Experience the most magical snowfall of the season as the breathtaking Hogwarts castle model is covered in a blanket of snow. Originally due to be removed on Sunday 6th January 2014, the snow will now stay until Sunday 2nd February 2014, offering even more visitors the incredible opportunity to see the breathtaking model’s festive makeover up close.
And some more facts for you ...
The artificial snow used on the Hogwarts castle model throughout the Harry Potter film series was actually dendritic salt. It was chosen because it clumps like snow and even squeaks when walked on. During filming, a member of the crew would have climbed aboard a cherry picker and put salt on the model by hand with a sieve – like dusting sugar onto a cake. The same process was used at the Studio Tour this November and samples of the different types of salt used will also be on display.
