The six Harry Potter™ Studio events will teleport you to the magical world of Harry Potter, giving you a taste of dinner with Death Eaters, a lesson in Dark Arts or Potions and also a ride on the Hogwarts Express. Are you ready?
Get an exclusive look at the broomsticks in the Quality Quidditch Supplies and make your way through the dusty stacks of wands at Ollivanders.

The Weasley's storefront featuring the 20-foot mannequin took over 3 months to be built so make sure to pay a visit.
