What was Hogwarts Always?
Guests would be immersed in “Hogwarts Always,” a breathtaking projection show that took you on a voyage through the iconic moments of a year at the cherished school of witchcraft and wizardry, all set against the grand backdrop of Hogwarts Castle (home of Harry Potter and the Forbidden Journey). Available on select nights, this show culminated in four dazzling finales, each celebrating a different Hogwarts house with a brilliant pyrotechnic display.
Guests would become captivated by the voices of beloved characters like Professor Dumbledore, Hagrid, and the Sorting Hat, adding depth and nostalgia to this unforgettable experience.
