Harry Potter x The Sun King, what an unexpected crossover! Yet, in 2026, as the world's most famous bespectacled wizard prepares to celebrate his 25th anniversary, the much-anticipated Return to Hogwarts will take place in the gardens imagined by Le Nôtre for the Palace of Versailles. Join us on August 29th to be part of this show that promises to be exceptional, available by registration, all without spending a single galleon!
One exceptional location after another
After the stunning Sainte-Geneviève library last year, which already did things big with a huge qu...iz and the presence of the French voice of Dolores Umbridge, this year, it’s the Château of Versailles that will host magic enthusiasts for a uniquely joyful evening of celebration. For this special occasion, the venue will completely rethink its famous event of the Grandes Eaux Nocturnes to offer us a magical show.

Throughout the afternoon and evening, aspiring wizards can enjoy various activities, which are currently kept under wraps. The only information available so far is that the Orangerie will be completely redesigned in the colors of the four houses, and the evening will feature a unique show in tribute to the first movie, specially imagined for the occasion with the help of drones and spectacular lights.
All kinds of celebrations
While this day is sure to be the highlight of 2026 for Potterheads across France, many other activities are expected in the coming months. Just a few days ago, the Harry Potter Book Nights took place (from February 5 to 8). In the same spirit, there will be a film concert of Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone.Will be organized at the Grand Rex in November. And it will even continue next year, with the release of the HBO series. Plenty of magic to enjoy!
