There is a good reason why some filmmakers choose to stick with practical effects and that is because it still looks more convincing. However, as the following cosplayers will demonstrate, you don’t actually need CGI to replicated the incredibly intricate characters that are often massive in size and personality. That’s why in so many of these big budget comic book movies, the filmmakers resort to using CGI to create those complicated characters.
Some characters just can’t be replicated physically. There are countless DC Comics characters that you would rightfully assume are impossible to cosplay, because anyone who tries would look foolish if they tried to replicate what was on the page. Most people fail, but some succeed wonderfully.

It requires a lot of talent, time and money to replicate costumes from the comic books, TV series and movies and not everyone is up to the task, especially when they choose to cosplay as a character with a particularly elaborate costume. For every good one, there are probably about a million bad ones. There are a lot of lousy cosplays out there.

Professor Sprout’s greenhouse, the courtyard fountain and the exterior of the Weasleys’ Burrow are permanent additions to the Studio Tour.

The scale-model of the Weasleys’ burrow is an exciting addition to our backlot area as filmmaking fans will learn the camera trickery behind the external scenes of the family home, seen in Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets. In addition to this brand new set, we have expanded the exterior sets in our backlot with new additions including the fountain from the Hogwarts courtyard and a 1:3 scale-version of the Weasleys’ Burrow. Based on the scene in Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets, you will recognise the Venomous Tentacula hanging from the ceiling as you walk through the greenhouse.
