A Celebration of Harry Potter is packed with all walks of life from the Potterverse. Panels and exhibitions give fans a behind-the-scenes look at the movies and celebrate the future of what's to come for the series. From The Making of Harry Potter: Warner Bros Studios Tour to Harry Potter and the Cursed Child, here are some props and costumes that were on display.
The Making of Harry Potter in London is the home of the film franchise, where costumes, props, and sets from all eight movies were preserved and fans can tour multiple sets such as The Great Hall, Privet Number Drive, and the Forbidden Forest.
Every year Warner Bros Studios Tour London brings a different theme to give fans a taste of what they can expect in London. This year, tour guides brought the magic of the practical effects that were utilized in the movies. Below is a first look at the practical candles used in the Great Hall, candles that ultimately burned the wires they hung on and were eventually replaced with CGI.
From Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, a lot of the stunt scenes that you would expect to be special effects are in fact practical. Dolores's proclamations that hang on the Hogwarts walls were rigged to fall a certain height from a rig. Her outfit too actually smoked when Fred and George Weasley attack her in The Great Hall with fireworks.
The last room of the Warner Bros Studios Tour London let us walk into a recreation of the Dursley's parlor room. (The rug we walked on was actually from the original set!) On one side of the wall, fans could take their picture underneath Petuna's pudding floating in the air. And on the other side, Aunt Marge's body growing and floating up to the ceiling.

A look at "baby Harry" with the letter to the Dursleys; this display included a playpen with owls dangling overhead as scene in some of the films' flashbacks.
A few props on display from Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire: Rita Skeeter's Journal, the 422nd Quidditch World Cup pamphlet, and Ominoculars that Ron and Harry use to watch the game.
