Creature Shop
A number of video screens here progressively show what it was like to work in the creature shop, cleverly leading you from one screen to the next.
Makeup Effects
Creature Shop artisans transformed many cast members into magical beings like goblins, werewolves and even the Dark Lord himself, using applied makeup pieces called prosthetics.
Design
The Art Department provided the Creature Shop with initial sketches and drawings of each creature and character. From there artists transformed the images into three-dimensional models called maquettes.
Moulding
Once the designs were approved, makeup appliances were sculpted to fit the performers. Models of actors' mouthes, heads, arms or entire bodies were cast which artists used to create and test new prosthetic pieces.
Application
Multiple copies of each prosthetic were made from silicone or foam. Then, makeup artists carefully glued each piece to cast members' heads and bodies, a process that took just a few minutes for Voldemort's eyebrows and up to three hours for a Gringotts goblin.
Filming
Because of the hot lights in the studio and actor movement, makeup artsits were standing by on set to touch up smeared lightning bolt scars, broken goblin ears or crooked teeth.

Located just 20 miles from the heart of London at Warner Bros. Studios Leavesden, the very place where it all began and where all eight of the Harry Potter films were brought to life. The Studio Tour is accessible to everyone and promises to be a truly memorable experience - whether you’re an avid Harry Potter fan, an all-round movie buff or you just want to try something that’s a little bit different.
The tour is estimated to take approximately three hours (I was in there for 5 hours!), however, as the tour is mostly self guided, you are free to explore the attraction at your own pace. During this time you will be able to see many of the best-loved sets and exhibits from the films. Unique and precious items from the films will also be on display, alongside some exciting hands-on interactive exhibits that will make you feel like you’re actually there.

Hogwarts Castle Model - Get a 360 degree view of the incredible, hand sculpted 1:24 scale construction that features within the Studio Tour. The Hogwarts castle model is the jewel of the Art Department having been built for the first film, Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone. It took 86 artists and crew members to construct the first version which was then rebuilt and altered many times over for the next seven films. The work was so extensive that if one was to add all the man hours that have gone into building and reworking the model, it would come to over 74 years. The model was used for aerial photography, and was digitally scanned for CGI scenes.
The model, which sits at nearly 50 feet in diameter, has over 2,500 fibre optic lights that simulate lanterns and torches and even gave the illusion of students passing through hallways in the films. To show off the lighting to full effect a day-to-night cycle will take place every four minutes so you can experience its full beauty.
An amazing amount of detail went into the making of the model: all the doors are hinged, real plants are used for landscaping and miniature birds are housed in the Owlery. To make the model appear even more realistic, artists rebuilt miniature versions of the courtyards from Alnwick Castle and Durham Cathedral, where scenes from Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone were shot.
Hampton Court - Is that Henry VIII?
Cardinal Thomas Wolsey acquired the 14th Century manor at Hampton Court in 1514. Construction on a new palace began in 1515, and the resulting 1,000-room country house was finer than King Henry VIII's own palaces--a problem that Henry solved by appropriating the estate in the 1520s. Henry expanded the palace, which remained largely unchanged until the reign of William and Mary, when the Tudor structure was modernized under the direction of Christopher Wren. The last monarch to live in the palace was George II, who died in 1760.

American film, stage and television actor Joseph Cotten (1905-1994) achieved prominence on Broadway, starring in the original stage productions of The Philadelphia Story and Sabrina Fair. He first gained worldwide fame in the Orson Welles films Citizen Kane (1941), The Magnificent Ambersons (1942), and Journey into Fear (1943), for which Cotten was also credited with the screenplay. He went on to become one of the leading Hollywood actors of the 1940s, appearing in films such as Shadow of a Doubt (1943), Duel in the Sun (1946) and The Third Man (1949). One of his final films was Michael Cimino's epic Heaven's Gate (1980).

Anton Pointner (born December 8, 1890 in Salzburg, died September 8, 1949 in Hintersee, Bavaria), was an Austrian stage and screen actor.
Pointner got his first engagement in Lahr in 1907. His other theatre stations included Pilsen (Plzeň), Düsseldorf (1911) and Brno. He then worked in Vienna and from 1920 in Berlin, for example at the Lessing Theater and the State Theater. His roles included the title character of Hamlet, Melchtal in Wilhelm Tell and Prince Karl-Heinz in Alt-Heidelberg.
While debuting on screen in 1911 in Lebensfreude by Reinhard Bruck, also with Polaire, and produced by Düsseldorfer Film-Manufaktur Ludwig Gottschalk, followed by Bruck's film Halbwelt (1911), Pointner did a few films in Vienna during the First World War. Yet, his film career set off immediately after the war's end. Pointner became one of the favourite actors of actress Ellen Richter, with whom he acted in the episode films Die Abenteurerin von Monte Carlo (Adolf Gärtner, 1921), Die Frau met den Millionen (Willi Wolff, 1922-23), and Der Flug um den Erdball (Willi Wolff, 1924-25), as well as the single films Kopf hoch, Charly! (Ludwig Wolff, 1926) and Die Frau ohne Nerven (Willi Wolff, 1929). Around 1923 Pointner acted in several films by Friedrich Zelnik, in the mid-1920s also in films of e.g. the Dutch emigré directors Theo Frenkel (Frauenmoral, 1923) and Jaap Speyer (Liebeshandel, 1926). He co-acted with many female stars of Weimar cinema such as Ruth Weyher, Liane and Grit Haid, Magda Sonja, Anita Dorris, Claire Rommer, Maria Jacobini, Carmen Boni, Mary Carr, Lya De Putti, Asta Nielsen, Henny Porten, and many others. The athletic actor embodied powerful, robust characters in mostly supporting roles, as Count Leicester in Maria Stuart (Friedrich Fehér, 1927) and Frederick the Great's son and heir Friedrich Wilhelm in Der alte Fritz (Gerhard Lamprecht 1927-28).
In 1930-31 Pointner went to Hollywood and starred in German versions of American films, most of which were directed by William/ Wilhelm Dieterle. Pointner thus acted e.g. in Die heilige Flamme (Wilhelm Dieterle, Berthold Viertel, 1931), the German version of The Sacred Flame, and Menschen hinter Gittern (Pál Fejös, 1931), the German-language version of The Big House. Returning to Germany in 1931 he easily started in the new sound film industry, e.g. in Trenck (Heinz Paul, Ernst Neubach, 1932), and Ich bei Tag und Du bei Nacht (Ludwig Berger, 1932). At the time of the Third Reich in Germany, Pointner continued to be used in numerous productions such as the comedy Saison in Kairo (1933) with Renate Müller and Willy Fritsch, and he portrayed e.g. the Austrian Emperor Franz I in the 1936 Fridericus Rex film, starring Otto Gebühr. In 1939 he was briefly at the Cinecittà studios in Rome for the shooting of the German-Italian production Castelli in aria by Augusto Genina, starring Lilian Harvey and Vittorio De Sica. After an intermission at the war's end, Pointner continued his film acting in 1948. During a trip to Hintersee near Berchtesgaden, Anton Pointner died of a heart attack on September 8, 1949. His body was buried on September 12, 1949, in the Salzburg municipal cemetery. His last three films were released after his death. All in all, he acted in 181 films.
