This Dark Arts experience unleashes the darkest creatures and villains, including the infamous Lord Voldemort. Lights, music and special effects will show a darker side of “The Wizarding World of Harry Potter.” As darkness falls on Hogwarts castle, Dementors, Death Eaters and Mountain Trolls will cloak the castle with sinister images. Lord Voldemort himself will make a chilling appearance, and can only be defeated by the powerful execution of the Patronus spell.
