The Nighttime Lights At Hogwarts Castle

[SMAX]

Calling all Gryffindors, Ravenclaws, Hufflepuffs and Slytherins...

For the first time ever at Universal Orlando Resort, guests will be able to celebrate their Hogwarts house pride during an all-new, breathtaking experience – The Nighttime Lights at Hogwarts Castle - debuting on Wednesday 31st January and running on select nights throughout 2018.

As night falls in The Wizarding World of Harry Potter - Hogsmeade at Universal's Islands of Adventure, state-of-the-art projection mapping, coupled with special effects and lighting, will wrap Hogwarts castle in a dazzling display celebrating the four houses of Hogwarts – Gryffindor, Ravenclaw, Hufflepuff and Slytherin. Guests will watch in awe as the spirit and iconic elements of each house are brought to life on the majestic castle – all set to incredible music based on the original scores from the Harry Potter films.

This will be the second projection mapping experience Universal Orlando has featured in The Wizarding World of Harry Potter – Hogsmeade. Over the holiday season, Universal debuted “The Magic of Christmas at Hogwarts Castle,” which brought incredible Christmas moments inspired by the Harry Potter series to life. Both experiences were also featured at Universal Studios Hollywood.

"The Nighttime Lights at Hogwarts Castle" will make its official debut at Universal Orlando Resort on Wed., Jan. 31 and run select nights throughout the year – but park guests can preview the new experience on Jan. 27 and Jan. 28 during “A Celebration of Harry Potter 2018.” The experience will run continuously each evening starting at dusk.

And guests who’ve purchased A Celebration of Harry Potter vacation package can be among the first to see this experience at Universal Orlando during an exclusive preview event on Friday, Jan. 26. Event packages can be purchased here.

“The Nighttime Lights at Hogwarts Castle” is scheduled to run Jan. 31 – Feb. 5, and Feb. 7 – Feb. 12. Additional dates will be announced at a later time

Really hope this becomes a regular thing and keeps going throughout the year.

I would hope this would become nightly, if not multiple times nightly, it surely can't cost much to operate?

Disney light up their castle and it’s good that universal do the same. Love these light shows. Hopefully they will have one in April when I go 👍

See more...

The dates are really confusing...some websites are writing Jan. 31 AND Feb. 5 (and then Feb. 7 until Feb. 12), some are writing Jan. 31 UNTIL Feb. 5 (and then Feb. 7 until Feb. 12)!

I hope it is UNTIL as we will be at Universal at Feb. 01

As this article came directly from Universal I would assume they are correct.

Basically 31st Jan through to 12th Feb excluding 6th Feb.

Really hope that this is running in October!
