Hagrid's Animated Figure
Hagrid’s animated figure was brought to life by Universal Creative. The team spent thousands of hours creating Hagrid’s animated figure with a level of detail that has never been done before, working alongside actor Robbie Coltrane - who portrays Hagrid in the Harry Potter™ film series – to develop the most advanced and realistic animated figure of its kind. Every detail about Hagrid is authentic to what has been featured in the Harry Potter™ film series – all the way down to his iconic pink umbrella.
-
The animated figure features an extensive motion profile of 24 different body movements and facial expressions, mimicking Robbie Coltrane’s exact motions as Hagrid from the Harry Potter™ film series.
-
A digital scan of Robbie Coltrane’s mouth was used to create Hagrid’s teeth.
-
Hagrid’s entire face was meticulously sculpted by hand.
-
Hagrid’s costume was designed by the same team that created his on-screen wardrobe.
-
Robbie Coltrane recorded a custom script for Hagrid in this new adventure.
-
The height of the animated figure is 7 feet 6 inches tall – exactly proportional to Hagrid in the Harry Potter™ film series.

Hogwarts™ Castle comes to life with brilliant lights and music in the spectacle The Nighttime Lights at Hogwarts™ Castle. As night falls, state-of-the-art projection mapping, coupled with special effects and lighting, will wrap Hogwarts™ castle in a dazzling display celebrating the four houses of Hogwarts™ – Gryffindor™, Ravenclaw™, Hufflepuff™ and Slytherin™ – all set to incredible music based on the original scores from the Harry Potter™ films. It’s an awesome way to end an amazing day at Universal Islands of Adventure.
The Nighttime Lights at Hogwarts™ Castle is the second projection mapping experience Universal Orlando has featured in The Wizarding World of Harry Potter™ – Hogsmeade™, and is different than The Magic of Christmas at Hogwarts™ Castle, which ran over the holiday season. “The Magic of Christmas at Hogwarts Castle” used incredible projection-mapping and special effects to bring Christmas moments inspired by the Harry Potter™ series to life. The Nighttime Lights at Hogwarts™ Castle uses incredible projection mapping and special effects to celebrate the four houses of Hogwarts™ castle.
The Nighttime Lights at Hogwarts™ Castle is the same incredible experience that was featured at Universal Studios Hollywood.
Showtimes
The Nighttime Lights at Hogwarts™ Castle will run select nights throughout the year and continuously in the evening starting at dusk.
Guests can check the Official Universal Orlando Mobile App or ask a Team Member at the park for start times as these are subject to change.
There’s no need to rush to The Wizarding World of Harry Potter – Hogsmeade™ to see the first showing, as The Nighttime Lights at Hogwarts™ Castle runs many times throughout the evening until park close, and later showings have better viewing availability.
Operational Details
Anywhere guests can get a good view of Hogwarts™ castle, they will be able to experience The Nighttime Lights at Hogwarts™ Castle. Our team has also designated some viewing areas, within Hogsmeade™, to help our guests navigate through the land. Guests should see a member of our team who can direct them to these locations. There are no special viewing areas at this time.
