A ticket to Hogwarts, please!
Dear muggle , you don't need the Marauder's Map to discover the magical points of the city, we have the coordinates of the five symbolic sculptures of Harry Potter that dot the Paseo de la Castellana.
'Madrid Magic City' . This is how this Warner Bros initiative has been baptized, in collaboration with the Madrid City Council, which aims to promote the premiere of the second of the five new adventures of the magical world created by J.K. Rowling, Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald , which will fill movie theaters next Nov. 16.
You can find it in the Museum of Natural Sciences
There was no better location than the Santiago Bernabeu Stadium for the Nimbus 2000 to land, the broom with which Harry Potter plays Quidditch , the official sport of that fantasy world. The leather suitcase that contains a reserve of miniature animals can be found in front of the Museum of Natural Sciences.
The Monster Book of Monsters stands at the gates of the National Library, platform nine and three quarters for head to Hogwarts awaits us in Atocha station and the classes of Herbology can now be taught in front of the Royal Botanical Garden.
Each of the magical scenes is related to the place in the capital where they are located. On the back of the figures, a fragment of one of the novels of J.K. Rowling and a brief explanation about the place of tourist interest in which they are located clarify us the link between reality and fantasy.
“Associating Madrid with fantasy, imagination, culture or cinema is very important” , commented this morning Luis Cueto , general coordinator of the Mayor's Office, during the presentation of the project.
Also, everyone who takes photos with the sculptures and uploads them to Twitter or Instagram with the hashtags #MADRIDMAGICCITY and mentioning @warnerbrosspain , they can win a set with gifts including figures of the characters from the film, a magic wand (collector's edition), a keychain and a case.
