November 18th through January 6th (November 24th in Hollywood) the Wizarding Worlds will be getting a classic Potter Christmas make-over, the parks transforming the various wizard-filled areas into holiday scenes straight from the books!

Take a stroll down the streets of London and enjoy brilliant lighting and festive tunes, grab a mug of butterbeer at King's Cross Station, or go Christmas gift shopping in Hogsmeade.

One of the biggest, and most anticipated, features at both park locations is the new digital projection mapping used on the Hogwarts castles, the projections showing holiday scenes from the movies to top off a perfect Potter night!
