Nobody does Christmas quite like Hogwarts, but don’t just take our word for it, experience it for yourself as Hogwarts in the Snow and Dinner in the Great Hall are both set to return to Warner Bros. Studio Tour London – The Making of Harry Potter later this year.
Running from 15th November 2025 to 18th January 2026, Hogwarts in the Snow has become a Christmas classic. This year is set to be truly spectacular, with the focus on the festivities seen in Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire, which can only mean one thing… the Yule Ball!
If you step into the Great Hall, you’ll find the front stage has been transformed to recreate the Yule Ball in all its wintry wonder... complete with some suitably icy instruments. The rest of the set will leave you feeling festive too – from the Christmas trees lightly dusted with snow, to the Hogwarts house tables groaning under the weight of a magnificent feast.
The Great Hall isn’t the only set to have a winter revamp – the Forbidden Forest, Diagon Alley and Gryffindor common room will all be dressed in their Christmas finest, complete with twinkling icicles, a few favourite seasonal props and snow.
Speaking of which, there will also be the opportunity to uncover the filmmaking secrets of how the snow and ice – which doesn’t melt and still crunches underfoot – were created for the films.
Fans can also send a festive note to fellow witches and wizards with Christmas cards available to decorate from Platform 9 ¾ beside the original Hogwarts Express.
Finally, and something we are particularly excited about, this year’s Hogwarts in the Snow feature includes a special spotlight on our favourite half-giant, Hagrid. Take in the must-see demonstration which reveals the filmmaking magic that helped bring him to life – including a close-up look at the animatronic head used in the films and a behind-the-scenes view of the memorable snowy scene where Hagrid pulled a huge Christmas tree through the Hogwarts grounds.
Dinner in the Great Hall
And the festive fun does not stop there! The Studio Tour has an extra Christmassy treat up its sleeves to make sure you have a very Harry Christmas…
Yes! Dinner in the Great Hall will be returning for 2025. Enjoy a mouthwatering two-course festive feast, as you soak up the atmosphere beneath the twinkling decorations, before moving to Platform 9 ¾ for the most important course of all – pudding. Finish off your delightful evening with exclusive after-hours access to the Studio Tour in all its wintry splendour.
This delicious dinner will be hosted on the evenings of 8th, 9th and 10th December, with a special family dinner in the Great Hall, suitable for all ages, on 5th December.
Tickets for Dinner in the Great Hall go on sale on 26th June 2025.
All tickets must be pre-booked, and all features are included in the ticket price. All the details, including tickets, can be found on the Warner Bros. Studio Tour London website.
