The Director of Entertainment Creative Development, Mike Aiello and his team have put together some brilliant stage shows at both Hogsmede Village and Diagon Alley.

At Hogmede there is a small stage area located near Hogwarts. You'll find a couple of different Hogwarts themed stage shows including the Frog Choir. Just like Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire the students from Durmstrang and Beauxbaton also put on a display.

Diagon Alley has its own stage show area too, here you can be treated to the musical talents of Celestina Warbeck and the Banshees. When creating the show Aiello's team spoke with J.K. Rowling as to how she imagined Celestina. Rowling told them the closet Muggle musician to her would be Shirley Bassey so this is who the musical stylings of Celestina are based on.

For the ultimate story time for Potter fans will be those of Beedle the Bard, which are played out in Diagon Alley using puppets.

You will be able to catch either "The Three Brothers" or "The Fountain of Fair Fortune" and the puppets are pretty haunting. The beautiful puppets have a similar look to animated telling of the story within Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 1. The man behind the puppets is Michael Curry, who also created the animals for the Broadway musical The Lion King.

Although the "Three Brothers" is the more famous tale, which tells the story of the Deathly Hallows, you won't be disappointed to catch the "Fountain of Fair Fortune".

If you are a Harry Potter fan you'll love these shows that Universal have created.
