Dark Arts at Hogwarts Castle is described by Universal as follows:
Witness the Darker Side of Magic.
As darkness falls on Hogwarts™ castle, Dementors™, Death Eaters™ and other unspeakable creatures cloak the stone walls in sinister images and fiendish magic. Chaos erupts as the image of Lord Voldemort™ joins the fray, summoning his cruel legions to swarm the castle. Stare in awe at the castle’s takeover during this ominous spectacle of light and music.
The spectacular show is accompanied by an atmospheric musical score created by John Williams, who composed the music for Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone (2001), Harry Potter And The Chamber Of Secrets (2002), and Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban (2004).
