Hogwarts in the Snow

Experience Christmas in the Wizarding World as Hogwarts in the Snow returns to the Studio Tour. The festive transformation will begin in the Great Hall, which will be lined with Christmas trees decked with golden baubles and topped with witches on miniature broomsticks. The long dining tables will be dressed as they were for seasonal feasts at Hogwarts, complete with Christmas puddings surrounded by real flames.

Discover how filmmakers created snow that never melts and flames without fire as you get hands-on with the different types of filmmaking ‘snow’, each selected for its ability to float like falling snow, crunch under foot, or glisten in the light like ice. As you make your way around the Studio Tour, look out for the ‘lit’ fireplaces and discover how the fire was created on-screen by the Special Effects team using a combination of water vapor and lighting effects.
