The celebration marks the 20th anniversary of Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone. From August 31 to September 6, fans can enjoy the films in 141 theaters nationwide (find the full list of locations here). The best part? Tickets are only $5! Yes, you read that correctly—affordable movie tickets that won’t deplete your Gringotts vault!
For those looking to enhance their experience, a $25 “festival pass” is available, which comes with a collectible keychain, a special refillable cup for just $3.50 through the end of the year, and a commemorative festival badge. Count me in for all of it!
“The Wizarding World holds a special place in everyone’s hearts,” said Cinemark in a statement. “Many moviegoers first experienced the magic of Hogwarts in our theaters, and we are excited to welcome them back for this exclusive chance to relive the magic in Cinemark XD.”
More Ways to Celebrate
If you’re feeling a sudden urge to embrace your Muggle life, there are more ways to celebrate the 20th anniversary of The Boy Who Lived. You can purchase newly designed cover illustrations for each book in the series, which are absolutely stunning. After all, if you’re going to binge the films, you might as well reread the books—Hermione would approve of that, right?
Additionally, if you’re in New York City, make sure to visit The New York Historical Society, where an entire exhibit dedicated to Potter memorabilia is taking place. You can expect to see J.K. Rowling’s original sketches of Hogwarts, letters exchanged with her editor, and costumes from Harry Potter and the Cursed Child. Plus, there are various exciting events, including an owl walk in Central Park and a conversation with audiobook narrator Jim Dale.
May your 20th anniversary celebrations be filled with nostalgia and plenty of magic. And if you feel inspired to draw a lightning bolt on your forehead, go for it!
