All eight movies in the 'Harry Potter' universe are to get a rerelease in mainland Chinese cinemas.

Hogwarts fans in mainland China will be treated to a wide re-release of all eight “ Harry Potter ” films starting in mid-October. “There is a whole generation of Chinese audiences, however, which have not had the chance to enjoy the ‘Harry Potter’ movies in theaters,” said Kurt Rieder, head of theatrical distribution, APAC, at Warner Bros.
