Next, take in Dumbledore’s majestic office, overflowing with scholarly props seen throughout the series, and the Gryffindor common room, alive with worn furniture and costumes from cast members. Of course, you’ll also want to set aside time to study up in the dimly lit Potions classroom and test your skills at pulling up a potted Mandrake within Professor Sprout’s Greenhouse.
