GRAB YOUR BROOMSTICKS: This airport just transformed into a magical Harry Potter wonderland.

 

Heading overseas this Christmas? You might be in luck.

Singapore’s Changi Airport has been transformed into a magical Harry Potter wonderland and we’re obsessed.

Rather than decorating the airport’s terminals with the usual Christmas trees and tinsel, Changi Airport has teamed up with Warner Bros to transform its various terminals into spellbinding sets from the Harry Potter and Fantastic Beasts book and film series.

Four life-sized sets have been constructed across Changi Airport’s three terminals, including Hogsmeade Village, Diagon Alley, the Whomping Willow and Newt Scamander’s Menagerie, which was featured in the newly released Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald.

With snow capped rooftops and of course, the Hogwarts Express, Hogsmeade Village looks particularly magical.

Not only does the set feature replicas of shops like Zonko's Joke Shop and Honeydukes, there's also daily snow and light shows.

Diagon Alley also provides airport visitors a chance to dress up as a wizard, learn some spells or practice riding on a broomstick.

And don't forget to keep some space in your carry on luggage – Changi Airport will also be stocking loads of Harry Potter merchandise over the summer break.

Changi Airport's Harry Potter installations will be exhibited from November 16, 2018 to mid-February 2019.
