Harry Potter, In the Name of Love

Via the Warner Bros. Studio Tour in Tokyo, we can unveil the secrets behind the making of Harry Potter. From collecting the Galleons at Gringotts Wizarding Bank, to choosing the beloved animal companion at Magical Menagerie, Diagon Alley houses everything we need to Hogwarts. Step into the Wizarding World in Platform 9 ¾, which is hidden from Muggles in London.

If we miss the Hogwarts Express, the Flying Ford Anglia will instead bring us into the Forbidden Forest. Swish and flick your magic wand and battle with Dementors by casting a Patronus. The Great Hall plays a pivotal role in nurturing Hogwarts students. Gryffindor (lion), Hufflepuff (badger), Ravenclaw (raven) and Slytherin (snake). Which house have you been sorted into?

Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone

Men have wasted away in front of the Mirror of Erised. Even gone mad. It does not do to dwell on dreams and forget to live. — Professor Albus Dumbledore

No matter how abusive the Dursleys, with the assistance of groundskeeper Rubeus Hagrid, Harry Potter managed to kick off his school year in Hogwarts. He was placed into Gryffindor alongside Ron Weasley and Hermione Granger. As he studied magic, he learnt more about himself, as well as his innate talent for broomstick flying, which made him the youngest Seeker in Quidditch.

The Philosopher's Stone was a legendary substance with astonishing powers. The trio suspected that Severus Snape wanted it to return Voldemort to physical form. Overcoming the barriers of Devil's Snare, flying keys and the Wizard Chess, Harry found that it was the Dark Arts teacher Quirinus Quirrell, who was loyal to “he-who-must-not-be-named” next to the Mirror of Erised.

Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets

It is not our abilities that show what we truly are. It is our choices. — Professor Albus Dumbledore

Dobby warned Harry Potter not to return to Hogwarts or danger will strike. Nothing could stop Harry from going to Hogwarts, with the assistance of Ron Weasley and the flying car. “The Chamber of Secrets has been opened, enemies of the heir... beware.” Salazar Slytherin, one of the founders, waited for his Heir to unleash the horror within the chamber and purge the school.

Mrs Norris, Colin Creevy, Nearly Headless Nick and even Hermione Granger were petrified. Lucius Malfoy removed Dumbledore from office and took Hagrid to Azkaban. To prove Hagrid's innocence, Harry entered the chamber and found that it was Tom Marvolo Riddle, Slytherin's heir and Voldemort's younger self, who manipulated Ginny Weasley into reopening the Chamber.

Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban

The truth lies buried like a sentence deep within a book, waiting to be read. You must broaden your mind. Use your Inner Eye to see the future. — Professor Sybill Trelawney

On the way to the Leaky Cauldron via Knight Bus, Harry learns that Sirius Black, a convicted supporter of Lord Voldemort, has escaped Azkaban Prison and intends to kill him. He followed Professor Minerva McGonagall and Minister Fudge in Hogsmeade, and found that his godfather Black divulged the Potters' whereabouts to Voldemort and killed his friend Peter Pettigrew.

Under the Whomping Willow, Remus Lupin and Black reveal that Scabbers was the Animagus form of Pettigrew. He was the culprit who betrayed Harry's parents, faked his death, and framed Black for his own crimes. Expecto Patronum! Not only did Harry and Hermione save Black from the Dementor’s kiss, but also the life of Hippogriff Buckbeak and Black, with the time-turner.

Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire

Dark and difficult times lie ahead. Soon we must all face the choice between what is right and what is easy. — Professor Albus Dumbledore

Terror attack by Death Eaters targeted the Quidditch World Cup and the unknown from Harry Potter's nightmare casted the Dark Mark. At Hogwarts, the Goblet selected Fleur Delacour for Beauxbatons, Viktor Krum for Durmstrang, and Cedric as well as Harry for Hogwarts. They had to collect the eggs by getting past a dragon, and rescue their valued one from the Black Lake.

To reach the Triwizard Cup, the Champions must navigate a maze. Bone of the father, unwillingly given. Flesh of the servant, willingly sacrificed. And blood of the enemy, forcibly taken. The Dark Lord shall rise again. Pettigrew killed Cedric and resurrected Voldemort. Instead of Alastor Moody, it was Barty Crouch Jr. who ensured the return of Voldemort.

Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix

The world isn't split into good people and Death Eaters. We've all got both light and dark inside of us. What matters is the part we choose to act on. — Sirius Black

Dolores Umbridge, the new Defence Against the Dark Arts professor, was appointed as a high inquisitor to address the falling standards at Hogwarts. The Ministry of Magic believed theoretical knowledge would be sufficient for students to pass the exam. The more the control, the higher the willingness of constructing “Dumbledore's Army” to teach defensive spells.

“The Order of the Phoenix” was founded to combat the Ministry of Magic, which stonewalled rumors about Lord Voldemort's return. The vision of Voldemort torturing Sirius urged Harry to recover a bottled prophecy. A violent duel erupts in the Department of Mysteries. Witness how Bellatrix Lestrange killed Sirius Black, Harry still managed to drive out Voldemort’s possession.

Harry Potter and the Half‑Blood Prince

This memory is everything. Without it, we are blind. Without it, we leave the fate of our world to chance. — Professor Albus Dumbledore

While Voldemort tightened his grip on the worlds, the Half-Blood Prince Severus Snape claimed to be a mole within the Order of the Phoenix, and thus made an Unbreakable Vow with Narcissa, protecting her son Draco during the secret mission: to kill Dumbledore. Yet, he hesitated. It was Snape who seemingly fulfilled the mission and blasted Dumbledore off the Astronomy Tower.

Horace Slughorn was ashamed of sharing the information about Horcruxes with Voldemort. An object in which a person can conceal part of their soul and live as if an immortal. In other words, one can destroy Voldemort via the destruction of all of the six Horcruxes: Tom Riddle's diary and Marvolo Gaunt's ring have been destroyed, while Slytherin's locket was stolen by “R.A.B.”.

Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows

Do not pity the dead. Pity the living. And, above all, all those who live without love. —— Professor Albus Dumbledore

Dumbledore left Harry, Ron and Hermione a Deluminator, a copy of The Tales of Beedle the Bard, and the Golden Snitch he caught in his first Quidditch match. The trio's journey began, in order to destroy all Horcruxes, beginning with the locket. They learnt how the three brothers received the Resurrection Stone, the Cloak of Invisibility, and the Elder Wand to evade Death.

While Voldemort searched Horcruxes due to the sacredness of death, others searched Hallows to master the death. The trio destroyed the Hufflepuff's cup and the Ravenclaw's Diadem with the Basilisk fang respectively. Harry discovered how Snape worked with Dumbledore as a double agent amongst the Death Eaters, to protect him from Voldemort when he became an orphan.

Understanding the fact that he became a Horcrux when Voldemort's curse failed to kill him, Harry surrendered to Voldemort in the Forbidden Forest. Surprisingly, the Killing Curse freed him from Voldemort in return. Help will always be given at Hogwarts to those who deserve it. McGonagall roused the Hogwarts community for battle and resumed the peace hand in hand.

Your mother sacrificed herself for you.

And that kind of act leaves a mark.

This kind of mark cannot be seen.

It lives in your very skin. Love, Harry.

—— Professor Albus Dumbledore
