Dementors, Death Eaters and Lord Voldemort…..oh my! The darker side of the Wizarding World returns to Universal Orlando Resort for a limited time event for the Halloween season.
While Halloween Horror Nights 31 descends on guests to scare up some freights at Universal Studios Florida, next door at its sister park, Islands of Adventure will have the return of Dark Arts at Hogwarts Castle for the park’s own Halloween themed event.
Universal Orlando released a synopsis of the event on its website detailing the spooky offerings taking place during the special nighttime show:
“As darkness falls on Hogwarts castle, Dementors, Death Eaters and other unspeakable creatures cloak the stone walls in sinister images and fiendish magic,” Universal said in a statement. “Chaos erupts as the image of Lord Voldemort joins the fray, summoning his cruel legions to swarm the castle. Stare in awe at the castle’s takeover during this ominous spectacle of light and music.”
Guests on select nights from Sept. 16-Oct. 31 will come face to face with the sinister followers of Lord Voldemort and practitioners of the Dark Arts, known as Death Eaters as they wilk walk the streets of the Hogsmeade area of the park and interact with guests from dusk till park close.
The Dark Arts at Hogwarts Castle will be a lights projection show taking place at Hogwarts Castle with spooky sounds and imagery of Dementors, spiders, mountain trolls and even Lord Voldemort set to sinister themed music from the Harry Potter films.
