We muggles have always been wizard-wannabes, wondering what it’s like to be a student at Hogwarts, so it’s no wonder that famous overseas attractions from the Warner Brothers Studio Tours in London to the Universal Studios in Osaka emulate the world of Harry Potter.

But if you haven’t had the time or money yet to fly abroad to experience the world of your favorite Harry Potter characters, this Harry Potter-themed Airbnb in Tagaytay is your most accessible option.

From the bedroom down to the living room, you’ll see details that could have easily been in the real Hogwarts. The bedroom features three double beds draped in the Hogwarts emblem and splashed with Gryffindor colors, while the living room easily feels like the Gryffindor house’s common room.

Starting at P3,500 (~USD72.23) a night, this 55 sqm Airbnb is definitely not the cheapest too, but for its attention to detail, it’s worth checking out with the kids or with your fellow Harry Potter fans.

The room’s smart TV is also loaded with all the Harry Potter movies, FYI – perfect if you want to have a family movie marathon to relive the Hogwarts magic. Guests are able to use the full kitchen, free Wi-Fi, and onsite swimming pool, so you won’t have to go far to stay well-fed and entertained.
