Warner Bros. Studio Tour Tokyo is set to enchant fans once again with a captivating special event titled "An Invitation from Hogwarts," coinciding with the 25th anniversary of the film "Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone." Kicking off on March 18, 2026, and running until September 6, 2026, this event promises to take visitors on a journey through the magical world that has captivated millions worldwide.

Since the film's release in 2001, derived from J.K. Rowling's best-selling novel, the magic captured on screen has become a global phenomenon. For many, it all began with a letter arriving for an 11-year-old boy named Harry Potter, marking the start of a life-changing adventure into the realm of wizardry. This event will allow fans to relive that moment where Harry first discovers his magical potential.

The essence of the event is not only to celebrate the history of the franchise but to offer attendees an immersive experience in the world of Hogwarts. Visitors will encounter the iconic Great Hall, where the Sorting Hat ceremony will take place. During the event, the Great Hall will transform into the stage for the Sorting Ceremony, featuring the Sorting Hat and beloved characters such as Professor Dumbledore. Fans will feel a rush of nostalgia as they hear the names of the four houses—Gryffindor, Slytherin, Ravenclaw, and Hufflepuff—invoking memories of their favorite scenes from the films.

In addition to the Sorting Ceremony, guests will also experience the warmth and excitement of Hogwarts’ welcome feast, complete with ghosts adding flair to this remarkable reunion. The visual backdrop of the film will come alive as attendees immerse themselves in the magic that serves as a gateway to the wizarding world.

The Secrets Behind the Magic

As part of "An Invitation from Hogwarts," visitors will have the opportunity to explore the filmmaking magic behind the scenes. The event will unravel how iconic elements like Harry’s invisible cloak were created for the screen—an essential item for Harry throughout his adventures. It becomes apparent how the films brought the intricate details of the wizarding world to life.

The event will showcase various materials and shooting techniques that were used in key moments, including Hermione’s enchanting spell in Herbology class that made feathers float. Attendees will discover behind-the-scenes stories of beloved giant Hagrid, revealing what went into bringing these characters to life.

Visitors will pass through the transformative experiences that Harry faced, encountering moving staircases and magical portraits, as they explore iconic locations such as Diagon Alley and the Quidditch pitch. These environments are crafted with love and attention to detail, allowing fans to step into the shoes of their favorite characters.
