Experience the Magic of Hogwarts in Winter with 2025’s Hogwarts in the Snow

Hogwarts in the Snow Event at Warner Bros. Studio Tour Tokyo

Get ready for a magical winter adventure at the Warner Bros. Studio Tour Tokyo – The Making of Harry Potter! From November 8, 2025, to January 12, 2026, fans can immerse themselves in the holiday spirit with the special event 'Hogwarts in the Snow'. This enchanting experience celebrates the festive season through the iconic scenes from the Harry Potter series, particularly those that take place within the Hogwarts castle.

Last year marked the first time this festive celebration was held in Japan, and it was met with overwhelming enthusiasm. With stunning decorations that evoke the warm and magical atmosphere of the wizarding world, this year’s event promises to be even more spectacular. Imaginations will light up as visitors walk through the Great Hall, brilliantly illuminated by over 400 floating candles, reminiscent of the classic scenes from the movies. The Great Hall will be adorned with vibrant ornaments and a grand Christmas tree towering over five meters high, creating an unforgettable holiday ambience.

This edition of 'Hogwarts in the Snow' also features an upgraded visual experience—introducing projection mapping on the model of Hogwarts Castle, where falling snow transforms the atmosphere into a magical winter wonderland. Another highlight for this year is the Diagon Alley, which for the first time will be covered in snow, extending the magic beyond just Hogwarts to the entire wizarding community. Fans can look forward to experiencing 'Winter Magic' in various recreated locations throughout the studio, including the cozy Gryffindor common room, where the spirit of Christmas will come alive through festive decorations and heartfelt touches.

A Magical Winter Awaits

The event is inspired by the Christmas season celebrated in the Harry Potter saga, where Hogwarts is often depicted in a snowy landscape. Last year, the beautiful model of Hogwarts castle captured audience admiration, and this year, visitors will enjoy the additional dynamic visual effects of snow continuously falling around them. Attendees will be transported to a scene straight out of the Harry Potter films, making it a unique and breathtaking experience.

Each area of the event is designed to strike a chord with both die-hard fans and newcomers alike. As fans stroll through the snow-covered settings, they can relive cherished memories from the series, such as Harry, Ron, and Hermione’s joyful moments together in Hogsmeade and the magical decorations of the Great Hall during the holiday season.

In addition to the physical experience, the Warner Bros. Studio Tour Tokyo is also launching a special Christmas Collection for 2025. Available now, this collection offers cozy wear like sweaters and pajamas featuring beautifully crafted ornaments reflecting the whimsy and nostalgia of Hogwarts during the holiday season.
