Whether you’re a Wizard or a Muggle, it’s time to grab your wands, and plan your trip for the ‘Ultimate Potter Movie Weekend,’ at the Wyndham Cultural Centre beginning this Friday night.

From March 22 to 24 the Wyndham Cultural Centre will be transformed into a cinema and will host all eight Harry Potter movies in a marathon style three day event.

Whether it’s to see one, three or all eight films, patrons are encouraged to come clad in their favourite Harry Potter-inspired costume, with prizes on offer for best dressed and lots of other surprises in store throughout the weekend.

Appropriately, the weekend will kick off with the very first Harry Potter film, 2001’s Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone, being screened from 7pm to 9.30pm on Friday March 22.

The rest of the seven movies will then be shown in chronological order, beginning at 10.30am on Saturday March 23, with Harry Potter and Chamber of Secrets, followed by the Prisoner of Azkaban at 1.30pm, The Goblet of Fire at 4pm and The Order of Phoenix closing out day two at 10pm.

The marathon will then conclude on Sunday March 24 with Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince from 12.30pm to 2pm, before Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part I and II are shown back to back from 3pm to 8.30pm.

Tickets are five dollars for each movie.
