Universal Surprises Guests at Midnight Screening of the Final Harry Potter Film
Universal Orlando Resort Surprises Guests at Midnight Screening of the Final Harry Potter Film with Once-in-a-Lifetime Opportunity: Exclusive Access to The Wizarding World of Harry Potter
Universal Orlando Resort surprised guests who attended the midnight film screening of “Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2” at AMC Universal Cineplex 20 with something they could only have dreamed of – exclusive, complimentary access to The Wizarding World of Harry Potter. Immediately following the film, these select guests had The Wizarding World of Harry Potter all to themselves from 3 a.m. to 5 a.m.
Moviegoers were notified of this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity following the film. After celebrating in the theaters, more than 3,000 excited guests walked a red carpet to the place where the wonder, excitement and adventure of the Harry Potter films will live on. During their visit, guests experienced the wand choosing them at Ollivanders, tasted Butterbeer, toured Hogwarts castle and enjoyed many other experiences found only at The Wizarding World of Harry Potter.
Inspired by J.K. Rowling’s compelling stories and characters, The Wizarding World of Harry Potter features multiple themed attractions, shops and a restaurant – all faithful to the films. For more information about The Wizarding World of Harry Potter and Universal Orlando Resort, visit www.universalorlando.com.

Oh my boys would have loved that. They said more than once these past few weeks that they wished they could see the final movie at Universal and go to the park. This would have definitely been a dream come true for them. What a wonderful surprise for those lucky ones at that showing!

I just got the PM. 
I was there. It was a really cool experience. Even though the rides weren't running (except for Flight of the Hipogriff), it was still really neat being there after park hours. I had a lot of fun
