Harry Potter/Warner Bros. Studio Tour: Hagrid's Motorbike

We continued ''The Making of Harry Potter'' tour at the Warner Bros. Studio by making our way through ''The Big Room'', which features models, props, stage sets, wardrobes, and other items from the Harry Potter films.

 

Shown here is Hagrid's motorbike, which was originally owned by Harry's uncle, Sirius Black. A few details on the motorcycle from the informational placard accompanying the exhibit:

 

Hagrid's Motorbike

These motorbikes are 1960 Royal Enfield models, which were modified with a larger seat to fit the half-giant Hagrid. The Special Effects team created seven bikes in total, including the picture-perfect 'hero' vehicle displayed here.

 

'Dominating the scene was Hagrid, wearing a helmet and goggles and sitting astride an enormous motorbike with a black sidecar attached.' – J.K. Rowling, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows
