In the new sections, there will be a 25-foot high section from the set of the Slytherin Common Room, taken from the second Harry Potter film – Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets.

In the one scene from the films we see the common room, Ron and Harry have used polyjuice potion to transform into Crabbe and Goyle to find out more about the Chamber of Secrets from their rival, Draco Malfoy.

In these scenes the common room is very dark, decorated with the house's colours – green and silver – as well as the classic serpent.

On their site, they explain: "During filming, Production Designer Stuart Craig wanted a very different atmosphere to the warm colours of Gryffindor so designed the Slytherin common room set to look like a dungeon carved out of solid rock.

"You’ll be able to see the hand-crafted wall tapestries, which had the red tones completely taken out of the colour palette to add to the austere atmosphere and further highlight the iconic Slytherin colours, green and silver."
