The original Weasley family from the Harry Potter films have reunited on the iconic film sets as the series celebrates its 25th anniversary. Actors Bonnie Wright, James and Oliver Phelps, and Mark Williams — who played Ginny, Fred, George, and Arthur Weasley, respectively — revisited Warner Bros. Studio Tour London - The Making of Harry Potter to share stories and surprise visitors.
The stars relived memories from filming and offered a rare glimpse into the filmmaking magic behind one of the most iconic and expansive film franchises of all time. Taking part in the historical day, the wizarding world's most adored family also showed their more playful side by surprising Studio Tour visitors as they wandered about the enchanting sets where the iconic films began.
Speaking on the reunion, Mark Williams said: "I love coming back to the wizarding world." Oliver Phelps added: "Being back on the set reunited with Bonnie and Mark has been absolutely superb — it's like coming into a time warp, like no time has passed at all since we were last together."
Summer Feature Launch
The family reunion comes as the Studio Tour takes fans back to the very beginning with the launch of its summer feature, 'First Year at Hogwarts - Where the Filmmaking Magic Began', bringing classic moments to life from Harry Potter's first-year adventures. Geoff Spooner, senior vice president, WBD Global Experiences EMEA, said: "This summer, we're celebrating 25 years since Harry Potter first began his journey at Hogwarts. It's a story that has enchanted generations, and our new summer feature invites fans right back into the very heart of that magic. Reuniting Bonnie, James, Oliver, and Mark to the original authentic film sets for this milestone makes it all the more special, as they step back into those unforgettable moments and reminisce about the film that started it all."
Top Scenes from Philosopher's Stone
To mark the launch, the attraction has revealed the top three scenes from Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone, according to a survey of 719 UK adults. The top spot went to the moment when Harry received his Hogwarts letter at Number Four Privet Drive (31%), which is brought to life at the Studio Tour by hundreds of acceptance letters pouring out of the fireplace. Harry getting his first ever wand at Ollivanders (30%) and meeting the Weasleys on the way to Platform 9 ¾ completed the top three favourite scenes from the eight films.
The brand-new special feature runs from 7th May to 7th September 2026 at Warner Bros. Studio Tour London, showcasing how flying lessons and Quidditch matches were brought to life on the demonstration stage and a brand new Wizard's Chess photo opportunity featuring moving pieces.
Commenting on the reunion, Art Director Gary Tomkins said: "My main role on the first film was to help create the drawings for the Hogwarts castle model that you can still see today at the Studio Tour. It feels fantastic to see so many of the crew and actors back on the sets we all worked on all those years ago that everyone knows and loves so much. I always love coming back here — it really keeps the magic alive and is such a great opportunity to show the close-up details of the film."
