A memorable show in the NYC skies
DroneArt Show: Harry Potter™ doesn’t just etch the wonder of the movies onto the NYC skies; it also creates a real sense of connection between fans and the magic overhead. Before taking in the 1,200 drone fleet, you’ll get to enjoy some Butterbeer, grab a souvenir at the merch stand, and receive an LED wristband that lights up during the show.
Complete with a live electric violinist, the drone spectacle will elevate key moments from the Harry Potter™ films — breathing new life into the saga you think you know so well.
You’ll want to get there early to enjoy all the pre-show goodness, especially the unique merch this Dark Arts season that includes wands, scarves and collectibles designed for fans of all ages. Getting there early also ensures you pick the best spot on the lawn!
NYC nights can get a bit chilly this time of year, so bring your favorite blanket and cozy up underneath the stars as the drones dance overhead for 60 captivating minutes…
DroneArt Show: Harry Potter™ reviews
While this will be the very first time the drone show graces NY, it has 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.
