Want to visit all your favourite locations from the Harry Potter films? There’s no need to jump on the Hogwarts Express… yet.
You’re in for a treat as the Celebrate Hogwarts Experience finally arrived at Abu Dhabi Mall to celebrate the new school term.
Have you always dreamed of walking up the Grand Staircase at Hogwarts? Or test your bravery exploring the Forbidden Forest? (We’ll leave this one to you.)
For a whole month, fans of Harry Potter of all ages are invited to visit a series of installations at the Celebrate Hogwarts Experience Abu Dhabi. Each installation is inspired by some of the most recognisable locations from the blockbuster Harry Potter films.
Upon entering the Celebrate Hogwarts Experience, you’ll get up close with the recreation of the Hogwarts Express train and get the opportunity to try your hand at the Quaffle Toss to see how many points you can score into the hoops.
You’ll also get the chance to walk through and take one-of-a-kind photos in the famous Hogwarts Common Room and mooch around Hagrid’s hut.
Love Quidditch? You can now sit on a broom and test your balance and concoct a potion so you can pretend that you aren’t a muggle for a day.
There will also be replicas of Hogwarts’ moving staircases with a hall of portraits alongside Dumbledore’s office.
