Welcome to Hogsmeade!
The Architect of Hogwarts
From the greenhouse, guests enter the castles Oxford Corridor upstairs.
This is exactly where Harry and the kids would have walked around, Gilmore says.

The first statue positioned along the sides of this long hallway is the architect of Hogwarts.
At his feet, you see the four houses represented by the houses animal mascots.
We visited museums in England and Europe, and we recreated all those finishes exactly.

The last iconicHarry Potterstatue youll find walking down the Oxford Corridor is the griffin that guards the Headmasters office.
Remember the staircase that reveals itself?
That would have been here, Gilmore says.

And you dont even need to give a candy-themed password!
The Fat Lady Portrait
What would a tour of Hogwarts be without the Fat Lady?
Her animated portrait hangs in the hallway that leads to Gryffindor Tower.

Luckily, she doesnt require a password at the parks Hogwarts, though she is her usual talkative self.
We filmed Dawn French [for the Wizarding World portrait] in London, Gilmore recalls.
Shes very, very funny.

Its allHarry Potter, Gilmore says.
There are also some pieces on display, including this originalHarry Potter and the Goblet of Firecostume.
We have Cho Changs dress from the Yule Ball, Gilmore pointed out.

Thats a really nice piece.
Youll see these in several places so keep an eye out around the village for more.
