Best Christmas lights in Sydney 2023: Inside the magical Harry Potter house in Ramsgate Beach
A modest suburban home has been transformed into an enchanting Christmas display celebrating all things Harry Potter.
The exhibition in Sydney's south-east transformed an otherwise ordinary house 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 bring the joy of Christmas to light in the wizarding world.
The Christmas show was put on by Warner Bros. and the company is eager to deliver magic in time for the holidays.

The Harry Potter Christmas Lights house will be lit every evening at 7:30pm from now until December 26th.
Visitors will see beloved elements and wizarding wonders from the Harry Potter series come to life.
From floating candles, Patronus animals, glowing Golden Snitches and Christmas trees decorated in Hogwarts house colors to Thestrals pulling a carriage on the roof.
Fans will also notice a huge willow tree at the front of the house and will be challenged to find five Dobby's hidden among the decorations.

“Whether you're a lifelong fan or looking for a new Christmas tradition, our magical Harry Potter Christmas Lights house is a must-visit destination that everyone can enjoy,” she said.
The arrival of the Harry Potter Christmas Lights house in Sydney is the latest touch of magic to make its way to Australian shores.

Previous magical experiences include the four-year spell of Harry Potter and the Cursed Child at the Princess Theatre, national shopping programs such as the Magical Builders collectibles at Coles and experiences such as the Fantastic Beasts: The Wonders of Nature exhibition at the Melbourne Museum.
And there are more magical events planned in 2024, including the Australian premiere of Harry Potter: A Forbidden Forest Experience on April 6 on Melbourne's Mornington Peninsula.
The house contains magical aspects from the entire Harry Potter franchise
This magical outdoor trail experience, developed by Warner Bros. Discovery Global Themed Entertainment in collaboration with Fever and IMG, is inspired by the iconic Forbidden Forest and features creatures from the Harry Potter and Fantastic Beasts series.
Enchanting lights will set The Briars of Mount Martha ablaze as fans of all ages discover some of their favorite moments from the Forbidden Forest along the way and encounter mystical creatures such as Hippogriffs, Unicorns and Niffers, with the chance to practice casting their own spells.
