Diagon Alley: Warner Bros. Studio Tour Tokyo – The Making of Harry Potter

Explore the Wizarding World’s most memorable shopping street

When Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone initially entered theaters across the globe, Diagon Alley served as watchers’ first look into the magical Wizarding World.

The cobblestone street lined with old-timey storefronts and unique wares is one of the franchise’s most celebrated sets. From cauldrons to quills to capes to broomsticks, Diagon Alley is stocked with everything a witch or wizard might need.

Originally created for Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone, the Diagon Alley set appeared in almost all eight movies and was reused as Hogsmeade in the third installment.

Each storefront was painstakingly crafted by the movies’ original set and prop designers and showcases their unparalleled attention to detail—from aged stonework to hand blown glass bottles to hand-painted signage.

The set is a perfect place to experience the magic of both the movies and Harry Potter!
