by · November 21, 2013

Even though the tickets to Universal Orlando’s “A Celebration of Harry Potter” sold out within minutes, until now fans have had only a vague idea of what to expect when they arrive at the park in January. Although a full schedule has yet to be released, the website for the event has been updated to include some of the activities guests can look forward to. From the website:

Come and celebrate all of Harry Potter’s adventures with interactive experiences, exciting demonstrations, and more. The celebration kicks off with a Harry Potter™ tribute on Friday – a special evening event featuring select cast members and award-winning artist Kazu Kibuishi, who recently reimagined the Harry Potter book covers. Other special activities over the weekend include:

  • A wand masterclass hosted by Warner Bros. Studio Tour London – The Making of Harry Potter, featuring wand combat choreographer Paul Harris and a special guest
  • Q&A sessions with members of the Harry Potter cast
  • Panel discussions that cannot be missed with MinaLima – creators of the graphics seen in the movies
  • Pottermore – an exclusive behind-the-scenes look at Pottermore.com – the free interactive website from J.K. Rowling (Saturday & Sunday).
  • Plus, guests can explore the one-of-a-kind Harry Potter expo with interactive activities for fans, including a vignette of movie props from Harry Potter: The Exhibition and The Sorting Hat™ experience.
  • And more

Are you excited to learn these new details? Which cast members are you hoping appear at the celebration?

I've been making magic at MuggleNet since 2012, when I first joined the staff as a News intern. I've never wavered from the declaration in my childhood journal, circa October 2000: "I LOVE Harry Potter! If I clean my room, my mom says she'll make me a dinner a wizard would love!" Proud Gryffindor; don't hate.
