Universal Resort's new projection show to light up Hogwarts Castle

22 Jan 2018 . BY Lauren Heath-Jones

The show features projection mapping, special effects, lights and music to celebrate the four Hogwarts Houses

Universal Orlando Resort is set to unveil a spectacular new experience at The Wizarding World of Harry Potter at the end of this month.

The Nighttime Lights of Hogwarts Castle (Nighttime Lights) is a projection show that celebrates the four Hogwarts houses - Gryffindor, Ravenclaw, Hufflepuff and Slytherin.

Set to music based on the original scores from the Harry Potter films, the show tells the story of the Hogwarts houses, bringing to life the essence and spirit of the individual houses through state-of-the-art projection mapping, special effects and lighting.

Nighttime Lights is the second projection mapping experience to be featured at The Wizarding World of Harry Potter, after The Magic of Christmas at Hogwarts Castle debuted over the festive season.

Nighttime Lights will officially debut on 31 January 2018, during A Celebration of Harry Potter 2018, with previews on 27 and 28 January, and will run from 31 January to 5 February, and then again from 7 to 12 February.

The show will also be featured at Universal Studios Hollywood.
