What you can see and do

The entrance is the flying Ford angler car and as you proceed down the stairs, you have a swirl of acceptance to Hogwarts letter and Harry’s letter.

While in the exhibition you will see all your favourites including Hagrids Huts, Gringotts Bank, Dumbledores Office, Diagon Alley etc, then you move into Fantastic Beasts and the Ministry of Magic with photo and film footage and behind the scenes images of all that has been mentioned. Film clips playing which heighten the experience hearing voices of your favourite wizards.

There is the chance to sit on a broom with a green screen behind and to get a ministry of magic pass, whichever or both and the chance to purchase there memories which range from £15 up.

For all Potterheads, the opportunity to delight in the wizarding worlds liquor of butterbeer, which comes in at £4.95 at the Butterbeer Bar.

Traveltaggers Top Tip

Make sure you haven’t got lots of bags / luggage as there is no where to store and as we had a rucksack filled with what we needed for an overnight stay, it was weird experience at the bag search.
