The Dark Arts Halloween event is the focus of Harry Potter Studio Tour Tokyo’s latest seasonal program in Tokyo. The attraction will transform its film sets and food service areas into a darker version of the wizarding world.
Running from September 10 to November 8, 2026, the event adds Death Eater appearances, changing visual effects, and a live performance inside the Ministry of Magic set. More than 100 floating jack-o’-lanterns will also fill the Great Hall, while themed food and drinks extend the experience beyond the tour sets.
About the Dark Arts Halloween Event
Food highlights include the purple-bun Halloween Burger, Forbidden Forest Pancakes inspired by Dementors, the Dark Mark Milkshake, and Hagrid’s Pumpkin Patch Eclair. Backlot Cafe afternoon tea and high tea will also receive a Dark Arts Halloween makeover. The release does not specify prices for these items.
The seasonal experience follows the rise of Voldemort’s forces through the attraction. Guests can watch the Death Eater Demonstration, a new live performance directed and choreographed by Paul Harris, whose work draws on wand-fighting movements from the Harry Potter films. Ten positions are combined with dance-like movement to create a tense performance inside the full-scale Ministry of Magic set.
