Harry Potter Fans Can Eat Christmas Dinner at Hogwarts Great Hall

Fans of the Harry Potter movies wishing to experience a different Christmas this year are being given the chance to visit Hogwarts and dine in the magical school's Great Hall.

The Warner Bros Studio Tour in London has allowed fans to visit the sets of the Harry Potter series for some time. But now a special holiday event is being laid on, with food, drink, and dancing all happening in the huge Hall where Harry and friends ate dinner. The Warner Tour website provides more details:

The Hogwarts dining room will be dressed for the occasion with the original props used in Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone, including flaming Christmas puddings and hams studded with cherries. A wand will be waiting for you at your table and you’ll enjoy the first two courses of a delicious Christmas dinner with all the trimmings on the authentic set.

The after-dinner experience includes the full studio tour, dessert by the Hogwarts Express, pints of Butterbeer in the backlot cafe, and a stroll up Diagon Alley.

The whole thing doesn't come cheap-- it's £230 ($350)--and the event is now sold out. But for fans who have been unable to lay their hands on tickets, the studio will also be running a "Hogwarts in the Snow" exhibition from mid-November until the end of January.
