Why do people have to choose Disney or universal. Why not like them all. When I go to Orlando, I always include both universal and Disney parks. Both provide something different and unique. This is a great show, certainly better than my neighbor's Home Depot $39 light show
This turned out quite brilliantly ... we've done many projects with Universal and they have always been terrific to work with. Special thanks to Michele Mellor, Universal's Entertainment Production Manager, for providing seamless and consistent project coordination throughout. We provided Architectural, Mechanical, Structural and Electrical Engineering services, Lee Greenwood and Slalom Construction provided the construction services for this complicated build.
My favorite part was easily the Weasley twins covering the castle in their posters because a.) they’re my favorite characters and b.) it looked INCREDIBLE
This is honestly the best nighttime show they've done since the original boat/pyrotechnics show they used to do in the Universal lagoon! Just wish it was a bit longer.
Just saw this in Hollywood last night. Watched it three times. Gorgeous. Magical. Wonderful. Even better than the "Nighttime Lights" show. This is the best video footage on UA-cam of the show (none of the USH clips out yet are any good - people, seriously, film the show, from the beginning, hold your camera still, don't keep zooming in and out, don't talk or cough through it - otherwise, don't bother). Your colors and blacks are great and nice resolution, clear & crisp. Good framing. Looks killer on my 73" DLP.😃⚡🎄🎁
...even though they use the same projection system? Hogwarts Castle's surface is much more complicated than Cinderellas Castle. TOT is close, if not a little more complex
I believe this was from a media night previewing the show for content creators so that there is room to set up tripods and what not, so there were only about 30-50 people watching it. Most likely the reason for the lack of applause.
So it's a few years later for this comment but hey, screw it. This is only in Islands of Adventure as there is no Harry Potter show like this in Universal. Instead over in Universal there is a new lagoon show (opened up about 3 years ago) called the Universal Cinematic Celebration and is a similar projection show on the buildings of New York as seen from Central Park. It has more fireworks included in the show, plus lasers and water screens. 2019's HHN also had a lagoon show using that set up called "The Marathon of Madness" that included some of the IPs of that year: Stranger Things, Ghostbusters, Killer Klowns from Outer Space, and the Universal Classic Monsters.
It only looks better than Disney’s cause they got more surface area to play with. Magic Kingdoms is far more impressive due to the complexity of the castle, but this is great and can’t wait to see it. What they need is something over at universal studios to do a show based around their films like Disney do. Would love to see E.T, the simpsons, men in black, despicable me, Nintendo, jaws!!, fast and furious, the mummy and a massive transformers battle in a projection show, would be awesome!!!!!
Its pretty nice, certainly better than the meh thing over in hollywood, but its still not that great. It really seems universal cant pace a nightime show to save their lives. This is kinda dull, where is the greatness, the epicness, thats something that should be very easy considering this is Harry Potter. Also, animations are weird, especially that Yule Ball scene, my god that was horrific, it was so freaky. Also, I literally laughed outloud when all the fireworks appeared. Cant actually have fireworks, so lets just project, great work *sarcasm*. But you know, after the abysmally awful 100 years “spetacular” they had, which is 15 mins ill never get back and I chose that boringness over another ride on Gringotts, this is a step up, its prettier, its got better visuals and its festive, but still is SOOOOO far anything what Disney has done, which actually doesnt even go with the rest of the Harry Potter things at universal since that is the one thing that has been able to challenge Disney, while the rest of Universal? Well we know whos much better.

"But you know, after the abysmally awful 100 years “spetacular” they had" For movie makings, not theme parks, and yes they are successful on movies. Oh they removed that show and are replacing it with something better if you didn't know? Nice try. "SOOOOO far anything what Disney has done, which actually doesnt even go with the rest of the Harry Potter things at universal since that is the one thing that has been able to challenge Disney, while the rest of Universal?" Good news for others, bad news for you. They're remaking USF and IOA with at least 10 new E Tickets (2 of which involve HP..) so in 5 years you'll probably wanna take that back "Well we know whos much better." Long term or short term? Because last I checked, they are not messing around with their 4th park. Which is fantastic news for me and other theme park goers because there will not be pixie dusters congesting up Middle Earth.
This show is on repeat every 20 minutes throughout the night. Just saw it in person and the area is not built to handle massive crowds for a full 15+ minute show.
I couldn't help but cry this was so magical I want to be there live
5:46
Goosebumps and tears, if you grew up with Harry Potter :')
🥹🥹🥹
Goosebumps and tears even if you just recently watched Harry Potter 😂
I’m not ashamed to say that the first time I saw this I cried. It’s so beautiful.
I'm not ashamed to say that this was my first time watching and it did not disappoint 🔥🔥🔥

