Harry Potter studio plans Valentine's Day banquet
If you or your date happen to be a Harry Potter fan, this is one charms class you do not want to miss. The Warner Bros Harry Potter Studio Tour in London is planning a "magical" Valentine's Day banquet at its Hogwarts set.
The doors to the Great Hall will be opened to couples as well as singles on 13 and 14 February for a three-course dinner. The menu would feature smoked salmon mousse crowned with home-cured gravlax and Hertfordshire lamb rack, while the main course would include confit shoulder with rosemary and garlic potato fondant, grilled asparagus and red wine jus. There is a vegetarian menu as well.
Three dessert options will be available including Valrhona chocolate pavé with pistachio nut crumb and mango crème Chantilly. If you're looking to fall in love, there is a special Love Potion cocktail that will be served along with wines to compliment the dishes.
Guests can also avail of an after-hours tour of the studio where the Potter franchise was filmed. While waiting for the Hogwart's Express, you can explore Platform 9 ¾ and enjoy some after-dinner tea or coffee along with chocolates.
A visit to Dumbledor's office, the Griffindor common room and Weasley's kitchen are all part of the tour. You can also try out some butter beer while in Diagon Alley and maybe, go window shopping. And by the end of the night, all guests receive their very own "magic" wand.
But we recommend you first make a visit to Gringotts Bank because this dinner date is not cheap. Tickets for a couple are priced at £495 ($714) while tickets for singles cost £247.5.
