Together with bus operator Golden Tours, the buses transport National Health Service (NHS) workers to Watford General Hospital, St. Albans City Hospital and Hemel Hempstead Hospital in Hertfordshire, England.

The service is free and runs hourly from 6:00 am to 10:40 pm.

"We couldn't think of a better way to use the buses at this time. We are delighted to play a part in supporting our local NHS in its time of need," Warner Bros. said in a statement to trade publication Variety.

The buses are usually used to ferry fans and tourists for Warner Bros. Studios Leavesden's The Making of Harry Potter studio tour.

Warner Bros. suspended the Harry Potter studio tours back in March due to the threat of COVID-19.
