Halloween in Hogwarts

Important Information About the Event

The Warner Bros. Studios in London are already on the bucket lists of all Harry Potter fans, but the event that takes place over three evenings in October is sure to generate even more excitement. During this time, the film set of the Great Hall, which we know all too well from the films, transforms into an extraordinary Harry Potter Halloween scene.

This year's event will take place on October 25, 26, and 27, starting each evening at 7:30 PM.

At the beginning of the Hogwarts After Dark event, you will be served steaming cocktails and delicious canapés before finally entering the Great Hall through a red carpet, which is decorated for Halloween in true Hogwarts style with floating pumpkins, candles, and candy. There you will be treated to a true feast. A special menu that is no less tempting has always been available for vegetarians and vegans in the past.

After dinner, things will get spooky as you will confidently enter the gloomy Forbidden Forest, where the Hippogriff Buckbeak and the giant spider Aragog are already waiting for you.

But be careful not only of the spiders but also of the masked Death Eaters who roam the studios all evening, adding a particularly dark touch to the Harry Potter Halloween event. Luckily, magic choreographer Paul Harris is there to help you learn how to wield your wand to stand your ground in the duel with the Death Eaters.

Get Tickets and Spend a Spooky Halloween

Does this sound like a Halloween you would enjoy? Then you should mark your calendar for next year's Halloween in Hogwarts event. Tickets for the Halloween event typically sell out very quickly each year, as they did this year. The price for the coveted tickets was £240, which is about $320 per person.

If you want to get tickets next year, you should regularly check for them starting in August. As soon as there is information for the next year, you will read about it in this article.

The Warner Bros. Studio Tour London is Always Worth It

The price for the Halloween event is quite steep, but I believe there will be many Harry Potter fans willing to spend this amount to immerse themselves in the magical world of Halloween in Hogwarts again this year. If you can't or don't want to participate in the event, I still recommend a trip to the studios. Regular tickets cost around $50 for adults and $43 for children (5-15 years) and allow you to admire many of the original props and locations from the Harry Potter films and receive exciting background information. If you combine your tour with a round trip from London so you don't have to worry about your own transportation, you can get it from about $128. In my travel magazine, you can find everything about the Harry Potter Studio Tour in London.

No matter whether you choose the regular tickets or an unforgettable Halloween in Hogwarts - with the right London offer, nothing stands in the way of your Harry Potter adventure. By the way, I sometimes even have great Harry Potter deals, so it's worth checking my site regularly.
