That's down to the level of detail from unsung heroes behind-the-scenes, like Art Director Gary Tomkins, who worked on all eight movies.
"Shell Cottage, we built on the seashore in Pembrokeshire," Tomkins recalled.
"All the shells had little, tiny barnacles on, a fantastic level of detail - all hand painted. The slates on the roof weren't slate, they were actually shells. We worked out how they would fit together. It was a huge level of detail. The garden was planted up, we had fences. We had part of the interior, we had curtains at the window - all of that.

We were always indulged, and we could afford to build beautiful sets, and it gave the director an opportunity to shoot in and around it.
While Shell Cottage might not have had its shining moment on screen, one part of Tomkins' work that certainly did was Hogwarts Castle.
"We were integrating the elements of the real world places that we shot on location, in Gloucester, Durham, and it pretty much came together as we had planned.
"In subsequent films, of course, because new things came in in the script that we weren't aware of when we built the first film, we had to change the design of the castle. So as you move through the films, the castle constantly changes its design.
For Tomkins, the Studio Tour is a chance for both the behind-the-scenes details to be appreciated by the fans.
"Very often that's lost on the screen, but you can come here and you can get up really close to everything, and see the level of detail. It's an incredible level of detail that was put into everything.
Harry Potter author JK Rowling has faced backlash in some quarters due to her views on transgender rights. In 2020, she published a lengthy statement detailing her stance on sex and gender debates – the essay was criticised and disputed by LGBTQ+ charities including Stonewall.
In May 2025, Rowling set up the JK Rowling Women’s Fund, which describes itself as offering legal funding support to “individuals and organisations fighting to retain women’s sex-based rights”.
