Overview

• A lifelike 25-foot animatronic Hungarian Horntail, designed by filmmaker Joe Scott, roared through London streets on May 12 as part of a promotional stunt.
• The dragon's journey past landmarks like Westminster Bridge and King’s Cross Station recreated its on-screen escape scene from 'Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire.'
• Crafted over 750 hours, the animatronic features 25 kg of fibreglass, 119 hand-applied spikes, and 38 resin-printed teeth for authenticity.
• The stunt heralds the May 15 opening of the 'Triwizard Tournament – Making of Champions' exhibit, running through September 8 at Warner Bros. Studio Tour London.
• The exhibit will showcase behind-the-scenes secrets, including Mad Eye Moody’s Great Hall arrival and Rita Skeeter’s self-writing quill, celebrating the craftsmanship behind the beloved film series.
