A Guide to The Goblet of Fire at Studio Tour Tokyo

To claim the 'championship cup' of the best experience amidst countless challenges, one needs a clever strategy. The same is true for the  special exhibition currently underway at the Warner Bros. Studio Tour Tokyo. Here are three viewing tips to perfectly seize the excitement, rather than just glazing over the surface.


Tip 1: Review is a Must, The Emotion is Doubled

The prerequisite for any great experience is 'preparation.' Before visiting this exhibition, I recommend watching the movie 

Things like the texture and design of the uniforms worn by the Beauxbatons and Durmstrang students, the color of the light emitted from the mermaid stained glass in the Prefects' Bathroom scene, and the color and texture of the flame as the Goblet of Fire spits out the champions' names. If you absorb these small details beforehand, the thrill of the moment when the fantasy from the screen becomes reality before your eyes will be doubled.


Tip 2: Can't-Miss Details and Photo Zones

The centerpiece of this exhibition is, without a doubt, the life-sized 'Goblet of Fire'. However, you shouldn't stop at just taking a picture in front of it. You must look closely at the intricate Celtic knotwork carvings that wrap around the goblet, inspired by Celtic mythology, and the texture of the wood that seems to hold ancient secrets. This is how you appreciate a 'work of art,' not just a movie prop.

The same goes for the 'Prefects' Bathroom'. Taking a photo with the mermaid stained glass in the background is basic. But beyond that, check out the detail where water of different colors flows from each of the 53 uniquely shaped taps—a detail that was only briefly passed by even in the movie. Such moments of 'discovery' are the greatest intellectual joy this exhibition offers us.


Tip 3: The Smartest Ticket Booking Strategy

The Harry Potter Studio is a 100% advance reservation system where on-site ticketing is impossible. Especially during a major special exhibition period like 

Therefore, the wisest strategy is to secure your studio ticket along with your flight ticket at the very first stage of planning your trip. WAUG is the most certain and smartest route to secure tickets most comfortably in your own language and at a lowest price guarantee, instead of dealing with the complicated official website.
