Harry Potter Nox Coming to Warner Bros. Studio Tour for Halloween

Wands at the ready: witches and wizards are invited to turn off the lights at Nox, a new Halloween night event coming to Warner Bros. Studio Tour London – The Making of Harry Potter. On October 31st, the Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry will welcome visitors into the Great Hall for Nox: One Night Marked by Darkness. Named after Nox — the wand-extinguishing charm that counters the wand-lighting spell Lumos — Harry Potter fans will “spell-ebrate” Halloween and fend off Death Eaters during the one-night-only event. Wizarding World super-fans Adriana Redding and Jake Lovelady announced the experience during Friday’s Back to Hogwarts 2023 – A Look Ahead showcase.

Nox: One Night Marked by Darkness will feature floating pumpkins decor, canapés, themed cocktails, and for the first time, a choice of pop-up bars and food stations where tour visitors can purchase a range of drinks and dishes throughout the Studio Tour backlot. But beware: Voldemort’s Death Eaters are lurking around every corner, cloaked in darkness.

Tickets are available exclusively to members of the official Harry Potter Fan Club (signing up is free) and go on sale September 6th at WBStudioTour.Co.UK.
