New for 2006


Fan trips in 2005 offered many exciting new locations and activities and we know you are going to love the new changes for 2006 because we took all the great comments and suggestions from fans on the 2005 trip and incorporated them into the new itineraries for 2006.

Some of these exciting ideas included:

  • Castle hotels
  • More unique and higher level hotels including a 5-star option
  • Meals with more courses and wine included
  • Complimentary babysitting!
  • More groups in the same hotel
  • More time for train photos and shorter ride
  • Include the Wizard’s Cavern virtual reality game only at night
  • More free time
  • More information about locations and things to do
  • More Fantasy for the HP Banquet
  • ……and more!

We’ve also had a few ideas of our own and are thrilled to offer them to fans in 2006:

  • Added two nights in The Highlands where many location shots were filmed
  • Edinburgh Castle is exclusively ours for the final gala banquet and party!
  • Found a cave which might remind more than a few fans of Book 6
  • Secured the entire hotel used by cast and crew in Glencoe for 3 of the HP Fan Trips groups
  • Exciting Drawing for the chance to stay in the rooms used by Dan Radcliffe, Rupert Grint, Emma Watson and Tom Felton (for those on the 9-day tours)
  • Added a flight from London to Inverness to shorten travel time and to allow for a visit to Loch Ness, a must-see for most visitors
  • Pajama parties return to HP Fan Trips!

These elements remain the same:

  • Group Size – We are capping each group at 42 people. This will allow groups to move at a better, more fluid pace and enjoy an intimate experience. Minimum group size is 30 people.
    Coaches and Guides – Each group will be assigned its own guide and coach (transportation). Therefore, even though there will be multiple groups in the same city throughout the tours, each group will depart independently and stay with the same guide the entire time.
  • Large Venues – While groups will be kept separate throughout their itineraries, exceptions include the train, the day at Alnwick Castle, the party at the top of the gondola in The Highlands and the banquet at Edinburgh Castle. This way, all the participants can get together and mingle in a larger, more diverse atmosphere.
  • Airport Transfers –We will coordinate a transfer time period for each group, dependent upon the flight schedules of each person. If your flight schedule does not fall within the allotted timeframes as noted on your itinerary, you will be responsible for your own transfers to/from the airport.
Please note: Wands will only be included for children on the “Apprentice” tours.
All fans receive wands on the "Sorcerer" tours.
