Warner Bros. Discovery’s global “Back to Hogwarts 2026” programme, launched on 26 July, features theatrical re‑releases of all eight Harry Potter films from late August through early September 2026. These celebrations serve as a precursor to a new Harry Potter series scheduled to debut on HBO on 25 December. Cinematic events are expanding globally. In France, re-releases are set for over 200 theaters. In Spain, theaters in Mallorca are offering digital and original-version screenings, while Estepona is organizing a three-day tribute titled “25 Years of Magic” from 3 to 5 September. In the Basque Country, the film is being re-released dubbed in Euskera. In Italy, Venice will host an exclusive event on 1 September. In Chile, themed dining experiences are being launched in Santiago. On 1 September, hundreds of fans gathered in London to celebrate the fictional start of the Hogwarts school year. To manage crowds at King’s Cross Station, an interactive experience was hosted at the Old Billingsgate market near the River Thames, allowing fans to engage in activities such as boarding the Hogwarts Express and sending owl mail. In conjunction with these events, Warner Bros. Games launched a franchise sale on Steam. The video game Hogwarts Legacy is being offered at a 90 percent discount, and players can claim a free “Astronomer’s Hat” cosmetic DLC through September 30. Other titles, including Lego Harry Potter and Quidditch Champions, are also included in the sale. Commercial activities include themed travel and collectibles. In Brazil, Cinemark and LATAM Airlines partnered on 18 August for a themed flight to Salvador.
