Universal surprises Harry Potter midnight viewers

Harry Potter fans who lined up for the midnight showing of "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2" at the AMC Cineplex at Universal CityWalk got a little surprise when the movie was over.

Universal Orlando Resort surprised guests who attended the movie with an 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 opportunity once the film was over. After celebrating in the theaters, more than 3,000 excited guests walked a red carpet to the area known has Hogsmead where the spirit 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.
