Harry Potter fans are in for a treat

The Harry Potter film studios will open to the public tomorrow which means fans of the globally-successful film franchise will be able to view sets from the films that they have enjoyed watching over the years.

Some iconic sets will be included in the studio tour, including The Great Hall and the lavish office that belonged to Professor Dumbledore.

According to the BBC News, Leavesden Studios in Hertfordshire have set prices at £83 for a family of four to visit the studio, and some criticism has already been levelled at the tour organisers with regards to the price of some of the items in the gift shop.

Some of the items on sale include a reproduction of Emma Watson's ball gown, which will set customers back £241, a Firebolt Broomstick, priced at £249, and a set of Professor Dumbledore's robes, for £495.

The managing director of Warner Bros, UK has said: "Like everything, there's the high end that is incredibly good quality. And it's expensive to make, and it's expensive to sell."

He further told BBC News that 25% of the merchandise in the shop is under £10, describing it as "eminently affordable" for most of the families choosing to visit the studio.
