Over Wizarding World

In de jaren sinds Harry Potter vanaf King's Cross Station naar Perron negen en driekwart werd gebracht, hebben zijn ongelooflijke avonturen een unieke en blijvende stempel gedrukt op de popcultuur. Acht kaskrakende Harry Potter-films, gebaseerd op de originele verhalen van J.K. Rowling, hebben de magische verhalen tot leven gebracht, en vandaag de dag wordt de Wizarding World erkend als één van de meest geliefde merken ter wereld.

Als vertegenwoordiger van een enorm met elkaar verbonden universum omvat het ook drie epische Fantastic Beasts films, Harry Potter and the Cursed Child – de veelvoudig bekroonde toneelvoorstelling, geavanceerde video- en mobiele games van Portkey Games, innovatieve consumentenproducten, meeslepend live entertainment (waaronder vier pretparkgebieden) en boeiende exposities.

Deze groeiende portfolio van door Warner Bros. beheerde Wizarding World-tours en -winkels omvat ook de vlaggenschiplocatie Harry Potter New York, Warner Bros. Studio Tour London – The Making of Harry Potter, Warner Bros. Studio Tour Tokyo, en de winkels op Perron 9¾.

De Wizarding World blijft evolueren om Harry Potter-fans nieuwe en spannende manieren te bieden om zich te engageren. Voor de wereldwijde fangemeenschap, en voor generaties na hen, verwelkomt het iedereen om de magie zelf te verkennen en te ontdekken.
