Warner Bros. Discovery revealed a Wizarding World Festival is coming to the U.S. in 2023, giving fans from around the globe an opportunity to come together and celebrate Harry Potter and the expanded Wizarding World. 

“The Wizarding World is a global phenomenon with millions of fans that span generations,” says Peter van Roden, senior vice president, Warner Bros. Themed Entertainment. “We are beyond excited to celebrate this magical community and bring everyone together for an epic fan festival – more than a traditional fan fest, a true experiential celebration – a must-see event. From a beloved book series and iconic films to experiential touchpoints all across the globe, the Wizarding World franchise is truly special and we can’t wait to see fans of all ages come together for an event that celebrates it all.” 

Created in partnership with Superfly X and presented with Fever, the festival will include panel discussions, film screenings, special guest appearances, cosplay and trivia competitions, autograph signings, photo opportunities, exclusive merchandise, announcements and more, all taking place in environments befitting the magical world created by J.K. Rowling. 

“Superfly X has a long history in festivals and location-based entertainment, so we’re delighted to bring that expertise to the Wizarding World with a festival of this magnitude,” says Stacy Moscatelli, co-president and chief strategy officer, Superfly X. “The global Wizarding World community is one of the most dedicated, dynamic fanbases in the world so it made perfect sense to us to work with Warner Bros. to celebrate such an iconic franchise. The Wizarding World Festival is sure to conjure memories that will last a lifetime.”
