“Dark Arts at Hogwarts Castle” Premiere Event at Universal Studios Hollywood
Universal Studios Hollywood rolled out the red carpet for the “Dark Arts at Hogwarts™ Castle Premiere Event,” a special experience that offered fans a first look at the new light projection show at “The Wizarding World of Harry Potter.”
Guests were among the very first to experience “Dark Arts at Hogwarts Castle” with exclusive, coveted after-hours access to Hogsmeade™ village, where they could also explore the shops and experience the land’s signature rides, “Harry Potter and the Forbidden Journey™” and “Flight of the Hippogriff™.”
The event’s main attraction was an exclusive first-look at the all-new “Dark Arts at Hogwarts Castle” projection display that brought to light an exciting new dimension of sorcery within “The Wizarding World of Harry Potter.” A mesmerizing pageantry of light, music and special effects unleashed the darkest creatures and villains from the Wizarding World, including the powerful Dark wizard Lord Voldemort.
Creatures inspired by the films came to life within the majestic light display accompanied by an atmospheric musical score created by John Williams. Additionally, guests were treated to a premium catered feast of foods, beverages and desserts as part of the exclusive opportunity. A new wand also debuted in conjunction with the event, offering fans a chance to purchase this limited edition memorabilia and add to their wand collection.
“Dark Arts at Hogwarts Castle” opened to the public on Saturday, April 13 and will continue through Sunday, April 28, 2019 at Universal Studios Hollywood.
