London-based design partners Miraphora Mina and Eduardo Lima have announced they’re returning to A Celebration of Harry Potter at Universal Orlando Resort Jan. 27 -29. This will be their 4th time at this unique and official event especially conceived for fans of J.K. Rowling’s Wizarding World.
This year, their participation will be inspired by their recent success with London’s House of MinaLima, an enchanting four-story gallery-shop featuring the graphic art of the Harry Potter film series and the recently released Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them. House of MinaLima has gained international recognition amongst fans and welcomed more than 200,000 visitors since its opening in June 2016.
Following their tradition of always bringing new and compelling visitor experiences to this event every year, graphic designers Miraphora Mina and Eduardo Lima have created a visually immersive House of MinaLima for this year’s Expo at Universal Orlando Resort. Fans and visitors will be greeted with a magical feast for the eyes. The floor will be adorned with iconic pages of the Daily Prophet and The New York Ghost, while postcards celebrating designs from the films will cascade from the ceiling.
The principal exhibit will be a curated selection of 30 prints from the studio’s vast collection - a 16-year journey through the nine films of J.K. Rowling’s Wizarding World - also on display will be posters, stationery and other MinaLima products. Original props from the Harry Potter films and Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them will be displayed, kindly on loan from Warner Bros. archive.
MinaLima has also designed a special souvenir print for A Celebration of Harry Potter 2017 which will be on display and available to buy exclusively throughout the weekend events. The premium print, created as a limited edition of 200, in hues of green and purple features the facades of Borgin and Burkes and Dystyl Phaelanges, as well as the Dark Mark hovering ominously in the sky. Visitors to House of MinaLima at A Celebration of Harry Potter 2017 will also receive two new collectible badges.
Miraphora Mina and Eduardo Lima will be available to meet and greet fans and participate in an exclusive panel entitled Graphic Design for the Harry Potter Films with MinaLima. In this panel, they’ll share insights into their role as graphic prop designers, and how their paths crossed at the WB film studios in London while working for 10 years on the Harry Potter movies, and more recently on ‘Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them’.
