Grab your wands and robes, witches and wizards, because the entire Harry Potter film series and the first movie in the Fantastic Beasts series are returning to theaters later this month.

Participating Cinemark movie theaters — including two in the South Sound — will show all eight Harry Potter films and Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them several times over the course of a week beginning at the end of August.

Cinemark is recapturing the magic a few months ahead of the release of the next film in the Fantastic Beasts series, Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald, which arrives in theaters Nov. 16.

The promotion, which was dubbed “Wizarding World XD Week,” runs from Aug. 31 to Sept. 6. The Century Point Ruston and XD theater in Tacoma and Century Federal Way and XD theater are both participating.

Festival passes — which get moviegoers into all nine films — can be purchased online for $25. Passes can be picked up and seats reserved beginning Aug. 25. The festival pass also includes a collectible keychain, badge and cup, which is refillable for $3.50 until Nov. 30.

Ticket for individual film sessions can be purchased for $5.
