The Knight Bus

Sydney is about to sparkle with a bit of extra magic this Christmas, as HBO Max brings the wizarding world to life with the Christmas Knight Bus.

Inspired by the iconic purple, triple-decker bus from the ‘Harry Potter’ films, the Christmas Knight Bus will offer free, festive rides for witches, wizards and muggles alike. Across the magical weekend of 13-14 December, the bus will journey through iconic Sydney locations from The Rocks, through Paddington, to Bondi Beach.

Passengers can hop on or off at either end of the route.

“Created to sprinkle festive magic across Sydney, the Christmas Knight Bus invites Harry Potter fans and Christmas lovers to step into the wizarding world for a truly enchanting, free experience,” Senior Manager for Partner & Franchise Marketing ANZ Nicky Smart says.

“Sydney’s Christmas Knight Bus is ready to whisk you away faster than a spell, no wand required! Delighting superfans with nods to iconic scenes from ‘Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban’, passengers can snap spellbinding photos and enjoy the legendary score and Christmas style tunes — creating a magical escape from Sydney’s everyday Muggle transport.”

The Christmas Knight Bus will operate on a first-come, first-served basis. . . Offering Australians a new way to relive the nostalgia of ‘Harry Potter’.

The Christmas Knight Bus will travel through Sydney on 13-14 December.
