The Changi Airport Festival 2018 is currently being held at Changi International Airport, Singapore.
With "A Wizarding World Holiday at Changi" as the theme, travelers can enjoy a series of activities offered in the event until mid-February next year. It is based on the novel series Harry Potter and Fantastic Beasts by J.K. Rowling, marking the first collaboration of Changi Airport’s with Warner Bros. Singapore.
The activities include trying out character clothes at Madam Malkin’s Robes for All Occasions, practicing spells in the Wand Challenge area and playing the Harry Potter universe’s signature sport Quidditch.
For the event, the airport is decorated with four original sized sets spread over three terminals. Terminal 3 has the snowy-roofed shopping area Hogsmeade Village and Diagon Alley, where Hogwarts students buy school supplies such as uniforms and wands.
