I’ve been to Singapore many times, and this marks my fifth visit to the Lion City! I only stayed in Singapore for 3 days this time, but it never fails to amaze me how there’s always something new to discover. People often say Singapore is “boring,” but honestly, I couldn’t disagree more. Each trip always surprises me with a new experience, and this time, it was pure magic, literally!
If you’re planning a trip to Singapore soon, there’s one attraction you absolutely shouldn’t miss: Harry Potter: Visions of Magic at Resorts World Sentosa. This newly opened experience is the largest-ever immersive art experience in Asia, and it’s every Potterhead’s dream come true.
The experience officially opened on November 22, 2024, and will run until at least the end of 2026, giving you plenty of time to experience the Wizarding World in a whole new way.

Room of Requirement
Just like in the films, this room appears when you need it most. It’s filled with enchanting surprises and interactive moments where your wand truly comes to life.
