Cinemark movie theaters across the country will begin September by offsetting a bit of bad news -- it’s been 20 years since "Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone" was published, and time creeps inexorably forward for everyone but Hermione Granger -- with a bit of good: You can revisit your childhood, before electricity bills and the realization that transfiguration isn’t a valid major, with a marathon of all nine Harry Potter universe movies.

Witches and wizards with an interest in hippogriffs, basilisks and fantastic beasts of all sizes can head online to buy a $5 ticket to any individual movie or pay $25 for a week-long "Wizarding World XD Week" pass that will get them into all nine films between Aug. 31 and Sept. 6.  

"We are proud to give fans such a remarkable movie-watching environment for one of the most notable franchises in the world," Cinemark CEO Mark Zoradi said in a news release.
