Full Wizarding World opening fireworks show - Harry Potter film stars light Hogwarts Castle

Most of the major stars from the Harry Potter movies helped light Hogwarts Castle in one of the opening ceremonies for The Wizarding World of Harry Potter in Universal's Islands of Adventure theme park.
On stage were Michael Gambon (Albus Dumbledore), Tom Felton (Draco Malfoy), Matthew Lewis (Neville Longbottom), Daniel Radcliffe (Harry Potter), James and Oliver Phelps (Fred and George Weasley), Bonnie Wright (Ginny Weasley) and Rupert Grint (Ron Weasley). J.K. Rowling was also in attendance, but didn't make any public appearances.
For the ceremony, Radcliffe and Grint arrived via flying car, while the others came on the Knight Bus that wheeled around the corner and parked in front of Hogwarts. The music for the show was performed by the Orlando Philharmonic, led by John Williams.

I actually think Universal should have a nightly fireworks show at Islands of Adventure (at least during the summer)! Thumbs up if you agree!

@davidpaw22 Yes, you can visit inside it. I believe there is also a ride inside as well. But yes, you can go inside the castle.

[davidpaw22]

@Medimento I mean can you visit inside Hogwarts or it is just a big building made out of something as if it is only for view outside. Now that I know (I watch other videos too), I will looking forward to visit this place!

[Medimento]

@davidpaw22 No Hogwarts is not real. But there is a place called "the Wizarding World of Harry Potter" and they have places which all appear in the movies, and you can go to them. Some have roller coaster rides and what not.
