First introduced in 2024, enchanting countless visitors, the special winter event Hogwarts in the Snow returns to Warner Bros. Studio Tour Tokyo – now on an even grander scale.
Enter the Great Hall, with lavish gold decorations inspired by Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone.
Towering Christmas trees, roast potatoes, turkeys and glowing garlands – recreating the iconic end-of-term feast, draw visitors into a warm and magical holiday world.
For the first time at Studio Tour Tokyo, more than 400 floating candles will decorate the enchanted ceiling of the Great Hall.
