At the popular “Wizarding World of Harry Potter” area in Universal Studios Japan, which celebrated its 10th anniversary this year, students from the school of wizardry will return to Hogwarts(TM) School of Witchcraft and Wizardry for the new semester. We held a special event “Back to Hogwarts” to celebrate this milestone day. This is the first time that this event will be held at Universal Studios Japan.
In the world of works, September 1st marks the start of a new term at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, so it is called “Back to Hogwarts,” and Harry Potter fans around the world celebrate together. It is known as the day when On this memorable day, the three major “Harry Potter” facilities (stage, studio tour, and theme park) will collaborate for the first time. At the Wizarding World of Harry Potter, in addition to a special performance of the “Wand Dance” from the stage play “Harry Potter and the Cursed Child,” Yu Yoshizawa, who plays Harry Potter, made a surprise appearance, which was a great treat for fans. Together, we celebrated the arrival of the new semester in style.
“Back to Hogwarts” is a project limited to 934 winners, named after the boarding platform “Platform 9 and ¾” of the “Hogwarts Express” that travels from the human world to the wizarding world. It opened later. Fans came dressed in their own Harry Potter-themed costumes and thoroughly enjoyed exploring the area, shops, attractions, and other new “magic history.”
Among them, the park’s first performance of the “Wand Dance Show,” a collaboration between Universal Studios Japan’s “Wizarding World of Harry Potter” and the stage play “Harry Potter and the Cursed Child,” caused a great deal of excitement. I did. The “Wand Dance Show” is well-known as a dance entertainment that was featured in the stage play “Harry Potter and the Cursed Child,” and fans were enthusiastic about the special entertainment that was made possible because of this collaboration.
As an additional surprise, when Yu Yoshizawa, who plays Harry Potter in the play “Harry Potter and the Cursed Child”, appeared on stage, there was a huge cheer and the fans were super excited. Another piece of magical history has been added to the 10th anniversary of “The Wizarding World of Harry Potter.”

“I come to this area about 100 times a year, but today I feel a special atmosphere, and I’m really happy that there are so many events happening in this special 10th anniversary year. I haven’t been able to go see the special “Wand Dance Show,” so I saw the special “Wand Dance Show” for the first time, and it was amazing, and I really wanted to go see it on stage. I’m also looking forward to the Death Eater event starting in the fall! (Osaka Prefecture/Woman in her 20s)
“When I found out about this event, I said, “I definitely want to go!” I applied and was able to successfully win and participate. It is no exaggeration to say that “Harry Potter” is my life for me, and “Harry Potter” is my life.

I went to “Studio Tour Tokyo” on its opening day, and of course I went to the stage play “Harry Potter and the Cursed Child.” I’m super excited to be able to participate in a special event where three of my favorite institutions collaborated, and to be able to return to Hogwarts, which I’ve always wanted to return to. It was great to have the luxury of being able to enjoy the area after the park closed, and the “Wand Dance Show” had a different impact from the stage, and it was really fun. I look forward to continuing to enjoy experiences that continue to rewrite the history of magic. ” (Tokyo/Group of women in their 20s)
