Warner Bros Studios’ blockbuster Harry Potter exhibition has undergone a spooky makeover from now until mid-November as its Dark Arts theme returns. Most spectacularly, the Great Hall is filled with a hundred flickering, flying jack-o’-lanterns – aka Instagram heaven. Elsewhere there’s a special limited edition passport, plus Death Eaters galore: wandering around looking menacing, but also with interesting demonstrations of everything from their wand stance, their choreography and their costumes.
Sure, trick-or-treating is a strong staple of Halloween fun for kids. But the second-most fun holiday of the year (after Christmas, of course) has so much more to offer than working out who’s the most generous sweets-giver in the neighbourhood.
Handily, Halloween this year falls slap bang in the middle of the school half-term, meaning you and the family can really make the most of the city’s spooky, child-friendly events on either side of October 31.
From pumpkin picking to scary movies, there are loads of wicked things to do for them this week. Happy Halloween!
