The wands will be displayed for a week in each of these cities starting in March next year.Īs for other 20th-anniversary celebrations, fans can look forward to special screenings of the film that will take place across the UK and Ireland starting on October 29. These cities include Hull, Stoke, Reading, and Birmingham. The installation is going on tour in four cities in the United Kingdom until the release of Fantastic Beasts: The Secrets of Dumbledore. The best part is that the wands will be around for quite a while. It is an honour to have the ands displayed in Leicester Square, considering its legacy of hosting premieres for the ‘Harry Potter’ and ‘Fantastic Beasts’ films over two decades, and we hope the fans will love and enjoy the light shows as much as we do.

It is so exciting to have the Wizarding World ands brought back to London, and we are thrilled to celebrate the 20th anniversary of ‘Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone’ being released in UK cinemas. Polly Cochrane, Country Manager, UK & IE at Warner Bros., says that they are thrilled to be able to celebrate this special Harry Potter occasion. Note that the square will be closed for a private event on October 18. During that time, the wands will be illuminated and perform a light show every half hour, accompanied by the music from the Potter and Fantastic Beasts films.
#The art of wand work full
If you’d like to have the full magical experience, go visit the square between 6:00 and 8:35 p.m. If you are jumping up and down with excitement right now in true childlike fashion, you’ll be happy to know that the installation is officially open to the public until October 25. Paul Harris, who choreographed the wand scenes in Harry Potter, attended the unveiling event and offered a wand training class for local children (child or not, we would have joined if we were there in person). The wands are exact, giant replicas of the wands in the films. This installation will take your breath away – it features nine wands from our favorite characters from Harry Potter and Fantastic Beasts and is 15 feet (4.5 meters) tall, forming a 60-foot (18 meters) walkway. Little did we know that we’d still be celebrating the magic two decades later. For those who remember, the first Potter film had its premiere in Leicester Square in 2001. This calls for some serious celebration, and so far, there are plenty of events dedicated to doing just that.ĭress in your best Hogwarts robes and get ready for one of the most magical experiences you’ll probably have this year: A magical installation of Wizarding World wands is now working its magic in Leicester Square, London. This year, however, is extra special, because the Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone film is celebrating its 20th anniversary on November 16. So, make sure you have the latest version of Fresco installed, try out our new features, and share your artwork with us or using the hashtag #AdobeFresco.There’s always a little bit of extra magic in the air this time of year, mostly because fall is the time when Hogwarts students return to school, and we love to commemorate that special day every year on September 1. We have some great sessions planned, and even more cool new features updates coming, which we’ll be sharing more about in the coming months. We have had a busy year so far, but we’re not slowing down now! We are halfway to MAX 2022 and we are so excited to see you in person again this October. We’re excited to share that anyone who wants access to premium shapes, brushes and more can now get Fresco for just £8.99 a year. Fresco has always been free, but as more people are looking for new ways to create, we want to ensure that our premium features are even more accessible. Whether picking up a new lockdown hobby, finding a new stress reliever, or making it a habit of drawing at home with their kids, drawing has become a priority for many new users in the last few years. In fall of 2019, we never could have known how the world would change in the months that followed, but since then we have seen more and more people falling in love with drawing.

It’s been a non-stop journey of improvement and growth for Fresco.
