Harry Potter fans offered Hagrid's Hut experience at magical country retreat

Another unusual Airbnb has caught the eye of Harry Potter fans as a host lists the chance to stay in “Hagrid's Hut”.

Harry Potter themed stays are a fashionable choice on the popular BnB website. Hosts will give their properties a magical touch for an instagrammable holiday destination.

The Scottish Daily Express reports that a Hagrid's Hut inspired stay can now be booked at a private location in Georgia in the United States.

This particular stay is one for the bucket list for those thinking about flying overseas to get their Potter fix in the near future.

A world away from grand halls and castle turrets, the rustic stay is inspired by scenes from the film franchise. This stay is better suited to those wanting a more realistic Hogwarts experience.

In the films, Hagrid's Hut is portrayed as a mismatched and disorganised cosy hut in the countryside. With a large fireplace usually featuring a kettle dangling above it, while disoriented the hut always looks inviting.

The half giant is often seen in his hut, usually in a dishevelled manner surrounded by clutter.

The whimsical lodge has an array of old fashioned features and is complete with an oversized magical cauldron at the front which is used as a firepit.

Pictures show the hut filled to the brim with décor including items hanging from the ceiling to add to the realistic experience.

Host Kristi has a nearly perfect score on Airbnb with most lodgers giving the hut five stars for their stay. May 2023 is the earliest that anyone can book a stay at the lodge with all dates booked up for the foreseeable.

One person wrote: “Five stars is not enough for this place! My husband and I booked a very last minute escape and it was worth every single penny.”

Another said: “I can't express enough what a wonderful time we had. It was like we were living in the movies. As a huge HP fan, this is better than a dream come true.”

Many other people commented that the lodge was also true to size with many aspects oversized to fit a giant.

One said: "My husband is 6’4” and said he felt small for the first time!"

Situated in a 40 acre private location the stay offers a scavenger hunt in nearby forests and a tranquil place to immerse yourself into the Harry Potter box sets.

People can book to stay at the hut here.
