Best Christmas lights in Sydney 2023: Inside the magical Harry Potter house in Ramsgate Beach

A humble home in the suburbs has been transformed into a spellbinding Christmas display celebrating all things Harry Potter.

The display in Sydney‘s south east transformed an otherwise ordinary home into a magical wonderland for Hogwarts fans of all ages.

Surrounded by some of Sydney’s brightest streets, the Harry Potter Christmas Lights house at 30 Alfred Street Ramsgate Beach will be bringing the joy of Christmas in the wizarding world to light.

The Christmas display has been put on by Warner Bros. with the company keen to deliver magic in time for the holiday season.

The Harry Potter Christmas Lights house will be lighting up every night at 7.30pm from now until December 26. 

Visitors will watch as much-loved elements and wizarding wonders from the Harry Potter series come to life.

From floating candles, Patronus Animals, glowing Golden Snitches and Christmas trees adorned in Hogwarts house colours to Thestrals pulling a carriage on the roof.

Fans will also notice a huge whomping willow at the front of the house and be challenged to find five Dobbys hidden amongst the decorations.
