For Harry Potter fans, the best place to be is and always will be the Warner Bros. Studio Tour in London. The studio, which houses the film franchise’s sets, costumes and props for avid fans to visit, is currently running its annual “Hogwarts in the Snow” event, but Potterheads with a romantic side (and an equally Potter-obsessed SO) have a special treat in store. Refinery29 reports that the studio is hosting a special Valentine’s Day dinner on Feb. 9 and 10, 2018, at its Great Hall set. Excuse me while my heart flutters.
Having held a similar celebration last year, Warner Bros. is billing the event as a “Valentine’s Dinner in the Great Hall.” According to the tour’s website, the 18+ dinner will begin with welcome drinks for guests, which includes the “Love Potion” cocktail. After receiving their own special wands at their Great Hall tables, couples will then have a cozy three-course meal and exclusively tour the rest of the studio. Best of all, the evening will end with tea, coffee and dessert in view of the Hogwarts castle model, a sight which nearly made me cry when I visited the studio. Imagine my emotions if dessert had been included.

Sadly, both evenings are already sold out, which is incredible given the lofty price of the event. Reserving a table for two cost about $660, which definitely covers the price of this once-in-a-lifetime experience. Those of us without tickets will have to wait for another year to have our Hogwarts romance, and it looks like Potter fans are already eager for this kind of chance.Â

Until I find a way to permanently move into the studio tour building, I’ll be over here imagining up my own Hogwarts boyfriend.Â
