Who’s stealing Hogwarts props?

The new Harry Potter series hasn’t even aired yet, and Hogwarts is already facing mysterious disappearances. Only this time, it’s not students vanishing – it’s props. According to The Sun UK, pumpkins, wands, spell books and fake food from a Halloween feast scene have gone missing from the Great Hall set at Warner Bros Studios in Leavesden. Probably someone out there is hosting a very convincing Hogwarts-themed dinner.

Props get microchipped

Production bosses have gone full Ministry of Magic mode. Posters placed around the set warn cast and crew: “Props on this production have been microchipped,” adding, “For inventory and security purposes props are being tracked daily and their movement will be logged.” The warning also reminds people not to casually walk off with broomsticks unless the Props Department approves it first. And before anyone blamed dark forces, a source close to The Sun clarified: “The missing props cannot be blamed on Harry Potter’s arch enemy Lord Voldemort.”

The real-life Hogwarts mystery nobody expected

“It’s easy to suspect the dozens of support actors on set, but truthfully no one knows who is responsible,” the source reportedly added. Online shopping platforms are being monitored in case an enchanted décor suddenly pops up for sale. “Anyone caught doing so will be punished and fired.” Honestly, the show hasn’t even started and Hogwarts already feels weirdly authentic.
