The Christmas dinners in the Harry Potter books and movies were always magical and delicious-looking. And now you don't have to suffer through the Potions class to enjoy them yourself. For the first time ever, the Warner Brothers studio tour in London is offering a fancy dinner in its own reconstructed Hogwarts. On December 3, guests will have dinner surrounded by the original decoration from Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone, and each person will get their own wand at their table. According to CNN, the menu includes ham, roast turkey, and veggie options like lasagna and fruit salad. After dinner, guests will head to Platform 9 ¾ for dessert, and to a nearby cafe for drinks. Then, the wizarding world will transform into a dance party for the rest of the night. The ticket price might require breaking into Gringotts Bank, though, as each seat costs £230 ($349). Hogwarts might be free for students, but not for visitors. Sadly, the event sold out nearly immediately due to "overwhelming demand," but that doesn't mean you have to miss it. The studios will be completely decorated with Christmas ornaments for its "Hogwarts in the Snow" event from November 13 to January 31. If you visit then, you can see the Great Hall, the Gryffindor common room, and the outside of Hogwarts castle in full holiday cheer. Do you live in the States? The Universal Studios theme parks, which have entire sections dedicated to Harry Potter, will be holding a celebration from January 29 to 31—and it'll be far warmer there than in England. We know what we're putting at the top of our holiday wish lists this year!
