Quick answer: yes, if anyone in the group actually likes Harry Potter: it is rated 4.6 from 10,822 reviews from £85. No, if they do not, because it is a 7-9 hours commitment including travel to Watford, and Madame Tussauds from £24 covers the same impulse centrally.

Quick answer: Madame Tussauds is the best wet-weather family booking (from £24, rated 4.6 from 23,184 reviews), the Churchill War Rooms from £67 are underground so the weather cannot reach you, and the London Dungeon from £24 is the cheapest indoor option here.
