For travel agents looking to book a unique winter vacation for clients, Universal Orlando Resort announced Monday the return of A Celebration of Harry Potter on January 26-28, 2018.

As part of a partnership with Warner Bros., travelers visiting Universal Orlando will be able to experience a fan event that features an array of interactive and engaging experiences in the Wizarding World of Harry Potter portion of the theme park.

For the 2018 event, Stanislav Yanevski (Viktor Krum) and James and Oliver Phelps (Fred and George Weasley) will attend and participate in festivities throughout the weekend. Additional talent will be announced at a later date.

The three-day celebration will allow visitors to attend Q&A sessions with talent from the movies, participate in the interactive activities and displays from J.K. Rowling's Wizarding World at the Harry Potter Expo, behind-the-scenes panels and demonstrations and much more.

Clients will also be able to visit The Wizarding World of Harry Potter: Hogsmeade at Universal's Islands of Adventure and The Wizarding World of Harry Potter: Diagon Alley at Universal Studios Florida. The Hogwarts Express will be traveling between the two lands with a park-to-park ticket as well.
