The celebrations will kick off this spring. From March to May, theme celebrations will be held in many cities around the world, and a series of new official peripheral products will also be launched. The well-known toy brand Lego has also confirmed that it will join the celebration and launch a special set, but no specific details have been announced yet.
As the climax of the anniversary celebrations, the restored version of "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone" will be re-released in theaters in some countries for a limited time from August 27 to September 3. What’s special about this re-screening is that the film will include an additional 10 minutes of behind-the-scenes footage that has never been released before, giving fans a new experience.
The eight films in the "Harry Potter" series have grossed more than US$7.5 billion at the global box office. Currently, HBO is filming a new version of the series based on J.K. Rowling's original novel, which is expected to be broadcast next year.
