Harry Potter Visions of Magic interactive experience opens in Brussels on 26 July

Multimedia spectacle Harry Potter: Visions of Magic arrives in Brussels venue Tour & Taxis for a limited period from 26 July.

Tickets go on sale on 10 June at 14.00. Fans of the fantasy series can register on the website for the presale, which begins on 10 June at 10.00.

Brussels is the second location for the show, which takes visitors on a journey into the magical world of Harry Potter, following sell-out dates in Cologne, Germany.

The show is an interactive art experience that will explors the mysterious corners of the wizarding world in the 3,000m2 venue. It recreates a series of artistic and immersive environments inspired by enigmatic places in the magical community, like the Room of Requirement, Newt’s Menagerie, the Ministry of Magic, and more.

Responsive video content, bold architecture, and original soundscapes create breathtaking multi-sensory installations, say Warner Bros. Discovery Global Themed Entertainment and NEON, which is staging the show with local partners Exhibition Hub and Explorado Group.

They promise interactive technology that “invites guests to illuminate the invisible, revealing visions of magic that bring the entire experience to life”.

NEON CEO Ron Tan said they were confident about replicating the show in Belgium. “The resounding success of the premiere of Harry Potter: Visions of Magic in Cologne, winning multiple accolades with record-breaking sellout shows is testament to the strong demand for this unique experience like no other.”

Admission prices start at €20.50 for children four to 13; €26.50 for ages 14 and up. The interactive experience is recommended for individuals aged 12 and above. 
 
Family and group tickets, as well as disco
