The new Harry Potter theme park that is being constructed in Tokyo's Nerima Ward will open on June 16, the Japanese subsidiary of U.S. movie giant Warner Bros. said Wednesday.
At "Warner Bros. Studio Tour Tokyo -- The Making of Harry Potter," visitors will be able to explore sets for the blockbuster movies. It is the second such theme park to be built, following one in London. The Tokyo park will be the world's largest indoor attraction for the series, with some exhibits exclusive to Tokyo.
During Wednesday's media tour, sets were unveiled for Platform 9 3/4 at King's Cross Station and the Hogwarts Express, which regularly appear in the films.
Actress Mana Ashida, 18, was invited to join the media tour on behalf of fans.
"I'm happy I get to be here a little early," she said.
Tickets will go on sale online at 2 p.m. on March 22. They are 6,300 yen for adults, 5,200 yen for junior high and high school students, and 3,800 yen for elementary school students down to those 4 years old.
