The Wizarding World of Harry Potter Surprise Event for July 15 Midnight Screening

Universal Orlando Resort surprised guests who attended the midnight film screening of "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2" at AMC Universal Cineplex 20 with something they could only have dreamed of - exclusive, complimentary access to The Wizarding World of Harry Potter. Immediately following the film, these select guests had The Wizarding World of Harry Potter all to themselves from 3 a.m. to 5 a.m.

Moviegoers were notified of this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity following the film. After celebrating in the theaters, more than 3,000 excited guests walked a red carpet to the place where the wonder, excitement and adventure of the Harry Potter films will live on. During their visit, guests experienced the wand choosing them at Ollivanders, tasted Butterbeer, toured Hogwarts castle and enjoyed many other experiences found only at The Wizarding World of Harry Potter.

If I could marry a theme park, it would be Universal. Seriously, though, this was brilliant. I wish I could have been there.

How very cool! I hear the rides weren't operating, but the castle was open for touring, the shops were open, and Butterbeer was available. Fun!

Respond to this video... BTW,based on this season Of Doctor Who,it would appear we Americans are stealing that as well

@WhatsAnimation Im going to assume by your rant that your British? Harry Potter wasnt stolen by Universal or Americans...JK Rowling Was approached by Disney and Universal to build the park and seeing as nobody in England had any intentions of building a Harry Potter Themed anything...Guess who did? You guess right Universal Orlando Did,Disney wanted full creative control over everything,that is why they dont have it...Thanks for being British,cause i love Brits and thanks for our rant

@xyz01012011 No,what happened is you bought your express pass on a dreadfully slow day when express wasnt necessary..I work there and always tell people to attempt to ride first and if they experience long lines then consider the express..We get a projected attendance every morning and can generally tell the guest if express will be needed or if they can simply walk on the ride.....Personally anytime i go to USF The Simpsons ride has a crazy line,and MIB and The Mummy can be a bit long as well
