USJ’s new experience to touch “magical creatures” from Harry Potter. Kamaitachi Yamauchi and Hamaya at the opening ceremony: “Their fur and gestures are too cute!

Posted on 2023-03-29 by Editor in Chief

Universal Studios Japan will launch a new magical experience in the popular “Wizarding World of Harry Potter” area, the limited-time “Magical Creatures Encounter: Encounter with Magical Creatures,” today, January 17.

Adorable “magical creatures” such as Hippogriffs, Nifflers, and Pygmy Puffs, familiar from the Harry Potter books and movies, will appear with the postman and merchants of Hogsmeade Village and engage in mysterious communication with guests. The world’s only interactive show. This is the world’s only interactive show of its kind.

At the opening ceremony held the day before, special guests Kenji Yamauchi and Ryuichi Hamaya of the comedy duo Kamaitachi appeared. The two called out, “This world will never stay still,” and “Magical creatures are born! The opening of the evolved Haripota area was announced with the two shouting, “This world will not stand still!

We begin with three small magical creatures that appear throughout the village. Blending in with the mail in the cart is the “Niffler,” which loves shiny, glittering treasures. The fluffy pink “Pygmy Puff” looks sleepy on the shoulder of the Pygmy Puff Keeper. And the newly hatched “Baby Dragon” appears accompanied by a slightly dubious creature trader.

What is noteworthy is their “ultra-real” lifelike appearance, with their emotional gestures and freewheeling behavior that are very adorable. Yamauchi, who at first was afraid to approach the pygmy puff, gently stroked its head and said, “This fur is amazing. When you touch it, it reacts, it’s so cute. When I say, ‘Wake up! its eyes open wide and it wakes up so quickly! I was impressed.

Hamaya was then encouraged to pet Niffler and said, “His behavior is so cute! The purr is amazing, too. It makes me want to bring my family and kids here.

Yamauchi next tries to touch the baby dragon, but is intimidated by the smoke. Smoke! Is this okay? I’m glad it didn’t catch fire.” His startled reaction drew laughter from the audience, and he enjoyed this unprecedented experience.

The audience cheered loudly when the giant half-bird, half-horse “Hippogriff” appeared on stage. Hippogriffs are magical creatures that Harry encountered in the Hogwarts Forest, characterized by their eagle-like heads, horse-like bodies, sharp claws, and scaly wings.

In order not to offend the proud Hippogriff, who values respect, Hamaya learned special etiquette from a professor at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, and bowed slowly and deeply in unison with the students of the four houses of Gryffindor, Slytherin, Hufflepuff, and Ravenclaw.

The hippogriff, then, gracefully spreading its wings as if it had forgiven the hippogriff, and the two succeeded in touching the beak.

When asked what he thought of it, he replied, “If you look at it up close, the beak is amazing. You can tell when you touch it, but it is full of life. It’s a dream come true to meet them like this. It’s very moving,” said Hamaya, expressing his excitement at the first meeting.

The two members of Kamaitachi say they have been big fans of USJ for a long time. As a message to guests, they said, “It’s a dream come true to be able to experience the same things that Harry Potter did! (Yamauchi) and “It’s amazing that even just an exciting area continues to evolve. It’s a magical world that you can only experience here in the world, so please come not once, but twice or thrice. Please come not once, but twice or thrice. It’s really fun.
