Admire the Great Hall decoration

The Great Hall is transformed with silver trees, icicle decorations, and a bandstand. House tables are dressed with roast turkeys, flaming Christmas puddings, and golden place settings, recreating the Yule Ball scene from Goblet of Fire in festive, film-accurate detail.

Celebrate Christmas on every set

Gryffindor and Slytherin common rooms feature handmade garlands, enchanted-looking lanterns, and crew-made Christmas cards, including ones from set decorator Rosie Goodwin. Diagon Alley and the Forbidden Forest are also filled with snow-dusted shopfronts and glittering trees styled for the festive season.

Marvel at snow-dusted Hogwarts Castle

The Hogwarts Castle model is covered with paper snow and salt-based frost, just like in the films. It took weeks to complete and includes tiny pine trees, glowing windows, and mini icicles shaped and placed by hand for accuracy.

See how film snow works

See labelled tubs of Filmbase paper snow, powdered salt, and plastic crystal blends used for exterior shots. Displays include notes from special effects supervisor John Richardson and texture samples showing how snow types varied between Hogsmeade, forest scenes, and castle rooftops.

Get exclusive Christmas souvenirs

The seasonal shop features Hogwarts house stockings, tree toppers, baubles, and limited-edition replicas like the Yule Ball goblet and themed knitwear. Many items are only available during winter, making them perfect for collectors or festive gifting.

Snack on seasonal treats and meals

Enjoy Butterbeer and festive treats like Christmas pudding cupcakes, turkey sandwiches, and mince pies from the Food Hall. Some evenings feature seated Great Hall dinners with roast meals, themed canapés, and photo ops at festively dressed sets after hours.

Participate in the Yule activities

Take part in a dance demonstration inspired by the Yule Ball scene, learn simple choreography used in Goblet of Fire, and see costumes worn by Harry, Hermione, and Viktor Krum up close in a special display beside the Great Hall.

Diagon Alley

Snow clings to cobbled stones, icicles hang from crooked shop signs, and fairy lights glow across frosted windows. From Weasleys’ Wizard Wheezes & Ollivanders to Flourish and Blotts & Quality Quidditch Supplies, the entire street feels transformed, with wreaths, garlands, and Christmas trees adding festive detail to this beloved wizarding shopping spot.

Forbidden Forest

Step between towering, snow-dusted trees where frosty branches shimmer and low mist drifts across the forest floor. Look out for sparkling icicles overhead and festive touches near Hagrid’s Hut, which is trimmed with greenery and lights. Subtle forest sounds add to the winter atmosphere.

Hagrid’s hut

Outside, the roof is capped in snow and wrapped in soft lights. Inside, the table is set, the hearth glows, and props like dragon eggs, cauldrons, and Fang’s basket remain in place—now surrounded by subtle decorations that reflect Hagrid’s simple, cosy holiday spirit.

A historic Christmas for Potterheads

With the new HBO Harry Potter series premiering on December 25, 2026, there’s no better time to walk through the real Great Hall set that started it all.

Experience Hogwarts in the Snow in person, marvel at the authentic props and costumes, and immerse yourself in the Wizarding World where film history was made.

Pro tip: Combine your Studio Tour ticket with round-trip transfers or a central London hotel stay to make it the ultimate festive holiday getaway.
