Experience Christmas in the wizarding world
15th November 2025 – 18th January 2026
The beloved Hogwarts in the Snow feature will return for the festive season. The spectacular Great Hall will be transformed into scenes from the Yule Ball as seen in Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire. The Gryffindor common room, Forbidden Forest and Diagon Alley will be dressed for Christmas and the Hogwarts castle model will be coated in snow using the same technique used in the Harry Potter film series.
Let The Magic Begin
Enter the Great Hall, bedecked in the gold decorations from Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone, you’ll find a mouth-watering banquet of roast potatoes, peas, turkeys, and puddings aflame set up as it was to celebrate the end-of-term feast at Hogwarts.
Christmas trees will tower over you in the Great Hall topped by authentic flying witches and inviting fireplaces will be adorned with festive holly, mistletoe, and wreaths.
Fan-favourite sets transformed
Discover how the Gryffindor and Slytherin common rooms sets were dressed for Christmas scenes in the film series. You’ll have the chance to spot authentic decorations and Christmas cards made by the crew during filming!
Step into the Forbidden Forest, where the woodlands will be covered in snow, or stroll down Diagon Alley with its snowy shop fronts and cobbled stones. Stop by the Christmas shop which has returned this year to provide you with a premium and exclusive selection of Christmas gifts, souvenirs, and stocking fillers.
Learn how a never melting snow was created by the set decorators for the film series using three materials, each serving a different purpose on-screen.
Your visit will end with a walk around the Hogwarts Castle model, which is blanketed with snow. This meticulous snowy transformation takes place at the Studio Tour each year, using the same process that was used for the films. Don’t forget to find the minuscule snowman figures hidden somewhere new on the model.
