Universal Orlando - Dark Arts Returns to The Wizarding World of Harry Potter

Something dark is brewing at the Universal Orlando Resort! Dark Arts is returning to The Wizarding World of Harry Potter, bringing sinister magic, Death Eaters, and a haunting transformation to Hogwarts Castle.

This year’s return is part of the celebration of Harry Potter’s 25 Years of Magic, marking the 25th anniversary of the first Harry Potter film.

Dark Arts at Hogwarts Castle - Select dates September 5-November 1

As night falls over The Wizarding World of Harry Potter – Hogsmeade at Universal Islands of Adventure, Hogwarts Castle becomes the backdrop for an unforgettable spectacle of light and music.

Dementors, Death Eaters, and other dark forces will appear across the castle before Lord Voldemort makes an ominous appearance and summons his cruel legions to swarm Hogwarts. It’s a thrilling way to experience the castle after dark and see the Wizarding World from a darker perspective.

Death Eaters in Diagon Alley - Select dates August 27-November 1

The dark magic continues at The Wizarding World of Harry Potter – Diagon Alley at Universal Studios Florida.

Death Eaters will roam the streets, interacting with guests and bringing their intimidating presence to Diagon Alley.

Want to show your allegiance to the Dark Lord? Head to Borgin and Burkes in Knockturn Alley for themed apparel, artifacts, collectibles, and the Lord Voldemort Second Generation Interactive Wand. The wand features a bone-like appearance and shares a phoenix feather core with Harry Potter’s wand.
