Harry Potter Day at GAMM: on August 29, magic meets gaming

To celebrate the 25th anniversary of the release of the first Harry Potter film in cinemas, GAMM, the Video Game Museum of Rome, will transform into a place where magic comes to life.

For one entire day, visitors will be able to immerse themselves in the Harry Potter universe through an interactive experience that combines the world of video games with some of the most beloved activities among fans of the saga.

Become a Hogwarts student

As soon as they enter the museum, each participant will be sorted into one of the four Hogwarts Houses: Gryffindor, Slytherin, Ravenclaw, or Hufflepuff.

Every visitor will receive a sticker representing their House and, throughout the day, will be able to help it win by taking part in the activities organized by the museum. Each completed challenge will allow participants to earn points, which will be added to their team’s final score.

Quidditch Champions Tournament

The highlight of the event will be the Harry Potter: Quidditch Champions tournament, taking place on the museum’s large LED wall.

Participants will compete in spectacular matches to earn valuable points and prove who is the best Seeker, Beater, or Keeper of the day.

Dedicated gaming stations

Throughout the event, several gaming stations dedicated to Harry Potter video games will be available, featuring both the latest experiences and the classic titles that have accompanied generations of players.

A perfect opportunity to relive the story of the famous young wizard through the language of video games.

Quizzes and challenges for true wizards

How much do you really know about the world of Harry Potter?

Throughout the day, quizzes dedicated to the saga will be organized, with questions ranging from the books and films to the video games, putting even the most knowledgeable fans to the test.

The Hunt for the Seven Horcruxes

Magic will take over the museum spaces as well.

Seven mysterious objects inspired by the Horcruxes will be hidden throughout the GAMM exhibition areas. Visitors will have to explore the museum to find them and earn valuable points for their House.

A fully themed atmosphere

All activities will be accompanied by a playlist featuring music from Harry Potter video games, creating an even more immersive experience.

A fantastic final prize

All paying visitors on the day of the event will automatically take part in a special prize draw dedicated to the Harry Potter universe. The winner will be announced at the end of the event.
