'Harry Potter' Adventures to Get All-Nighter at BFI IMAX

Warner Bros. and BFI IMAX team to unspool movies across
two nights.

LONDON – Harry Potter fans will be wide-eyed in wonderment as the BFI IMAX theater and Warner Bros. Pictures team up for plans to unspool all seven adventures to date across two nights for audiences here.

The BFI IMAX complex in central London will play host to all seven pictures over two nights on two weekends with the same program repeated over the second weekend.

The program kicks off Friday June 17 with Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone (2001), Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets (2002), Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban (2004) and Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire (2005).

Then on Saturday, June 18 it resumes with Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix (2007), Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince (2009) and Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows – Part 1 (2010).

Fans will get the chance to do it all again on June 24, 25.

BFI IMAX said it plans to serve free tea and coffee during the 30-minute intervals between each film “to help everyone stay awake all night long.”

And fans are invited to dress up in their most imaginative wizarding outfits, as each night prizes will be awarded for the best costumes.

BFI IMAX head of operations Justin Johnson noted that should theatergoers plump for all seven installments, they’d spend “almost 20 hours in the company of all their favorite characters! “

Tickets are priced up to £29.50 ($48) (adults) but brave bookers for both screenings are being offered a joint ticket, saving £10 ($16) on the full price adult ticket.

The move comes ahead of the world rollout of the eighth and final installment, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows – Part 2, from July 15.

Moviefone Visits the Set of 'Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part I'

Moviefone visited the set of 'Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part I' and spoke to actors Daniel Radcliffe (Harry Potter), Rupert Grint (Ron Weasley) and Mark Williams (Arthur Weasley), and directer David Yates.

'Deathly Hallows: Part I' is the first in the two-part adaptation of the final Harry Potter book. The second part arrives July 2011.

The young actors talked about their feelings on the penultimate film of the series and on saying goodbye to the Potter franchise. Radcliffe also touched on how Harry has changed as a character throughout the series as he -- as both an actor and a character -- has grown up.

"The whole series for me is about loss of innocence and about Harry going from this kind of wide-eyed child ... into this slightly grizzled young man by the end of it," Radcliffe told Moviefone's Mike Hess. "Although as I was saying to people the other day, it is essential that he does not turn into a man necessarily in the film, because what makes all that fight stuff at the end so powerful and so kind of horrible to watch is the fact that you're seeing a kid get beaten up by a very strong, very angry man."

'Deathly Hallows' marks the end of Harry's lifelong battle with the evil Lord Voldemort.

Check back here on Tuesday, Oct. 5, for the full set visit report and for interviews with Radcliffe, Grint, Williams and Yates.

'Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part I' premieres Nov. 19.
