Harry Potter isn’t just for the pages and big screen anymore. This summer, the DroneArt Show: Harry Potter will bring iconic scenes from the Wizarding World to life with 1,200 illuminated drones.

From July 16 to 18, Subaru Park in Chester, Pennsylvania will transform to celebrate the 25th anniversary of the Harry Potter film franchise.

The 60-minute, open-air show will feature advanced drone choreography, creating the Hogwarts Express, sorting hat, beloved characters, and more in the sky. Dialogue from the films and a live violinist will add to the magic of the performance. Attendees will also be part of the action with LED wristbands.

Each show starts at 9:15 p.m., with doors opening at 7:15 p.m. Before the show begins, guests will be able to shop for themed food, drinks, and Harry Potter merchandise.

The drone show features four different seating zones, with tickets starting at $49.90 for ages 12 and older, $29.90 for children ages 3 to 11, and group tickets starting at $45.90.
