This Harry Potter™drone show rings in the Dark Arts season, with themed merch, a live violin performance, and Butterbeer 

A spellbinding celebration of Harry Potter™ films 

Some of the most nostalgic moments from the franchise will make the Phoenix skies their home come October. A live violinist will perform the films’ stunning themed soundtrack as a massive fleet of drones paint beloved characters and memories in the night sky. All attendees will get a synchronized LED wristband that lights up in response to the drones overhead, ushering a real sense of connection as the show goes on. 

The experience goes beyond a drone show: it’s an opportunity to relish in childhood memories and make new ones with friends, family and fellow fans. 

Before the drone element even takes over the Phoenix skyline, you’ll get to bask in the universe of Harry Potter™ films by enjoying delicious food and drinks — including the iconic Butterbeer — and securing themed merch (with special additions this Dark Arts season!)

The entire evening is a magical celebration of the films you know and love. 

DroneArt Show: Harry Potter reviews

While the experience takes place in Phoenix, it’s also charmed cities across the globe, gathering over 800,000 attendees. Here’s what some of them had to say:

💭 “Fantastic experience! My wife, our two kids, and I had an amazing time at the Harry Potter drone show by Fever tonight. The drone effects, music, and atmosphere were truly magical, and the kids were completely captivated. Such a fun and memorable family night — highly recommend for any Harry Potter fan!” — David C.

💭 “It was magical, no matter if your 5 or 80 this show is for all ages. Would recommend to anyone. Surprised my husband for the second time and he loved it.” — Pilar P.

💭 “As a true Harry Potter fan, I really appreciated the care and thoughtfulness with the way the whole show was put together. It wasn’t just basic/simple/generic HP pictures with Hedwig’s theme playing in the background – the entire experience was so immersive that it felt like I was watching a movie or a play with the perfect mix of joyful nostalgia and exciting elements I’d never seen before. I teared up several times. I hadn’t felt this happy since I first watched the movies as a kid. And to be able to share it with my 7 year old son tonight – it was nothing short of real magic.” — Lizy S.
