Level 3 Architecture and Interior students from Coventry College were transported into a world of magic and creativity during a visit to Warner Brothers Studios for an exclusive tour of the Harry Potter studios.

The trip offered students a unique opportunity to delve into the inner workings of set design and model creation, gaining insights into the intricate processes that bring magical worlds to life on screen.

During the tour, students were able to see firsthand the behind-the-scenes craftsmanship involved in creating the iconic sets of the Harry Potter films. They explored how perspective plays a crucial role in set design and learned how to construct models that come to life through the lens of a camera. From the Great Hall to Diagon Alley, students experienced the magic of film production while connecting it to their own studies in architecture and interior design.
