You will know that Christmas has truly arrived at Hogwarts when you step inside the Great Hall! The space is dressed for the Yule Ball from Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire, complete with decorations, trees, and tables laid with a festive banquet of turkeys, roast potatoes and flaming puddings.

The cosy Gryffindor common room gets its own festive glow, filled with the same handmade decorations used during filming. You can also spot the crew’s original Christmas cards scattered around the room, adding that homely, lived-in charm that makes it feel like you’ve stepped straight into a Hogwarts holiday.

Ever wondered how the Forbidden Forest looks at Christmas? Step inside to see it transformed into a winter wonderland. Trees and paths are dusted with film-made snow, creating a mystical, frosty atmosphere while keeping all the familiar magical creatures and details fans adore.

Diagon Alley looks especially magical under a blanket of snow. The shopfronts glisten with frosty windows and twinkling lights, from Ollivanders to Weasleys’ Wizard Wheezes. It’s one of those sights that instantly transports you into the wizarding world at Christmas time.

Ever wondered how the crew made snow that never melts? Throughout the tour, you’ll learn about the clever tricks and materials that brought Hogwarts winters to life, from glistening frost on rooftops to drifting flakes that looked real on camera.

For the ultimate treat, dine in the Great Hall itself! These special Christmas dinners give guests exclusive after-hours access to enjoy a festive feast surrounded by the same decorations seen in the films. It’s a one-of-a-kind experience that captures the full magic of a Hogwarts Christmas.

The grand finale comes with the Hogwarts castle model, transformed into a snow-covered masterpiece. The same filmmaking techniques used for the movies are applied here to create that realistic, frosty look you see in the winter scenes.
