Universal Orlando Resort
released a few tidbits about the upcoming holiday festivities at the Wizarding World of Harry Potter, including The Magic of Christmas at Hogwarts Castle where images and lights will be projected onto the school every evening from November 18, 2017 - January 6, 2018. This is in addition to all of the festive foods, including the return of hot butterbeer across Islands of Adventures and Universal Studios Florida.
The Frog Choir at Hogsmeade will sing the following new songs during the holiday festivities:
Quote:
- “Christmas at Hogwarts” – This wizarding carol casts a Christmas spell that echoes through the halls of Hogwarts.
- “We Wish You A Merry Christmas” – The choir will bring a new and festive life to this classic holiday song.
- “The Most Magical Yule Ball of All” – Hosting the TriWizard Tournament also brings with it a magical event known as the Yule Ball. This song captures all the magic, elegance and wonder of this very special night.
- “I Cast a Spell On Father Christmas” – This fun song is a cautionary tale asking young wizards to be sure of the incantation before casting a spell.
Celebrated songstress Celestina Warbeck will debut four new winter songs at Diagon Alley:
Quote:
- “Nothing Like a Holiday Spell” – There are many spells and charms in the wizarding world. But during this time of year, conjuring warm feelings of yuletide cheer is the most magical spell of all.
- “Accio Christmas” – This calypso inspired song officially brings a Christmas rhythm of the islands to the British Isles.
- “My Baby Gave Me a Hippogriff for Christmas” – Have you ever received a gift that wasn’t exactly what you were expecting? This song describes one such moment our singing sorceress experienced.
- “A Witch and Wizard’s Wintry Wondrous Land” – This classic wizarding carol shows there’s nothing more lovely than sharing the Christmas season with family friends—and of course Celestina’s fans.
Christmas at the Wizarding World of Harry Potter will also be available for fans at Orlando's sister sites, Universal Studios Hollywood and Universal Studios Japan this fall and winter season. SnitchSeeker will be covering the opening in Orlando and Los Angeles this week, so keep an eye on live footage and coverage across the site and social media.
