Best spots for Hogwarts-themed pictures
Nestled in Taman Damansara Aliff, Latte Doh Cafe is a Muslim-owned establishment that has gone all out to bring the magic to life.
The interior is decked out with everything Harry Potter fans would hope to see – from floating books and bubbling cauldrons to Hogwarts house-themed doors in the signature colours of Gryffindor, Slytherin, Ravenclaw, and Hufflepuff.

One of the best spots to snap a photo is the dedicated wall featuring portraits of iconic characters, including Hagrid, Professor Dumbledore, and Draco Malfoy. Next to it, you’ll find a life-sized “Wanted” box where you can hop into and channel your inner fugitive witch – perfect for a cheeky photo op.

Another highlight that will get you deep into character is the potion-making corner. There are shelves lined with vials of mysterious liquids and a cauldron ready for some spell-casting fun – props for you to pretend you’re whipping up your own mysterious brew. On the other side of the room, you can even try on the Sorting Hat and find out once and for all which Hogwarts house you truly belong to.
