We may have had the final installment in the Harry Potter film franchise - but Potter mania is far from over.<br/> <br />Hundreds of fans turned out on Saturday for the opening of the studios in England where the blockbuster series was shot.<br/> <br />Stars of the series including Tom Felton, Bonnie Wright and Rupert Grint also turned up to check out the multi-million-pound Warner Brothers Studio Tour, called The Making of Harry Potter.<br/> <br />SOUNDBITE: Actor Rupert Grint, saying (English):<br/> <br />"I think it's a brilliant idea. I was so pleased when they decided to do this because it would be such a shame if they just put everything in a storage container and just forgot about it. This way everyone can kind of enjoy everything that's gone into these films -- so much hard work and you can really appreciate it," said actor Rupert Grint who played Ron Weasley in the series.<br/> <br />The tour's main attraction is the original Great Hall of Hogwarts School, built for Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone.<br/> <br />The hall features solid oak and pine house tables which were built for the films, and York stone flooring laid more than 11 years ago.<br/> <br />Actor Tom Felton who played villain Draco Malfoy found taking a trip down memory lane a bit of a strange experience.<br/> <br />SOUNDBITE: Actor Tom Felton, saying (English):<br/> <br />"Very surreal -- I suppose it's a bit like your old school suddenly opening up as a museum for people to walk around. It's bizarre and yet we're so thrilled that finally we get to share it with the world and Warner Brother have given it a full time home for people to come and check it out."<br/> <br />People can ride on the famous broomsticks and visitors will also see close-ups of the costumes,special effects and props.<br/> <br />Sarah Mills, Reuters.
