Fans of Harry Potter will get the chance to "discover the filmmaking magic" behind The Prisoner of Azkaban this summer as part of the Warner Bros. Studio Tour London.
The Harry Potter Studio Tour in Leavesden will have sets built by the original filmmakers available to see as part of the 20th anniversary of the film.
This will include the Divination classroom, a transformed Defence Against the Dark Arts classroom set and the interior of the Knight Bus.
Return to Azkaban will run from May 1 to September 4 and tickets can be booked at the website here.
What features are part of the Return to Azkaban exhibit?
The main feature of the new Return to Azkaban exhibit is the Divination classroom where Harry, Ron and Hermione attend their first lesson with Professor Trelawney.
The studio adds: "Fans will remember the iconic moment Professor Trelawney discovers the Grim, an omen of death, in Harry’s cup.
"During the feature, the original teacup will be displayed at the Studio Tour and visitors are invited to interpret the tea leaf sign themselves.
"Additionally, the grand teacup tower holding over 500 vintage teacups will be on show as well as original costumes worn by Harry, Ron, Hermione and Professor Trelawney."
Meanwhile, the redressed Defence Against the Dark Arts classroom where Professor Lupin taught his students to face their fears against the Boggart will be available to see.
Visitors will find a new section of the Defence Against the Dark Arts classroom on display, complete with the Art Nouveau-style Boggart wardrobe and sinister Boggart jack-in-the-box, as seen in the third film.
The Harry Potter Studio Tour adds: "Also new to the Studio Tour, visitors have the chance to discover the interior of the Knight Bus as a full cross-section of the set will be displayed.

"To create the Knight Bus, filmmakers welded a third deck onto a traditional London bus before painting it the now iconic shade of purple.
"Fans will see the Knight Bus in action as the set rattles and the beds move, just as they did when bus driver Ernie made his bumpy ride through London.
"Other highlights of Return to Azkaban include stepping foot into the magnificent Great Hall under an enchanted ceiling filled with over 100 floating candles, before being regaled by the Hogwarts Frog Choir and seeing The Monster Book of Monsters go on a rampage in Harry’s room at the Leaky Cauldron."
