Harry Potter Back to Hogwarts Celebration at Grand Central Terminal, New York City⚡️🚂✨
For the first time ever, the world famous Harry Potter Back to Hogwarts countdown celebration was held on September 1, 2024 around 11 AM in Grand Central Terminal, New York.
This countdown celebration show began with a musical performance by Harry Potter and the Cursed Child on Broadway. Additionally, members of the cast from the New York City production of Harry Potter and the Cursed Child participated in the festivities.
The Hogwarts countdown was hosted by Kierra Lewis, with guest star Bonnie Wright, who portrayed Ginny Weasley in the Harry Potter movies.
The Hogwarts Express Countdown is an annual tradition among Harry Potter fans that marks the beginning of the academic year at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. This event typically takes place on September 1st, coinciding with the fictional date when students are expected to board the Hogwarts Express train from Platform 9¾ at King’s Cross Station in London.
In the Harry Potter series, the Hogwarts Express departs from Platform 9¾ at precisely 11 AM on September 1st, transporting students to their magical school. Over the years, this fictional event has been celebrated by fans in real life, who gather at King’s Cross Station dressed as characters from the series. The countdown to 11 AM has become a focal point for these gatherings, where fans eagerly await announcements and visual displays related to the Hogwarts Express.
This year’s Back to Hogwarts celebration expanded its reach internationally, including locations such as France, Italy, Spain, Germany, China, Japan, with New York City being one of the prominent venues for this magical event. 🚂✨
I hope that the countdown at the King’s Cross Station in London will also be brought back next year.
May you all have a magical year ahead!
