The Making Of Harry Potter Studio Tour, Warner Bros. Studios, Leavesden, London, England, United Kingdom
|
On 21 March 2010, there was a fire on the Hogwarts set for Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows – Part 2 at Leavesden Studios; much of the set was badly burnt.
In 2010, Warner Bros. announced their intention to purchase the studio as a permanent European base, the first studio to do so since Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer in the 1940s.
In November 2010, Warner Bros. completed its purchase of Leavesden Studios, and announced plans to invest more than £100m on the site that they frequently occupied. The studios will make Warner Bros. the only Hollywood film studio with a permanent base in the UK. They also plan to create a permanent exhibition to the Harry Potter series in turn creating 300 jobs. A full scale refurbishment and re-build is currently underway and the production facilities are due to reopen to film and television work in 2012.
