Even if you aren’t a huge fan of the series or have a phobia of floating candles, you would probably jump at the chance to dive into the world of Harry Potter and dine in Hogwarts for a day.
That’s exactly what you’re getting this Christmas as anyone with a seriously loose wallet will be able to enjoy an authentic Great Hall meal at the Warner Bros. Studio Tour in London. For one night only, its doors will open from 6pm to midnight on December 3rd, 2015.
According to its official website:
The Hogwarts dining room will be dressed for the occasion with the original props used in Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone, including flaming Christmas puddings and hams studded with cherries. A wand will be waiting for you at your table and you’ll enjoy the first two courses of a delicious Christmas dinner with all the trimmings on the authentic set (vegetarian option also available).
After dinner, you’ll be able to:
Explore the Studio Tour, admiring sets such as the Gryffindor common room and the Weasley’s kitchen at The Burrow, which will also be dressed as they were for winter scenes.
Enjoy a selection of three festive dessert bowls on Platform 9 ¾, alongside the original Hogwarts Express.
Drink Butterbeer in the backlot café and walk up the wizarding shopping street, Diagon Alley, before taking in the breathtaking Hogwarts castle model (covered in a layer of filmmaking snow especially for the festive season).
Finish the evening with music and dancing, with a bar provided for those who wish to purchase additional drinks.
Before you run off and try to buy some tickets, you might want to consider the price. At a cost of $350 (£230) per head, it isn’t exactly cheap and might mean that you have to skip buying a Christmas present for that uncle you don’t really like anyway. What a shame.
