A Harry Potter Christmas

To celebrate Christmas, Hogwarts’ Great Hall will receive Yule Ball decorations, with Christmas trees covered in snow and an orchestra equipped with magical instruments, as seen in Goblet of Fire. The tables will be adorned with props similar to the films’, like turkeys, ham and Christmas pudding.

The Gryffindor common room will be decorated for Christmas, which will include Christmas cards, some of which were created by the cast members during production. The fireplaces spread around the studio will remain lit with the artificial fires developed for the filming.

Lastly, a layer of scenic snow will be added to the Hogwarts scale model. During filming, a crew member sprinkled an artificial mix on top of the piece to create the necessary effect. During the tour, visitors will be able to touch samples of the different types of ‘snow’ used during production
