Are you ready to go back to school? Universal Studios Hollywood and Orlando certainly are. They’re both putting on the Back To Hogwarts celebration to prep for the new academic year. The seasonal celebration lasts from August 1st to September 1st and invites guests to experience the magic of The Wizarding World of Harry Potter and flaunt their house pride.
Here’s what Universal had to say about the new celebration.
The start of the academic year is one of the most exciting times for a young witch or wizard as their journey begins from King’s Cross Station and Platform 9¾ leading to Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. While every day is a perfect day to visit “The Wizarding World of Harry Potter,” “Back to Hogwarts” carries particular significance for Hogwarts students to proudly wear their house robes to strike a pose at the Hogwarts Express or raise their wands in solidarity of their individual Hogwarts house at Hogwarts Castle.
To prepare for the exciting academic year ahead, special “Back to Hogwarts” school bundles are available for purchase, including must-haves such as a backpack and journal themed to their preferred Hogwarts house as well as a Hedwig owl plush.
As “Back to Hogwarts” continues, a specially themed Iced Biscuit will debut on August 12, and will be available for purchase at Honeydukes™ within Hogsmeade at both theme park destinations, plus at Sugarplum’s Sweet Shop at Diagon Alley at Universal Orlando.
Universal Studios is prepping for the Halloween season with Halloween Horror Nights, but you can get in some wizarding to celebrate heading back to school.
