The Wizarding World of Harry Potter will celebrate the launch of their new, sinister castle projection show next month with a special ticket event. Guests can be the first to see this spectacle on either April 11 or 12, during the Dark Arts at Hogwarts Castle Premiere Event.
The evening will begin with a red-carpet photo op, followed by a specially-catered dinner exclusively for participants. You’ll also be able to purchase new merchandise and keepsake memorabilia created for the new show. Your ticket will allow you to have unlimited access to the rides, attractions, and shops, and then you can watch as Hogwarts™ Castle is ‘cloaked with sinister curses and fearsome creatures’ in the Dark Arts at Hogwarts™ Castle, the all-new nighttime spectacle of light and music, before it opens to the public on April 13th.
Event tickets will allow guests to enter Universal Studios Hollywood at 4pm to enjoy the park before the festivities. The party is from 6-11pm. If you’d like to spend a full day at Universal Studios, you’re able to purchase a ticket combined with general admission for $249.
UPDATE: We have a special discount for MiceChat readers to attend this unique event (if you are reading this page, you quality). You can get either the event only or the event with full day admission to the park at the pass holder price: https://ushtix.com/micechat
About the Dark Arts at Hogwarts Castle:
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.
