  "summary": "Harry Potter marks its 25th anniversary with a pop-up event at Pavilion Damansara Heights in Kuala Lumpur, running from August 20 to September 20. The month-long celebration recreates some of the magic from the film series and the wizarding world, featuring photo opportunities, interactive activities, workshops, and officially licensed merchandise. The anniversary commemorates the 25th year since the release of the first Harry Potter film in 2001, introducing audiences to beloved characters such as Harry Potter, Ron Weasley, and Hermione Granger. The pop-up also pays tribute to Malaysia's role in the phenomenon, with all eight Harry Potter films receiving theatrical releases in the country over a decade.",
