The show will run nightly from April 13 - 28 at Universal Studios Hollywood then return from May 25 - 27. The Universal Orlando Resort's experience will be debuting sometime this year on a date to be announced.
"Dark Arts at Hogwarts Castle" will feature a display of light, music and special effects, unleashing the darkest creatures and villains, including the powerful Dark wizard Lord Voldemort. It will bring more intense tones and drama that reflect the Dark creatures and wizards that challenge goodness in the Wizarding World.
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 show 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.
Stay tuned for updates on the Universal Orlando Resort show dates!
