Lots of Harry Potter at Thiene Castle, which transforms into Hogwarts for two weekends

The Castle of Thiene, in the province of Vicenza, will be transformed into Hogwarts. In fact, Harry Potter fans will arrive from all over Italy to have a ... magical experience. “If you have received the letter of admission you can enter and participate in the Hat Ceremony”: this is how the three days (and two nights) at the Italian School of Magic will begin.

For the ’occasion, the halls and rooms of the Thiene Castle will be themed with scenic decorations to immerse young guests in a magical and fantastic world among lessons in spells, potions, mysteries, fantastic creatures and performances. The event, which has been sold-out for months, will take place over two weekends, Aug. 26-28 and Sept. 2-4, 2022.

“The children who will participate,” says Francesca di Thiene, co-owner of the Castle, "after receiving the letter of admission, will be welcomed into the castle, divided into the four Houses, and will have the opportunity to live for three days inside a real school of magic; those who have already attended the “School” in previous years, on the other hand, will be able to continue their studies and obtain the title of apprentice magician. It is an extraordinarily successful event, year after year; places always sell out in very few days."

The event includes an entertainment program run by professional actors, theaters and set designers. “Our goal,” explains the Scuola di Magia Italiana team, “is to transport participants to another world, a world populated by wizards and witches and permeated with magic. Each participant and staff member will wear an appropriate costume and impersonate a character h24 without ever stepping out of the part.”
