What are the interesting places to visit?<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

As you enter the factory gates, you can get your own passport at the information desk and then go through the postmark machines at each of the seven venues – Gryffindor, Quidditch, Voldemort, Nine and Three Quarters, Elf Bank, Diagon Alley, and Hogwarts Castle – to collect your stamps in turn. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

First, you’ll arrive in an atmospheric hall where staff explain the dos and don’ts and watch an interactive film, and once that’s all done, the doors to the Wizarding World are about to open before you, and welcome to the Christmas-themed Hogwarts Ballroom!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
