Interested in playing Quidditch or climbing the Grand Staircase at Hogwarts?
Harry Potter fans can soon encounter the magic of wizarding world as the interactive Harry Potter experience is coming to Abu Dhabi Mall.
Celebrate Hogwarts
A recreation of popular Harry Potter film settings will be featured at the ‘Celebrate Hogwarts’ experience at Abu Dhabi mall, during the back-to-school season, September 9 through October 4.
There are a range of Harry Potter-inspired installations at the Celebrate Hogwarts experience. Visitors will get the chance to climb Hogwarts’s moving staircases, take a seat in the Gryffindor common room and pay Hagrid’s hut a visit.
You will also get witness a life-sized recreation of the iconic Hogwarts Express train, chuffing its way out of platform 9 and 3/4, and most forbiddingly, take a walk through the Forbidden Forest – the whomping willow’s stomping ground.
Love Quidditch? Test your balance on a broom, and play a quick game of quidditch here!
The most dedicated Potter fans can test their knowledge on the weekends, as there will be Harry Potter Trivia Quizzes, and fun games will be set up throughout the activation.
So why wait?! Get in the mood for Hogwarts by heading over to Celebrate Hogwarts Experience in Abu Dhabi.
