The Fantastical Tour, a Unique, Immersive Wizarding Experience, Is Back for Summer 2019!
Missed out on last year’s totally immersive trip through England and Scotland? Good news – the Fantastical Tour is back in July 2019! From July 14 to July 21, you can visit Harry Potter filming locations, stay in a real castle, get Sorted into a House, visit House of MinaLima, and so much more.
The Fantastical Tour is unique because it offers much more than a trip to various Potter-relevant sites – although that would be exciting enough. In addition to offering the chance to visit historical Potter locations, you also get the chance to live your best wizarding life through the Tour’s immersive format.
While traveling to visit all the filming sights from the ‘Harry Potter’ and ‘Fantastic Beasts’ movies, you’ll be introduced to characters and surprises at every turn – and you’ll have to solve mysteries to save the wizarding world during your tour! While your official Blue Badge Guide will lead your tour in the UK[,] the rest of [the] entire staff/cast remain in character for the duration of your immersive adventure!
You’ll even stay in your very own 600 hundred [sic][-]year[-]old castle of wizardry (Lumley Castle) for two nights during your tour. At Lumley[,] you’ll attend wizarding school and be treated to all kinds of private classes – owl classes, taming fantastic beasts, divination, learning new potions and spells and so much more.
New highlights for 2019 include a special private tour of the House of MinaLima (makers of all HP and Fantastic Beast artwork and materials), [h]igh [t]ea at the Balmoral in Edinburgh (where JK finished the HP book series) and much more. Did we mention […] also riding on a steam train and being treated to lavish wizrding feasts?
