Winter has arrived at Hogwarts. Glittering Christmas trees line the Great Hall and a replica festive feast including flaming Christmas puddings is laid out on the long tables. Special-effect fires roar in the fireplaces, the Gryffindor common room is filled with Christmas treats and the detailed castle model is covered in a special blanket of snow. Christmas gifts, including Harry’s Invisibility Cloak and Molly Weasley’s hand-knitted jumpers, are also put out on display.

Get up close to props, costumes and models used in the Harry Potter films, and take a look around the studio’s famous movie sets decorated as they were for the festive scenes. Plus, discover how artificial snow and ice are created, and how special-effect fires are controlled on set.
