First, let’s talk about what’s new. The tour now offers a hands-on way to explore the world of Harry Potter. Instead of just looking, you can actually touch famous objects from the films. For example, you can feel the wands of Voldemort, Hermione, Ron, and Harry. You can even touch the clothing of the eerie Death Eaters and other iconic characters. The tour also lets you explore fabrics from Professor Trelawney’s Divination classroom, adding to the fun.

Next, imagine getting close to magical creatures. One of the tour highlights is the chance to feel part of Aragog’s prickly spider leg. And that’s not all! You can also touch treasures from Gringotts Wizarding Bank. At the end of your visit, you get to explore a raised floor plan of the famous Hogwarts castle model by using your fingers to trace its grand design.

Geoff Spooner, the senior vice president at the studio tour, is really excited about this new idea. He said that working with Guide Dogs shows their commitment to making every visitor feel included. He hopes that this change will inspire others in the industry too.

Alex Pepper from Guide Dogs also shared his excitement. He explained that their advice, training, and consultation have helped make UK attractions more welcoming for people with sight loss. Alex hopes that visitors who are blind or partially sighted will feel confident exploring the studio tour.

Moreover, Warner Bros. Studio Tour is supporting this change by sponsoring three guide dogs in training—black Labrador Harry, yellow Labrador Ron, and Golden Retriever Hermione. You can ask for a tactile tour when you book your visit or simply speak with a staff member on the day.

In short, these new tactile tours let Harry Potter fans with sight loss enjoy a magical, hands-on experience. It’s a wonderful way to see how much Warner Bros. cares about making their attractions fun and accessible for everyone. Enjoy the magic, and have a great visit!
