Today’s vacation rental choices are wide and varied, with countless quirky offerings designed to please people with unique interests. The latest one – a sprawling mansion in Florida designed with scenes from the world of Harry Potter – is no exception, and you don’t need to wait on an owl-carried invitation to go there.
Located at Champion’s Gate, a 15-minute drive from Orlando, Wizard’s Way is a gigantic 4000-square-foot villa that sleeps up to 20 people, and has eight bedrooms and five bathrooms. Guests are greeted by a sorting hat in the hall, where they can choose the room that suits them best, from a green-tinged, serpentine room adorned with the logo of House Slytherin to bunk beds in the Gryffindor room. There’s even a small nook under the stairs, reminiscent of Harry’s very first bedroom in Privet Drive.
The house features special effects, custom-carved beds, ambient sounds, and mood lighting to fully immerse visitors in the magical world of Harry Potter. Moreover, there’s a “quidditch pitch” games room complete with pool and foosball tables, an oversized chessboard, and a Platform 9 3/4-themed room where guests sleep in a Hogwarts Express train bed. Additionally, there is a bed designed to resemble the iconic blue Ford Anglia from Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets, expertly crafted to appear as if it is “sitting” in a willow tree.
The theatre room offers comfortable seating to watch your favourite Harry Potter movie, with the walls painted to imitate the Forbidden Forest, complete with glowing dementors and patronuses. Additionally, the property features a heated indoor swimming pool for guests to unwind after an exciting day of exploring.
The house is located near Twelve Parsecs, a nine-bedroom Star Wars-themed home run by the same company. Moreover, guests also have access to clubhouse amenities that include a water park, gym, and a bar, making it a well-rounded retreat for families and groups.
