Singapore's Changi Airport is already an architectural gem but in celebration of the holiday season, the Asian transit hub will transform into a Harry Potter-inspired airport. Drawing from the scenes of the latest Rowling movie, 'Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald' as well as the larger Harry Potter universe. The redesigned airport will feature four life-sized hubs. Each of these hubs will feature festive decor set in Hogsmeade Village, Diagon Alley, the Whomping Willow of Hogwarts, and New Scamander's Menagerie.
Visitors passing through the Harry Potter-inspired airports will get to visit stores made up to look like classic locations from the series and try on exclusive Harry Potter merchandise. The Harry Potter-inspired airport will also feature games of Quidditch and even an adorable giant-sized Niffler for people to cuddle with.
