How to Have a Harry Potter Halloween at a Real-life Hogwarts (Video) Harry Potter fans looking for a one-of-a-kind Halloween experience are invited to visit some of the most iconic sets used in the films and enjoy a multi-course meal filled with behind-the-scenes experiences this year. The Warner Bros. Studio Tour London—The Making of Harry Potter, which introduces visitors to sets, special effects, and secrets from the popular film series, is bringing back its Halloween event for three evenings only. The Hogwarts After Dark events will take place on Friday, Oct. 26, Saturday, Oct. 27, and Sunday, Oct. 28, inviting guests over the age of 18 to enter the park after hours from 7:30 p.m. through midnight. The exclusive celebration will start off with spooky cocktails adorned with smoking dry ice and canapés before visitors enter the Great Hall to enjoy a two-course dinner and drinks. The hall will be adorned with more than 100 pumpkins, modeled after those in Hagrid’s pumpkin patch in “Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban,” that float in the air just like in the films. Each of the long tables, which seat 10 to 12 guests, will be topped with red apples, pumpkins, and lollipop cauldrons, while original props and costumes from the series will also fill the space. The Halloween-themed dinner menu will consists of starters like smoked duck with a pumpkin puree and blood orange jelly and vegetarian options like goat cheese ravioli with roasted squash and pumpkin seed granola, while main courses include a roasted lamb loin and shoulder and a vegetable pudding.

Afterwards, they’ll be invited to explore the studio and sets like the Gyffindor common room and the Weasleys' kitchen before learning secrets about the films from the prop department and learning wand moves for a live battle with Death Eaters.

If you can’t make the Halloween events, as tickets tend to sell out fast, the studio will be hosting its Dark Arts tours from Sep. 28 through Nov. 10, offering the same Death Eater tours, décor in the Great Hall, and studio tours during regular hours.<doc-sep>Harry Potter fans can now spend Halloween at Hogwarts and it sounds spellbinding Calling all muggles. If you've ever wondered what it would be like to sneak into Hogwarts after dark, then we've got some siriusly good news for you. Advertisement Warner Bros. Studio Tour London has issued an invite to all would-be wizards and witches to their Hogwarts After Dark events - and it sounds simply spellbinding. Guests will be treated to an enchanting Hallowe'en experience, engining with smoking cocktails and canapés - before moving to the Great Hall (which will be decorated with floating pumpkins, of course) for a two course meal. Dessert will be dished up in the Forbidden Forest, alongside magical creatures like Buckbeack and Aragog - provided you follow the spiders, that is. Then, there will be the chance to stroll through some of the most iconic sets from the eight films - including the Ministry of Magic, Gryffindor common room and the Weasley family's kitchen in the Burrow (just to name a few). If you're feeling up for the challenge, you can even take on a Death Eater in a live duel - although we'd advise learning the wand combat moves from Wand Choreographer, Paul Harris, first. Enjoy a refreshing Butterbeer - and some sweets from Honeydukes - as you stroll through Diagon Alley...just make sure to watch out for Death Eaters. Advertisement Sound good so far? The event takes place on Friday, October 26; Saturday, October 27; Sunday, October 28 from 7.30pm until midnight - and are open only to those age 18 and over. You'll have to be quick if you want to snap up a ticket, though - as we reckon these are going to fly out quicker than you can say Accio, Pumpkin Juice. Each ticket is priced at £240 and they go on sale at 10am on Tuesday, August 28. Advertisement You can get more information here.<doc-sep>
Harry Potter fans can now spend Halloween at Hogwarts and it sounds magical Harry Potter fans will love this. Throughout the course of the Harry Potter films, the saga got progressively darker and despite the fact that it's a family friendly franchise, there were some pretty grim moments. We're thinking about Voldemort returning and that scene at the grave, Aragog terrifying Ron, the Basilisk from the Chamber of Secrets, the Dementors. Oh yeah, the whole story also revolves around a child that saw his own mother being murdered in front of his eyes. Happy stuff. On that note, the mix of Halloween and Harry Potter sounds like heaven for most people and you don't even need an invisible cloak to get into this party. Following last year’s incredibly popular event, all witches, wizards and Muggles are allowed to attend a Halloween party that's set in the Hogwarts Great Hall in Warner Bros. Studio, London. Expecto cocktails and canapés because that's how the evening will kick-off before guests get to step onto the red carpet and walk through the doors of the wizarding school and into the Great Hall – which will be completely transformed for Halloween. The Great Hall will be decorated with over 100 floating pumpkins, just like that scene in Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone, and the long tables will be brimming with pumpkins, butterbeer, and cauldrons of lollipops. After stepping into the actual Great Hall set that was used for filming, there's going to be a two-course dinner and drinks surrounded by the original props and costumes. No word yet if the house elves will be preparing that meal though. Desert will be served in The Forbidden Forest and you'll be able to eat in the company of magical creatures like Buckbeak the Hippogriff and Aragog the Acromantula. Be warned though, Death Eaters will be roaming the Tour and you'll get the chance to duel with them. After dinner, guests can explore the Studio Tour after hours and wander sets like the Gryffindor common room and the Weasley’s kitchen from The Burrow. The Studio Tour’s ‘Hogwarts after Dark’ events will take place on Friday 26, Saturday 27 and Sunday 28 October from 7,30pm until midnight and are open to over 18s only.
