Cementing its title as the world’s favourite passenger terminal, Singapore’s Changi Airport has launched an elaborate Harry Potter-themed exhibition that is entirely free for travellers.

From November 2018 until mid-February 2019, visitors at Changi can embark on a journey inspired by J.K. Rowling’s Harry Potter and Fantastic Beasts stories and films series as they experience the airport’s annual festive campaign. A first-of-its-kind collaboration with Warner Bros in Singapore, the exhibit offers fans the chance to explore a large-scale re-creation of Hogsmeade Village, dress up as a wizard, learn how to cast a spell, and practice their Quidditch skills at A Wizarding World Holiday at Changi.

Four life-sized setups are spread across the airport’s three terminals, all inspired by some of the most iconic locations seen in the Harry Potter and Fantastic Beasts films, such as Hogsmeade Village, Diagon Alley, the Whomping Willow (found on the grounds at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry), and Newt Scamander’s Menagerie as seen in the new film, Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald.
