How are you doing? ? Professor Lupine is here.

In the movie, he saved Harry from being attacked by Dementors. Dementors are flying around. . Let’s escape before the train gets on board! ! This is the inside of the train to Berlin that appears in Fantastic Beasts.

I was surprised to learn that there are other trains in the wizarding world besides the Hogwarts Express. A delicious sandwich tower. This is the end of our fun train journey. Let’s move on to the next area! This is the exhibition area for large props. There are lots of great large props!

Producing props is a very detailed process. I can feel the professional spirit of the creator in the detailed production like these. By the way, it seems that the props that are no longer in use will be dismantled. . The next area is exclusive to Japan! It’s the Ministry of Magic! !

The Ministry of Magic is the political institution of the wizarding world featured in Harry Potter and Fantastic Beasts. Wizards are coming to the Ministry of Magic one after another. Harry infiltrate the Ministry of Magic in disguise. At this time, Harry went to the Ministry of Magic from the bathroom.

This is a shop located in the Ministry of Magic. At the time of filming, real sweets were lined up at this shop, and Daniel Radcliffe, who plays Harry, was often snacking on them.lol Newt, Umbridge, and others who are deeply involved in the Ministry of Magic were also there.

And when I came here, I have something I have to do. It’s a imitation of Voldemort at the Ministry of Magic…lol Creatures are here to welcome us. Creature production room. Wow! It’s Hagrid’s head! The face is able to be moved with the controller. This is Mandrake.

There is also the Monster Book of Monsters. It’s a textbook that seems tiring just to carry around.lol There are various other creatures on display as well. And creatures remind me of house elves! House elves that appeared in both Harry Potter and Fantastic Beasts are creatures that is extremely loyal to its master.

Dobby helped Harry in many scenes. Dobby is free! ! ! This is an area where we can learn how the creatures that appeared in Fantastic Beasts were born. Since Newt is a biologist, various creatures appear in the movie. Which creature do you like? ?

It seems that creatures are produced in a very long process from design to synthesis into the movie. This is the process of making Niffler. I’m surprised designers even thought about bones and muscles. . I came to some kind of green space. Oh! It’s Bowtruckle! This is the home of Bowtruckle!

Wow. There are a lot of magical brooms. This is an experience area where we can ride a magic broom. We can create videos that look like they are flying through a city. I came to an area with a slightly different atmosphere. This is a sound effects studio. Sound is 85% of a film.

This is a famous quote that emphasizes the importance of sound in movies. Here, tools related to sound are displayed. Tools that create footsteps. By using a variety of tools, sounds that best suits the video are created . This is a recording studio. There are so many knobs! !

I wonder how long it will take to remember the meanings of all the knobs. . The tour is coming to an end, but I wonder what the next area will be like. Ooooh! ! ! This is Diagon Alley! !

It is an indispensable place for wizards and witches in the shopping district of the wizarding world. The reproducibility is too high. . . This is Ollivander’s store. Many wizards and witches purchased their wands from this shop. There are lots of wands in the store!

There are also shops related to astronomy and an ice cream shop. The bookstore even has Lockhart’s books. lol Are you playing tricks today too? ? This is Fred and George’s shop. There’s a Puking Pastille inside. lol This town is so awesome! ! Unfortunately, this is the last area.

Hogwarts castle model! ! ! ! This is also finely produced and is fit for the end. . So that’s the end of the tour. It was a truly wonderful place. I hope this video helps you on your journey. Thank you for your watching. I will continue to post many videos about Japan.
