Michael McIntyre put his car tow nightmare behind him to enjoy a magical night out at the Warner Bros. Studio Tour London - The Making of Harry Potter where he got to experience the launch of a brand-new feature.
The comedian, 49, was pictured on Wednesday frustratedly trying to reason with two tow truck operators as his £195,000 Mercedes sportscar, with its wheels clamped, was hoisted on to the back of a lorry in Derry Street, Kensington.
It’s unknown whether he successfully managed to get his car back, but handily the place he was headed later offers a shuttle service from the nearby train station.
The Wheel host joined fellow celebrity attendees TV and radio presenter Roman Kemp, 32, women's rugby star Maud Muir, 23, along with Made In Chelsea stars Tristan Phipps and Julia Pollard, to celebrate the opening of the major new summer attraction: The Triwizard Tournament - Making of Champions.
The new feature, which runs until 8 September, unveils the British filmmaking secrets behind Harry Potter and The Goblet of Fire and offers fans a behind-the-scenes look at how the fourth film in the series, based on the beloved books by JK Rowling, was brought to life.
Guests were treated to theatrical Beauxbatons and Durmstrang performances, reenacting their iconic entrances to the Hogwarts Great Hall.
They also got to be among the first to visit the Backlot Stage, a brand-new, dedicated indoor space where you can discover the Secrets of Special Effects.
Before completing the tour, they had the opportunity to approach the legendary Goblet of Fire to submit their names, mirroring the brave champions from the film.
The attraction is part of the ongoing celebration to mark the 20th anniversary of the film, which stars Daniel Radicliffe, Emma Watson and Rupert Grint, and is based on the books by JK Rowling.
Earlier this week, a 25 foot-long Hungarian Horntail dragon travelled through the streets of the captial.
The huge animatronic dragon, which weighed 1.3 tonnes, brought to life a nail-biting scene from the film where it breaks free of its chains.
Onlookers were left spellbound as the “captured” beast made its way past London landmarks including Westminster Bridge, the Houses of Parliament, King’s Cross Station, and a quick pitstop at St. Pancras London, the whole time roaring and wrestling against its chains.
Be on the lookout for it coming to other cities across the UK, including Manchester.
