Harry Potter Films Returning to Imax Theaters for One Week in October
Potterheads, rejoice!
By Chelsea Stone
All aboard the Hogwarts Express! Turns out, all you witches and wizards out there can go home again. The Harry Potter films are returning to Imax theaters for a limited time. Accio tickets!
To add to the anticipation of Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them, the first in a brand new crop of movies set in the Wizarding World set to hit theaters on Nov. 18, Warner Bros. Pictures is re-releasing the original eight Harry Potter movies for the week of Oct. 13. This is the first time the first two Harry Potter films will ever be shown in Imax.
These exclusive Harry Potter showings will include a special, never-before-seen look at Fantastic Beasts and recorded greetings from the film's stars. The stars will also make live appearances at screenings in Los Angeles and London and participate in a Q&A, so time to get a plane ticket — or hop on that broomstick.
"'Harry Potter' is one of the most beloved film franchises of all time and is incredibly important to the history of Imax. Therefore, being able to offer each installment — especially the initial two for the very first time in Imax — makes this a truly magical event for fans,' said Greg Foster, CEO of Imax Entertainment and senior executive vice president of Imax Corp, in a statement.
We couldn't agree more, and we can't wait for the next two months to be literally filled with magic.
