Wizarding World Wand Installation

About

A dazzling installation of Wizarding World Wands will be located at Smithfield in the City Centre from 21 to 27 March to celebrate the release of Fantastic Beasts: The Secrets of Dumbledore, in cinemas on 8 April 2022.

Standing 15 feet tall and set within concrete bases, the nine wands – bringing to life those belonging to some of the favourite characters in the Harry Potter and Fantastic Beasts films – will illuminate each evening, performing a light show to the thrilling music from the Fantastic Beasts and Harry Potter films.
