Potterheads, witches, wizards, have your wands at the ready for Universal Orlando Resort’s 2017 A Celebration of Harry Potter.
Universal Orlando Resort has released their full schedule of events for this year’s weekend long event between January 27 and 29 at both Islands of Adventures and Universal Studios Florida.
Tickets are still available.
Actors Matthew Lewis and Warwick Davis, Neville Longbottom and Griphook/Professor Flitwick themselves (respectively), will be among those participating in the weekend’s talent Q&A sessions on Saturday, January 28 and Sunday, January 29. Graphic designers MinaLima, Warner Bros. Studio Tour London – The Making of Harry Potter, and a production team from the film series will all be present for panel discussions throughout the eventful weekend, as well.
As a result of this year’s celebrations tacking on so many more events and vendors, the Harry Potter Expo will expand to both Soundstages 21 and 33. The “Move in the Park” choice may be any from the Harry Potter film saga, and Warner Bros. has already confirmed that “Harry Potter and the Death Hallows: Part 2” will be presented on Sunday, the final day of celebrations.
