This is all part of a celebration which coincides with the release of the Blu-Ray and DVD of Fantastic Beasts : The Crimes of Grindelwald on 18 March 2019.

Standing fifteen feet tall and set within concrete bases, the nine wands ā€“ bringing to life those belonging to some of the most beloved characters in the Harry Potter and Fantastic Beasts films ā€“ illuminate each night, performing a light show to music from the Fantastic Beasts and Harry Potter films They were created in support of ā€˜Lumosā€™, whose mission is to end the institutionalisation of children around the world.
