Harry Potter Cast Members Reunited For a Sneak Peek of the New Forbidden Forest

Warner Bros. says that visitors "will come face-to-face with Aragog, the Acromantula. Emerging from his dark lair, the enormous spider will appear before visitors along with spiderlings from his family."

"Created by Nick Dudman, Creature and Make-Up Effects Designer, with help from Production Designer Stuart Craig, Aragog had a leg span of over 18 feet and was even able to crawl out of a hole and deliver dialogue in Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets," it said.

One of Rubeus Hagrid's original costumes will be on display "to welcome visitors through the Hogwarts Gates deep into the forest."

Warner Bros. said that visitors will encounter "a full-size model of Buckbeak, which is new to the tour, and have the opportunity to bow to the majestic creature."

"Each feather had to be individually inserted and glued by the Creature Effects team who were busy adding feathers right up until the final moment Buckbeak was needed on set for Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban."

"Visitors will even be able to control the weather using the same techniques created by filmmakers," the studio said.

Stuart Craig, production designer on all eight Harry Potter films, said in a press release that "The Forbidden Forest is full of mysterious, fascinating and sometimes threatening forces. It represents the great unknown compared to the comfort and safety of Hogwarts and the Gryffindor Common Room which makes it so interesting and important to the development of the story."
