Global Kids, Young Adults and Classics. "All Potter fans can gear up for this ultimate one-of-a-kind celebration by embracing their inner Hermione Granger and studying their Wizarding World knowledge. For fans who have always wanted to discover what it might be like to take the O.W.L. exams, this is as close as they are going to get!"

A play-along component will allow viewers to don their own Hogwarts robes and swish and flick their wands from home.