Well, for halloween, it's universal, and Christmas, Disneyland

archdynamics It's seriously gorgeous and amazing. Nice work.⚡🎄🎁
1:46 I would have cried at this part if I were there live. Freaking nostalgia; __;
I'm crying rigth now. It's so awesome to see this
Wonderous to behold
Quite magical....Especially for an old and long-time HP fan!!!
I cried at leaving Hogwarts. For some reason it reminded me of all the wonderful actors who have passed on throughout the years. Raise your wands/*😢
My favorite part was easily the Weasley twins covering the castle in their posters because a.) they’re my favorite characters and b.) it looked INCREDIBLE

Hogwarts is my home
Isn't it everyone's hidden home
My heart is you home
A much needed pick me up after a long day. Thanks again ITM!!! :)
I just watched it today. It was awesome...
LOTS OF GOOSEBUMPS!
Love it. Hope they do it next year so I can see it in person
I just saw this 2 weeks ago. Filmed it and threw it away after seeing your video. Brilliant job!
Why did this make me emotional
2:18, this is where i cry openly :O Ravenclaw here :)
@Jasper Brown yay for Ravenclaws :)
@Jasper Brown haha am a bookworm, eccentric lol , hence ravenclaws ftw :D
lol I just watched the chamber of secrets last night DANG it was the best one
THE MAGIC OF CHRISTMAS!!!!!!!!!!
I love the nod to the quidditch players of all the houses and Fred and George's mischief
I refuse to believe this was done with lights. I saw it in person and the only explanation is magic.
I refuse to believe this was done with lights and the only explanation is magic is real ✨✨✨
6:42 my man was the first to cheer
If it looks this good on video, it's going to look awesome in person!
Kim CG The video doesn't do it justice, it needs to be Seen in person.⚡🎄🎁
Spectacular
I got to experience this when I went to Harry Potter World in January 2019. It was so magical!! Ravenclaw here!!

this was an amazing experience would be nice if they have one for Halloween too x
Yes
They do a dark arts one now
So beautiful!
I'm screaming
Wow that's cool castle is awesome
Wow spectacular ty
The Yule Ball from the Goblet of Fire is good
Im more of a Disney Fan , but these projections are better than Disney
Disney's projections are 100% better they recently just got new projection system for Tower of Terror and it's amazing!
Did you forget the Happily Ever After projections?
...even though they use the same projection system? Hogwarts Castle's surface is much more complicated than Cinderellas Castle. TOT is close, if not a little more complex
TheShining Katana is the right this is better
disney just shows scenes from movies and its boring. This actually uses the castle and is about harry potter only.
Tough crowd. Lol
Jessie Perdomo Yeah, right? 😂😂😂Just saw it last night. So beautiful.
I believe this was from a media night previewing the show for content creators so that there is room to set up tripods and what not, so there were only about 30-50 people watching it. Most likely the reason for the lack of applause.
When are your posting the new Star Tours destination?
Does anyone know which version of Hedwigs Theme that is at 1: 40
OMG THAT WAS SO COOL
So amazing
how often and what times do the projections start?
Total Shots they start as soon as the sun goes down and it happens every 20 minutes until the park closes
Omg it's beautiful
LOVE it!!!
Is the show better from Islands of Adventure or Universal?
So it's a few years later for this comment but hey, screw it. This is only in Islands of Adventure as there is no Harry Potter show like this in Universal.

Not even close my friend!
Someone's picky picky picky about pixie dust..
Yes. Disney isn’t even close.
It only looks better than Disney’s cause they got more surface area to play with.
Magic Kingdoms is far more impressive due to the complexity of the castle, but this is great and can’t wait to see it.

HP in Disney? hahahah haters gonna hate.. :)

Which is why they're redesigning the land DC used to take up for this. It took them long enough.
Fox Ia I work there and it’s not actually being redesigned for space. It’s going to be a new simulation ride. Just to clarify :)
Disney's is wayyy Better! This was boring!
Boring as in dragging in crowds? Yes, a failure. Even though it received praise from many many media outlets..
WDW_Mickey do you know the attraction universal studios is founded in 1964 do you know it i saw it on google man
WDW_Mickey Disney is gay
Google is not always true. Anyone can put things on Google!
WDW_Mickey That information is true.
I have to see this one day. 🥹🥹
