From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Harry Potter fans longing to enjoy Christmas dinner at Hogwarts will have the chance to do so once again with the return of the Great Hall feast.
The glamourous event from the Warner Bros Studio Tour is back for another year, with the famous dining room set to be decked out with original props from the movies and Christmas trees with golden snitches for baubles.
Guests are invited to attend three course festive banquets on 7 and 8 December, when they will walk a red carpet and be greeted on arrival with drinks and canapés.
Replica wands of choice will serve as place settings at the table, while tickets also include a Studio Tour pass and complimentary ride on a return shuttle bus from Watford Junction.
There will be a selection of puddings on offer next to the Hogwarts Express on Platform 9¾ and you can pick up a mug of traditional Butterbeer from the backlot cafe. Music and dancing will conclude the evening, which runs from 6pm until midnight.
Here are a few pictures from last year's Christmas dinner:
The Great Hall is known in JK Rowling’s books as the setting for memorable scenes such as the Sorting Ceremony and the arrival of the Durmstrang and Beauxbatons students
Sadly, while this all sounds fantastic, there is one major drawback. Fans will need to fork out a massive £240 per person for the experience.
You must be aged 18 or over to attend and photo ID will be required. Smart dress is encouraged but fancy dress is also welcome. Tickets can be booked online here from 10am on Thursday 6 October.
