Two-Day Harry Potter Marathon

Overview

The Hayden Orpheum is about to become the most magical place in Sydney, as all eight movies in the Harry Potter franchise light up the screen over two spectacular days.

Split into two parts — so you won't need a time turner to stay awake — the marathon kicks off at 11am on Saturday, November 3 with Harry's first four years at Hogwarts. It'll pick back up again at the same time the next day, when the battle against You Know Who begins in earnest.

Coincidentally or not, this marathon falls on the same weekend as the Chauvel's Harry Potter marathon. That one runs for 20 consecutive hours, so the Orpheum's version might be a better bet if you're keen to spread it out over a weekend.

This should help quell your Potter anxiety until the Fantastic Beasts sequel comes out on November 15, this should help you get your big screen spellbinding fix. Best part is that tickets are $25 per day — that will leave you with enough money for popcorn and chocolate frogs.
