Bring Your Family to Christmas Dinner at Hogwarts

Don your matching Christmas sweaters and arrive in the Lobby for a prosecco or sparkling elderflower drink and canapés reception. Enter the Great Hall, where you will sit at round tables in the authentic set, dressed for Christmas with with an enchanting Yule Ball display on the stage and the long Hogwarts house tables featuring the end-of-term Christmas banquet as seen on-screen in Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone, flaming puddings included. A Christmas cracker will be provided on each place setting, giving adults a chance to share their terrible Christmas dinner jokes, before digging into a delicious two-course dinner.

During your exclusive after-hours time in the Studio Tour, spot the hand-drawn Christmas cards the cast and crew made during filming, which are still used to decorate the sets for Christmas at the Studio Tour.

A misting drink awaits you at the Potions Classroom before you enter a dark Forbidden Forest covered in snow. Pick out one perfect souvenir gift from the Christmas shop at the end of the forest before you stop at Platform 9 ¾ to enjoy a selection of dessert canapés and a drink in front of the Hogwarts Express locomotive train.

A refreshing Butterbeer will be served in a souvenir tankard in the Backlot Café as you explore the outdoor sets in the Backlot before you walk up the wizarding high street – Diagon Alley. Learn how three various materials were used by filmmakers to cover the sets with snow that never melts, glistens under the camera lights, and crunches well enough to look and sound convincing on-screen.

You can also discover how the magnificent Hogwarts Castle model used in the films was meticulously covered in snow during filming, a process still used today. Each year during the Hogwarts in the Snow feature, the same team are known to hide a snowman on the model which only the most keen-eyed among you will locate.

To top the night off, all Hogwarts students will depart home for the holidays with a bag* filled with wizarding world goodies.
