LONDON WITH CHILDREN - London 2015 - page 678

• Harry Potter fans (and Muggle parents) enjoy visiting places in London where scenes
from the movies were filmed (see here ) —or, better yet, visit the actual sets at the studio
where the movie magic was made (see “The Making of Harry Potter,” later in this
chapter).
