Christmas in the Wizarding World

All your favourite pieces from the Harry Potter film scores will be bursting forth from our speakers at Fed Square from 4pm, so it’s time to get in the Wizarding World spirit! There’ll be a free Christmas in the Wizarding World photo opp, and from 4.30pm we’ll have free ice-cream giveaways by the Main Stage (limited numbers – so get there quick-smart!). Use the codeword ‘BIRTHDAY’ to get your freebie.

Be sure to rally promptly at 5pm, as Pia Miranda – actor and massive Harry Potter fan – will welcome you to Fed Square to commence the celebrations on the Main Stage. She’ll also be on the lookout for Best Dressed Individual and Best Group Effort to give away some pretty special prizes, so be sure to dress in your finest Wizarding World-inspired attire!

As part of the celebrations for the 20th anniversary of the release of Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone, head down to Fed Square to see the cast of Harry Potter and the Cursed Child perform! Get there early to get a great spot, then stay for the wand workshop and then the film on the big screen. Check out the Harry Potter and the Cursed Child website to learn about the live show at Melbourne’s Princess Theatre and how to purchase tickets.

Wands at the ready! It’s time to participate in a virtual wand combat workshop with wand combat choreographer, Paul Harris, who worked on the iconic wand combat scenes in the Harry Potter films. There’ll be another special prize for Best Wand Combat moves!

Join in the celebration of 20 Years of Movie Magic with a special free screening of Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone at Fed Square. Relive the magic, or see it for the first time, and you’ll be one of the first to catch a special sneak peek of the new Magical Movie Mode film version! Don’t forget to dress up in your favourite Wizarding World-inspired costumes and be sure to take a selfie and post to social media with #20YearsOfMovieMagic and #FedSquare!
