Universal Orlando Resort not only created a truly immersive world but each year host a weekend dedicated to the world of Harry Potter.

A Celebration of Harry Potter has taken place each year in January since 2014 and is a huge fan event. The event doesn't just celebrate the parks but also the films and book series.

Each year a number of cast members from the films take part in Q&A panels. There are also demonstrations from those who worked on the film, fun activities and a huge Expo.

Fans also dress up as some of their favourite characters from the books and movies making the Wizarding World even more spectacular.

The event allows fans to get together and celebrate the world that J.K. Rowling created.
