Harry Potter Lands at Changi Airport – And Stays Till February 2019

The Changi Airport Festival 2018 is on at Changi International Airport, Singapore right now and will go on till February the next year. The annual event, the festival is held at the end of the year and celebrates the winter holiday season.

This time the festival is themed 'A Wizarding World Holiday at Changi' and is a result of the first collaboration between Changi Airport’s with Warner Bros. Singapore. The festival transports visitors – and passengers – to the amazing world of Harry Potter and Fantastic Beasts, the two novel series by J.K. Rowling.

There is the Madam Malkin’s Robes for All Occasions shop to try out clothes of some characters of the novels; there is the Wand Challenge area to practice some spells – in case you know any; there is also a chance to try your hand in Quidditch, the famous sport from Harry Potter's world – but you have to master your broomstick riding skills first, of course.

Come to Terminal 2 to find The Whomping Willow, the awe-inspiring tree while Terminal 1 has now become the playground for Newt Scamander's Menagerie from the latest movie of the Wizarding World series, 'Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald'.
