It is the first time that Diagon Alley is being covered in snow, as part of the annual Hogwarts in the Snow event.

Other Christmassy events include the Great Hall, which will be decorated in wreaths and garlands with the tables set as if for a festive feast, similar to the scenes in the Philosopher's Stone film.

The Hogwarts Castle model will also be decorated in snow, while the Gryffindor Common Room and boys dorm will also include handmade Christmas cards from the cast which were made during production.

Running from November 14, 2020 to January 17, 2021, you can buy tickets for the event now.

Pre-booking is mandatory with new coronavirus procedures having limited daily capacity.

Sadly, the Christmas "Dinner in the Great Hall" event won't be running this year for the first time due to the pandemic.

Currently running at the Harry Potter attraction is A Celebration of Slytherin, which has been extended until November 12.

For the first time, guests can visit the common room built to look like a dungeon, where the room is found in the books, with hand-crafted tapestries telling the story of Slytherin's history.

Real props and furniture are included, such as the large fireplace where Ron's Polyjuice potion wore off in their second year at Hogwarts.
