by · October 13, 2011

Earlier today, several members of the cast of the Harry Potter film series held a live  web chat to launch the opening of the WB Studio Tour London – The Making of Harry Potter as ticket sales are now open to the general public. The Studio Tour itself will not be open until March 31, 2012.

Some of the highlights from the chat:

Favorite set to hide in?
Oliver Phelps: Great Hall
Julie Walters: The Burrow

Will the tour be open forever?
Bonnie Wright: It will be open for a very long time, don’t worry you will get your chance.

If you were a guide, which set would you show fans first?
Bonnie Wright: Burrow with its mechanical dishes, cuts veggies
Mark Williams: Dumbledore’s Office
Julie Walters: The Great Hall

Bonnie, what was it like to work in the Art Department?
Bonnie Wright: Good fun actually. I hope some of it will be in the Burrow. I made collages and paintings as if young Ginny were doing drawings. 

What set did you never film on that you wish you had?
Tom Felton: The Burrow
James and Oliver Phelps: The Ministry of Magic set
Julie Walters: Dumbledore’s Office
Bonnie Wright: I snooped around all the sets and coming to the tour is like sneaking around Hogwarts. 
Natalia Tena: I wanted to go to the Gryffindor Common Room.
Warwick Davis: The notice board in the common room. 

We will have the full web chat video when it becomes available.
