Enter wonderful world of wizardry with Harry Potter

-

Vue Cinema chain is aiming to bring back the feelgood factor with a bonanza of movies about boy wizard Harry Potter in October.

The Harry Potter marathon will see the classic films back on the big screen for fans across the country.

The marathon mania has already kicked off with the first four films shown last week with the last four from October 9.

Wands at the ready as Harry Potter is returning to Vue for an epic movie marathon fortnight. Fans of the wizarding world can join hero Harry Potter (Daniel Radcliffe) and his friends Ron Weasley (Rupert Grint) and Hermoine Granger (Emma Watson) on their epic adventure at Hogwarts as all eight instalment­s of the series are back on the big screen, where they belong.

The marathon kicked off with the first four Harry Potter films, showing at all Vue venues. Starting with Harry Potter and the Philosophe­r’s Stone fans watched Harry’s journey of enrolling into the school of wizardry as he battled some unusual challenges in his first year. Harry’s struggles continued in Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets as he found himself fighting ancient prophecy causing havoc in the Hogwarts halls.

Muggles watched the young wizards and witches become a force to be reckoned with as they delved into the mystery of an escaped prisoner in Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban and competing in a dangerous tournament in Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire.

Pottermani­a will continue at Vue from Friday October 9 with the remaining four films of the famous franchise.

With the warning of Lord Voldemort’s return ignored, Harry and headmaster Dumbledore are targeted by Wizard authoritie­s in Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix. As Harry ventures into his sixth year he decides to learn more about the dark past of The Dark Lord in Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince.

The epic saga comes to an end with Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, with the finale split into two epic parts. Harry’s battle with Voldemort reaches its pinnacle when Harry, Ron and Hermoine race against time as battle rages at Hogwarts.

Eduoardo Leal, head of Screen Content at Vue Entertainm­ent, said: “Whether you’re a hardcore fan who wants to binge the lot, a complete newcomer to the wizarding world, or if you just want to relive a particular favourite from the series, there is no better way to experience these great stories than on the big screen with the ultimate picture and sound quality.”

Potter fans can also be sure to enjoy the tales of the boy who lived in the safest possible way, thanks to the range of measures introduced to keep staff and customers safe.

These include a booking system with in-built physical distancing, reduced touch points, hand sanitiser throughout the site and staggered film start and end times to avoid crowding. Tickets available at www.myvue.com website. For more informatio­n on the safety measures being implemente­d, customers can visit www. myvue com/staysafe website
