Job-seekers queued for up to two hours before the opening of the Making of Harry Potter tour jobs fair held at the Hunton Park De Vere Hotel last week.

The event at the hotel which is adjacent to Leavesden Studios attracted “scores of people” according to the local newspaper who came to find out details of jobs on offer at the site.

When Warner Brother’s purchase of Leavesden Studios was first announced it was believed that around 300 jobs would be created at the visitor attraction which is to be opened at the site where Harry Potter has been filmed for the past decade.
