Where was Harry Potter filmed?

Question set via email
“I have a question about film studios in England:Where are the film studios where Harry Potter was filmed? And they are open for visitor, how much money does it cost?”
Thanks, Laura from Austria


Dursley’s house, Number 4 Privet Drive, Little Whinging, Surrey
It was filmed at an ordinary house – 12 Picket Post Close in Martin’s Heron near Bracknell, Berkshire.

Zoo Scene
The scene early in the film when the Dursleys go to the zoo and Harry talks to the snake, was filmed at London Zoo.

Steam train Hogwarts Express
Filmed in London on Platform 4 at Kings Cross Station.
There is no platform 9 and 3/4. When the movies were filmed they used the wall between platforms 4 and 5.

The Train Journey
West Highland Railway Line in Scotland, which runs 42 miles from Fort William to Mallaig.
