If you LOVE Harry Potter, this is one cool place to go!
Opening up in the Discovery Times Square Building in NYC is Harry Potter: The Exhibition, which has authentic props, costumes, and sets from all 8 franchise movies!!
Here’s what one of the creators has to say about it:
“When we first met with the filmmakers, we wanted to make sure everything was as authentic as possible. We decided to create an experience where you felt like you were going into Hogwarts. We also wanted to create an experience where you could get very close to a lot of the special costumes and things that maybe go by very quickly in the films but really have a lot of significant meaning.”
Um, that sounds fantastic to us!
This is what you can expect to see:
It begins as attendees enter Hogwarts and pass through the lobby of moving portraits. From there, it’s on to the Gryffindor common room, the dormitories, the classrooms and Hagrid’s Hut, before heading out to a Quidditch pitch for a chance to toss a quaffle. Things then take a darker turn, taking folks through the dragon-filled Forbidden Forest and into a confrontation with Voldemort and the Death Eaters.
At every turn, visitors will see actual props, costumes and other elements from the films ├óΓé¼ΓÇ¥ from Harry’s glasses to Godric Gryffindor’s sword to a hands-on opportunity to pull a young Mandrake from its pot.
We’re sure that fans of the books AND films will be all about this! This is a perfect way to keep everything alive and well after the final movie comes out this summer and the reboots start shooting next year!
Will U be going??
