Set against the backdrop of Universal Orlando’s amazing theme parks, muggles and magic folk alike can enjoy film talent Q&A sessions, panels, demonstrations and a Celebration of Harry Potter Expo. Best of all, these events take place among Universal’s Hogsmeade, Diagon Alley, and even the Hogwarts Express.
- Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone in Concert With the Orlando Philharmonic Orchestra offers an experience unlike any other: to listen to The Orlando Philharmonic Orchestra perform every note from Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone, while enjoying the film in high-definition on a giant screen. John Williams’ unforgettable score is brought to life for audiences, Feb. 18- 19, with tickets starting at $45.
- US Quidditch Cup National Competition is not to be missed for true fans. From April 8 – 9, 60 of the US League’s top Quidditch teams come together for more than 150 live games.

Orlando’s year-round wizarding offers are unique to any other destination as two Universal Orlando Resorts feature dedicated Harry Potter-themed lands showcasing both Diagon Alley and Hogsmeade connected by the Hogwarts Express.
