LONDON -  To pay homage to the first book and film of the Harry Potter series, Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone, the Warner Bros. Studio Tour London is opening up the Dursley living room for the first time ever. 

Between May 27- June 6, fans will be able to walk through the front door of Number 4 Privet Drive and stand in the room where hundreds of Harry's Hogwarts letters arrived.

Fans of the J.K Rowling books will remember Number 4 Privet Drive as the muggle home where the young wizard spent most of his childhood with his Aunt Petunia, Uncle Vernon and Cousin Dudley.

Warner Bros. told Mashable that "set decorators were tasked with filling the house with quirky pieces of furniture and had lots of fun sourcing the ugliest sofas, worst tiles and most unattractive curtains possible".

Costumes worn by the Dursley family, which were designed by Judianna Makovsky, will also be on display, as will the technology used to blow the letters through the letterbox.
