Wizards from July 7 to 22

But the end of the year is also marked, at the Rocher Portail, by the opening of the ticket office ofa new season of the New Sorcerer’s Stone.

“Following strong demand, the very, very positive experience of our first sorcerer’s apprentices in 2022 (13,000 in two weeks) and the incredible media coverage of this event, we have decided to put the sale of new tickets” announces the castle. The arrival of Christmas also played a big role…

A first summer session is therefore scheduled, from July 7 to 22. In all, three sessions are expected to take place in 2023.

Are announced “new teachers and new students”, as well as new adventures, inspired by the history of the Château du Rocher Portail and its founder, Gilles Ruellan.

Also inspired by the world of the harry potter saga, which makes Warner, holder of the rights of the saga of J.-K. Rowling.

Tight discussions are started between the company and Manuel Roussel, the owner of the castle, via their respective lawyers.

“There is no conflict”

“There is no conflict” nuance Manuel Rousselrecalling that the Rocher Portail has registered its own brands.

For example the crests of the four houses of the school of wizards, from the history of four families who lived in the castle.

“The coat of arms of the Fauvedor family, for example, is the lion from Gilles Ruellan’s coat of arms. The lion is also very present in coats of arms…”

Line of defense to the owner of the castle, classified as a historical monument: his school of wizards is above all inspired by the history of the site and the cultural heritage of Brittany, rich in legends, myths, witchcraft.

Fans can book their invites for The New Sorcerer’s Stone Season 2 via Portal Rock website.
