Harry Potter Filmmakers

To further enrich the fan experience and celebrate the enduring magic of Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone, Wizarding World partnered with Silk Factory to create an exclusive 5-part mini-series. Our mission was to provide an intimate look at the creative brilliance that brought this foundational film to life, offering unprecedented access to the key talent who shaped some of its most iconic moments. We journeyed to the hallowed grounds of the Warner Bros. Studio Tour in London to capture these insightful conversations.

Silk Factory conceived and executed a series of in-depth interviews with the leading creative figures behind Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone, commissioned by Wizarding World. Filmed within the authentic backdrop of the Warner Bros. Studio Tour, these conversations offered a tangible connection to the film’s enduring magic. We focused on key moments and the specific contributions of:

• John Richardson, Special Effects Supervisor
• Robbie Scott, Model Designer
• Nick Davis, Visual Effects Supervisor
• Pierre Bohanna, Prop Maker & Modeller
• Neil Lamont (Supervising Art Director) & Gary Tomkins (Assistant Art Director)

To enhance the viewing experience for the Wizarding World audience, Silk Factory also designed and animated bespoke introductory sequences for each of the five episodes, setting a visually engaging tone for the revelations to come. The editing seamlessly wove together the interview footage with relevant film clips and behind-the-scenes imagery, ensuring a captivating experience for fans.
