Fans can get a first look at the new attraction in the Harry Potter Studios as star of the films, Tom Felton makes a surprise visit.
The Draco Malfoy actor came face-to-face with a shrieking mandrake plant as he unveiled the new Professor Sprout’s Greenhouse.
The expansion will open on July 1 and is part of the brand new 'Mandrakes and Magical Creatures' feature.
The fan favourite location sees students being taught Herbology by Professor Pomona Sprout and now fans have a chance to step into the set.
Now, just like a Hogwarts student, visitors to the Studio Tour will be able to step into the greenhouse and stop to pull out a potted Mandrake as part of an interactive display.
Ahead of the greenhouse grand opening, Tom Felton got to experience the setting used in Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets for the first time in over 20 years.
Getting the chance to look up at the Venomous Tentacula hanging from the ceiling inside the greenhouse, as well as the dragon sculptures decorating the outside.
The greenhouse is a permanent addition to the Studio Tour and will open as part of a brand-new feature, Mandrakes and Magical Creatures, which will open on July 1 and run until September 12, 2022.
As part of the feature, visitors will be welcomed into the Great Hall to the Frog Choir scene as seen in Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban, featuring the costume of the conductor of the choir, Professor Flitwick, as worn by Warwick Davis.
Plus, the studio is also expanding its exterior sets in their backlot with the additions of the fountain from the Hogwarts courtyard and 1:3 scale version of the Weasleys Burrow.
