Harry Potter: The Exhibition
“Harry Potter: The Exhibition” offers fans a firsthand look inside the wizard’s magical world and the opportunity to experience the amazing craftsmanship of more than 200 authentic costumes and props from all six of the Harry Potter films. As guests journey through the 10,000-square-foot exhibit space, they are transported to the world of Harry Potter through several themed vignettes based on the film sets, including the Gryffindor common room, Hagrid’s hut, the Forbidden Forest, a Dark Forces area, and the Great Hall. The exhibit is currently traveling the country with the next stop at the Museum of Science, Boston, beginning October 25. “Harry Potter has captivated the imagination of children and adults around the globe. Through the art and technological wizardry of movie-making, the Harry Potter films have brought to life an enchanting and complex world,” said Ioannis Miaoulis, President and Director of the Museum of Science, Boston. He added, “We’re confident that this exhibition will attract visitors of all ages — some of whom may never have visited a science center. This exhibit will spark their curiosity and imagination, leading them to experience the excitement of discovery.”
