Following the success of last year, Hogwarts After Dark is officially back at the Warner Bros Studios The Making of Harry Potter.
It’s back! Hogwarts After Dark is officially back this year and better than ever. Held at the Warner Bros Studios The Making of Harry Potter, the event will be held on Friday 26th, Saturday 27th and Sunday 28th October.
Over 18’s only, this is one event you can’t bring the little ones along to and that’s for good reason. Hogwarts After Dark is not for the feint hearted. Death Eaters will be roaming around, the Forbidden Forest is open for exploration, and there are cocktails; lots of spooky cocktails.

Hogwarts After Dark took place last year and it was undeniably a huge success. The adult only event gave the chance for Harry Potter fans to have a spooky twist on Halloween and they hope to make it just as successful, maybe even better, than last year.

Everything you do during Hogwarts After Dark is exclusive. Your banquet in the Great Hall will be like nothing else. Floating Pumpkins just like in the Harry Potter films will be set up. A Halloween feast that Ron Weasley would approve of will also be served.
After your feast, you will be taking a tour of the Forbidden Forest. The Forbidden Forest is newly opened so hardly anyone has been there before, but you will be doing it by lantern light and will have dessert in the middle of the forest with creatures such as Buckbeak and Aragog.
Death Eaters will be roaming around in original prop costumes, you will learn wand dueling from the wand duelling choreographer of Harry Potter itself, and best of all, the entire Harry Potter tour is pretty much empty; meaning, no long lines, nobody ruining your photos, etc.
So yes, it is a hefty price to pay, but one that is by no means a rip off.
