Great! Catherine, William And Three Children Suddenly Appear A Big Studio at Windsor’s Great Park

Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Lewis were in for a treat this week as they attended the set of the new Harry Potter series. The children were taken to the set of Hogsmeade Station, built on Windsor Great Park near their future Forest Lodge home, by Prince William and Princess Catherine earlier this week. Prince George, 12, Princess Charlotte, 10, and Prince Lewis, 7, joined their mother for not one, but two visits to the meticulously recreated Hogsmeade Station, nestled in the picturesque Windsor Great Park, conveniently close to their future residence at Forest Lodge. This four-million-pound set, built specifically for the highly anticipated HBO reboot, provided the young royals with a once-in-a-lifetime glimpse into the magic of filmmaking. The family's first outing earlier in the week sparked an invitation to return for live filming on Friday evening, an offer they eagerly accepted. According to reports from the Mail on Sunday, Catherine, 43, escorted her excited brood back to the site that night, where they mingled with the cast and crew amid the hustle of production. The children met the young stars, including 11-year-old Scottish actor Dominic McLaughlin, who has been cast as the iconic Harry Potter, a role he describes as his, dream, after being a lifelong fan of the books and films. For little Prince Lewis, the highlight was undoubtedly boarding the Hogwarts Express and riding alongside the driver, a thrill that reportedly left him beaming with joy. This isn't the first time the Wales family has embraced the wizarding world. The royals are well-known enthusiasts of the Harry Potter franchise, with Prince William and Catherine having attended an official engagement at the Warner Bros. studio tour London in 2013, where they wielded wands and explored the original film sets. In April 2013, Princess Catherine, Prince William and Prince Harry brought a touch of royal glamour to Warner Bros. studios as they toured the world-famous film set. The visit delighted more than 500 children and their parents who joined the royal trio in exploring the magic behind the Harry Potter and Batman franchises. Catherine, six months pregnant at the time, radiated her trademark glow in a simple yet stylish outfit. She chose a £38 black-and-white polka-dot dress from Topshop, paired with a classic Ralph Lauren blazer and black suede episode angel pomps. Her maternity style once again won praise for blending affordability with timeless elegance, making her look both accessible and chic. William and Harry, both in sharp suits, looked equally enthusiastic as they explored the sets. The tour began with a history of the studio, followed by a close look at props and memorabilia from the Batman films, which particularly fascinated the two princes. Their boyish excitement was clear, offering a glimpse of their genuine enjoyment away from formal royal duties. Catherine showed her own enthusiasm, especially when the tour turned to the Harry Potter exhibits. She admitted she had both read the books and watched the films, while William confessed he had only seen the movies. Harry, ever the joker, also seemed absorbed by the magical world on display. The royals' candid exchanges with staff and their shared smiles made the occasion feel warm and light-hearted. The highlight came at the end of the tour when the three were each presented with their own hand-carved wands, a fitting souvenir of a day that combined royal presence with the enchantment of cinema. Their passion appears to run in the family – Queen Camilla once revealed that King Charles enjoys reading the books aloud to his grandchildren, cementing the series as a staple in royal storytime. Even Prince Andrew made an appearance at the Windsor set this week, accompanied by some of his grandchildren, though he did not stay for the live filming sessions.
