The Making Of Harry Potter Studio Tour, Warner Bros. Studios, Leavesden, London, England, United Kingdom

One of the more noticeable outdoor sets constructed at Leavesden is a row of 10 houses (5 per side) along a street which was created as "Privet Drive" for the Harry Potter film series. As of May 2011, this set is still visible on the Google Maps aerial view of the area.
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.
