Hang out in the mall
From September 9, shoppers heading to Abu Dhabi Mall will be able to experience a little bit of the magic of the Wizarding World of Harry Potter. Celebrating Hogwarts is a walkthrough interactive Harry Potter-themed experience that offers the opportunity to photograph Snapes, ahem, and posing with some of the saga’s most memorable backdrops. You’ll also be invited to an immersive game (come on a Quidditch match?), as well as parting the Weasleys from the Grangers – a quiz over the weekend (though you’ll need to watch out for those sneaky Awful people) Slytherins a lot, promise they’ll have a design on Dumbledore’s answer sheet).
