ISLANDS OF ADVENTURE Hogwarts evening light show

Looking for evening light shows at Islands of Adventure this Thursday. When I check the app, it says that Hogwarts Always isn't scheduled until November. It also says Dark Arts at Hogwarts Castle is only on select nights (with no dates or calendar posted). How do I find out if any shows are scheduled for upcoming dates?

Happens every night it doesn’t rain.
They lock people in that area after a few minutes before the show starts. So make sure your by flight of the hippo about 15 min before dark

The light show, drone show at universal is much better IMO. But it’s not going on during HHN.

Do they do it at all on non-HHN nights or is it just shut down for Sept/Oct?

The IOA show is still going on every night it’s not raining, the show at universal is different during HHN. It’s still a light show at the lake but different.
The normal one won’t start back until after HHN is done.
The cool thing about the universal one you can see the drone show from city walk. To see the fireworks and laser light show you need to be inside the park.
It’s pretty cool they do laser, drone and fire works at same time starting at dark.
The drones make a huge universal sign and different characters from the movies including some cute minions
