"From a first-time appearance of the Divination classroom to surprise Boggarts and the Monster Book of Monsters, the Studio Tour is celebrating 20 years of Prisoner of Azkaban in the most fantastic of ways this summer - with plenty of new additions to look forward to.
Warner Bros. Studio Tour London is inviting us all to "Return to Azkaban" from 1st May, promising a fresh selection of props, costumes and sets all dedicated to the beloved third instalment of the Harry Potter series.
The biggest addition will be a first-time instalment of Professor Trelawney's Divination classroom, complete with velvet pouffes, patterned rugs and a tower made of 500 vintage teacups. (Well, we know Sybill loves her tea leaves!)
Beyond the Divination classroom, fans will be able to discover the interior of the famous triple-decker Knight Bus, as a full cross-section of the set will be displayed. Be amazed at the Knight Bus in action as the set rattles the beds, just as they did when bus driver Ernie made his bumpy ride with Harry through London.
Of course, the third Harry Potter story also gave us our favourite Defence Against the Dark Arts professor (not that it was a tough contest) in Professor Lupin. To pay homage, the Studio Tour will reveal a new section of the Defence Against the Dark Arts classroom on display, complete with the Art Nouveau-style Boggart wardrobe and that sinister Boggart jack-in-the-box. We hope you've been practising "Riddikulus"!

Other highlights of Return to Azkaban include stepping foot into the magnificent Great Hall under an enchanted ceiling filled with over 100 floating candles, before being regaled by the Hogwarts Frog Choir and seeing The Monster Book of Monsters go on a rampage in Harry’s room at the Leaky Cauldron. Sounds like a perfect day out!
New for 2024, Return to Azkaban will run from 1st May – 4th September and all new features are included in the ticket price. Check the official website for all the details you need and to book your tickets.
It looks fun. PoA is my favourite film of the lot.
It is one of my favourites as well. The third movie does mark the start of them cutting plot points for the sake of time, but Cuarón's cinematography was absolutely stunning. I just wish we had gotten more. Perhaps with the new series we may.
