Fans can now experience a magical Christmas at the Studio Tour, seeing their favourite Harry Potter sets dressed for the festive season in a blanket of filmmaking snow.
Visitors to Warner Bros. Studio Tour London – The Making of Harry Potter, can now experience the enchantment of Christmas as its popular Hogwarts in the Snow feature has officially opened.
The magnificent Great Hall is now adorned in festive scenes from Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone, and for the first time ever Studio Tour fans can witness a demonstration of the animatronic head of Hagrid used in the Harry Potter film series, and experience the charming snowy scene where Hagrid drags an enormous Christmas tree through the grounds of Hogwarts.
Frozen Hogwarts Fountain
Brand new to the feature is a frozen Hogwarts fountain – as seen in the Clock Tower Courtyard in the Harry Potter film series which will adorn the Backlot area of the Studio Tour. Elsewhere, the Hogwarts castle model is covered in a blanket of film makers’ snow and beloved sets such as Gryffindor common room, Forbidden Forest, and Diagon Alley are dressed in their festive finery.
Attentive visitors can uncover the hidden location of miniature snowmen and discover the filmmaking secrets behind creating flames that don’t burn and ice that never melts.
Hogwarts in the Snow will run from the 16th November 2024 until the 19th January 2025, before the much-loved Magical Mischief feature comes to the Studio Tour.
Magical Mischief
Neville will be making a return to the Magical Mischief feature in 2025 alongside Professor Umbridge and the swing pendulum, levitating cake and Harry’s flying acceptance letters.
Fans who have attended the Magical Mischief feature previously will remember the iconic scene with Neville being tormented by Cornish Pixies. Visitors will now get to experience this moment in its new film accurate home, the Defence Against the Dark Arts Classroom.
The film makers have been hard at work bringing the chaos of this spectacle to life, with visitors able to see Neville moving while being suspended from the classroom’s ceiling, a stunt never seen before at the Studio Tour. Fans will be transported into Gilderoy Lockhart’s lesson, experiencing the pixies’ mischievous antics first-hand. Watch out for those electric blue rascals around the Studio Tour. We must ask you not to scream… it might provoke them!
