Get set for Hogwarts

THIS DSS (Dubai Summer Surprises), Ibn Battuta Mall is hosting the Dubai Premiere of the highly anticipated fifth film in Warner Bros. Pictures' film series based on the novels of J.K. Rowling, Harry Potter and the Order of Phoenix.

It's time to put on a wizard hat and grab a wand, because the magical world is opening its doors for lucky winners to enter and experience first-hand how the magic of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry is brought to life.

Visitors who purchase movie tickets to see the upcoming fantasy adventure at Grand Megaplex, Ibn Battuta Mall from July 19 can enter a prize draw to win a trip for two to the Hogwarts set at Leavesden Studios near London, where the Harry Potter films are made.

The prize visit to the Hogwarts set will include a special lesson, where the winner can learn how special magical effects featured in the movie come to life. Along the way, the lucky winner will also meet some of the celebrity animals that make Hogwarts so special. And if that's not enough, the winner will even encounter some of the magical creatures that inhabit the school.

This grand prize offered by Warner Bros. Pictures and Ibn Battuta Mall as part of their DSS 2007 programme includes a trip for two to London with bed and breakfast, all transfers and a day on set at Hogwarts.

Children can also win one of forty Imax Premiere tickets to be the first in Dubai to see Harry Potter and the Order of Phoenix by dressing up as their favourite character from the film series and gather in Ibn Battuta Mall's China Court on July 12 from 4pm-7pm and join in magical and fun activities.

Moviegoers who see the film after its release on July 19 at Grand Megaplex at Ibn Battuta can enter the raffle by dropping their cinema ticket stub into the raffle boxes located at the customer service desk of each entrance to the mall to win the amazing prize to the Hogwarts set.
