Universal City, CA; Orlando, Fla., February 28, 2019 – Universal Studios
Hollywood<https://www.universalstudioshollywood.com/> and Universal Orlando
Resort<https://www.universalorlando.com/web/en/us/index.html> invite guests to
experience an exciting new dimension of sorcery at “The Wizarding World of Harry
PotterTM” with the introduction of the “Dark Arts at Hogwarts Castle,” a powerful,
original and breathtaking projection experience.
The “Dark Arts at Hogwarts Castle” will illuminate Hogwarts castle and
“The Wizarding World of Harry Potter” nightly from April 13 – 28 at
Universal Studios Hollywood then return from May 25 – 27.
Universal Orlando Resort’s experience will debut later this year with dates to be
announced at a later time.
This exciting all-new experience in “The Wizarding World of Harry Potter” will cast
a mesmerizing display of light, music and special effects, unleashing the darkest
creatures and villains, including the powerful Dark wizard Lord Voldemort.
Illuminating a darker side of the Wizarding World, this spectacular new light
projection experience will be a departure from previous “The Nighttime Lights at
Hogwarts Castle” and “The Magic of Christmas at Hogwarts Castle.” “Dark Arts at
Hogwarts Castle” will bring more intense tones and drama that reflect the Dark
creatures and wizards that challenge goodness in the Wizarding World.
Guests will be asked to summon their inner strength and bravery in the face of the
all-consuming Dark Arts as some of the awe-inspiring moments and creatures inspired
by the films come to life within the majestic light display.
As darkness falls on Hogwarts castle, Dementors™, Death Eaters and other unspeakable
creatures from Aragog and Mountain Trolls to Thestrals will cloak the castle with
sinister images from the darker side of magic—even conjuring the visage of Lord
Voldemort™ himself, until the Patronus spell—one of the most famous, difficult and
powerful defense of the Dark Arts charms in the wizarding world—is cast.
The “Dark Arts at Hogwarts Castle” will be accompanied by an exclusive musical
arrangement that will emanate in a surround sound environment. It was conducted by
prolific arranger William Ross and recorded by the London Symphony Orchestra in
London, based on the original scores composed for the film series created by Academy
Award®-winning composer John Williams.
Inspired by J.K. Rowling’s compelling stories and characters that were brought to
life in the Warner Bros. films, “The Wizarding World of Harry Potter” at Universal
Studios Hollywood and Universal Orlando Resort is a masterful recreation, faithful
to the visual landscape of the fiction and films, including as its iconic focal
point, Hogwarts castle.
From its snow-capped roofs and cobblestone streets to the historic British
sensibilities that characterize the whimsical look and feel of the land, “The
Wizarding World of Harry Potter” transports guests of all ages to the very places
they watched on the silver screen.
With so much to see and do at Universal Studios Hollywood, the all-new 2019 Season
Pass invites guests to experience the fun throughout the year for $149 when
