‘Hogwarts Magical Night – Winter Magic’ returns to Universal Studios Japan

The Wizarding World of Harry Potter at Universal Studios Japan is celebrating its fifth anniversary with the return of “Hogwarts Magical Night – Winter Magic” this month.

Starting Nov. 8, The Wizarding World will get even more magical with Christmas-inspired décor, seasonal entertainment, and more.

A mystical story will unfold with “Hogwarts Magical Night – Winter Magic,” a projection mapping show on the facade of Hogwarts Castle. During the show, four students will celebrate the season by casting a spell that conjures presents, snowmen, and wintery scenes.

In Hogsmeade Village, guests will be able to cast a spell on a Christmas tree that will illuminate ornaments or move them around. The entire village will be filled with holiday decorations that evoke the Wizarding World’s style. Guests can see special décor adorn Three Broomsticks and Honeyduke’s, as well as village landmarks like the clock tower. Hot Butterbeer will make a return to warm guests up during the chilly holiday season, as well as holiday feasts at Three Broomsticks.

As for entertainment, guests can enjoy the sounds of the Holiday Frog Choir, comprised of four Hogwarts students and their frogs, singing Christmas songs from the Wizarding World.
