The National Film Theatre enters into the Harry Potter spirit during half-term, February 18 to 22, with all sorts of holiday workshop magic from animation and acting to making magic tricks and to meeting a magician.

The programme includes Camera Tricks: Abracadabra! on February 18 where six to 12-year-olds can plan their own spells then film them using special effects.

Parents can rest and recuperate in the movie magic den while the children are busy in the education rooms.
