Harry Potter: we were at the Back to Hogwarts event in Milan and we have seen some beautiful ones

If you are fond of Tiktok you probably know that one of the major conflicts between millennials and Gen Z has as an object Harry Potter. In practice, several users of Gen Z reply at the millennial not only to use the ghosts instead of the sponge socks under the sneankers but also a certain obsession with the films and books of Harry Potter to whom they, fortunately, have escaped. I thought about it this morning, 1 September 2025, when, as soon as the threshold of the foyer of the National Theater of Milan for the famous Back to hogwartsthe event that the whole world celebrates the phenomenon of Harry Potter in the presence of fans, I found myself in front of a humanity teeming with shades. Together with many thirty -year -olds I discovered many children and teenagers armed with rods and smartphones among the crowdall there to make me understand that no, Harry Potter is not an exclusive of the millennials as the videos on Tiktok say but a global phenomenon That, almost thirty years after the release of the first book of the saga (it was 1997), he still manages to excite millions of people who live in memory of what films and novels have awakened in them, taking refuge in the spells, magical creatures and more iconic quotes of the characters – “Go to page 394” tells you something? – To say that certain things will remain forever over time.

Together with those that young people call “Photo opportunity”that is, all those situations that push people to create human serpentons to immortalize or on a flying broom, or close to the statue of Harry Potter with the features of Daniel Radcliffe or on a stool waiting for a boy to put the talking hat on your head to find out which house you belong to, The enthusiasm is very similar to what you breathe just before a concertwhen you know that in a few hours you will be a few meters from your idol, breathing its own air. Children, some dressed up as students of Hogwarts and others in the Babbana version, are thrilled so that the event starts as soon as possible while I, as soon as I take place inside the theater, cannot help but attack the button with the people who sit near me: A fairly young mom and dad with a very young girl in her arms that I will discover 6 months. “Her name is Gaia,” the mother tells me as she caresses the scarf of the colors of Gryffindor who surrounds her neck: she and her husband come from Bergamo, it is their first time a Back to hogwarts But it is beautiful that they decided not to give up bringing her daughter with her so that she can also become a fierce fan like them very soon. Among people who Mangure Harry Potter themed chocolate bars proposed for the occasion by Witor’s And others who have let themselves be tempted by a new geox model with Edvige drawn above, the lights begin to flash shortly after ten, allowing the presenter of the event Arianna Craviottovoice actress and influencer specialized in cartoons animated by millions of followers, to climb on stage and guide the story of the morning.

A story that, between several videos with the most exciting excerpts of the saga films and a (metaphorical) start of the Hogwarts Express from track 9 and ¾ to 11 split – smoke bombs, rotating lights and different inclined extras nalle tunic of Hogwarts and with the suitcases and trolleys in hand, will give two important moments: The entrance of Francesco Pannofinowho lent Hagrid to all eight Harry Potter films reading all the books written by JK Rowling for Audible, e The surprise guest of the English actress Natalia Tenawhich starting from the fifth film of the saga lent its face to Ninfadora TonksProfessor Lupine’s wife. Together with the enthusiasm of Pannofino, who made no secret of having no idea at the beginning of what Harry Potter would have represented for the public, tenzas joke about the prostheses for the butt that the troupe gave her the first day of filming – served to sit on the broom without falling – and on how much, from that moment on, her life has changed. In the middle, after a multiple response quiz that divided those present into the four houses and which has shown how ignorant I am – Did you know, for example, that the Ollivanders shop was founded in 382 BC? And that the Hogwarts stairs ramps are 142? -, the most moving moment was certainly when Four musicians from the Italian cinema orchestra They played the most memorable pieces of the soundtrack of the films while the images of the different chapters flowed on the screen behind them.

In this case, the chills were not long in coming, just as the pouring applause of the public did not wait when a video distributed by Warner Bros.

All magical and all beautiful if it were not for the ghost of the Woman-that-not-deve-being-nominatedthe one who created all this and who for some time has been defended by the same car that contributed to shaping continuing, however, to collect all the casealties of the case.
