With the decline of hometown cinemas during the crucible of the COVID-19 pandemic, a glimmer of hope comes from the boy who lived. Marcus Theatres announced that in honor of the 20-year anniversary of the Harry Potter series, select theatres will be showing all eight movies from Aug. 29 – Sept. 6. 

“I was pretty young when the Harry Potter movies first came out, so I’m excited to have the chance to watch the movies in theaters,” senior Ashley Haberberger said. A whole new generation of fans are now able to watch the series on the bug screen for the first time.

The anniversary kickoff begins Aug. 29-31 will be where only “Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone” will be shown to honor its two decades on the big screen. After a couple days off, Potterheads will have a chance to see all eight movies over Labor Day weekend for just $5 a ticket. Marcus Theatres is also offering the Hogwarts Express Pass that allows any moviegoer to see all eight films for $20. We’ve all missed the magic of the movies during the past year, and Marcus Theatres is bringing it back, literally!
