The blockbuster exhibition, which has been experienced by over 2 million fans, made its world premiere in Chicago in April 2009, and has made stops in Boston, Toronto, Seattle, New York, Sydney, Singapore, and due to high demand is now back in New York City for an encore presentation.

In partnership with Warner Bros. Consumer Products, Global Experience Specialists (GES) created the 1,400-square-meter experiential exhibition, where visitors are able to enjoy dramatic displays inspired by the Hogwarts™ film sets and see the amazing craftsmanship behind authentic costumes, props and creatures from the films.



Experience the world of Harry Potter!



From the moment you enter Harry Potter: The Exhibition you are immediately immersed in the wizard’s world of Harry Potter. Guests are greeted by an exhibit host who sorts several lucky attendees into their favorite Hogwarts™ houses, then leads them inside the exhibition where their journey to favorite scenes from the Harry Potter films begins. The exhibition features settings from the films’ most popular locations—including the Gryffindor™ common room and dormitory; classrooms like Potions and Herbology; and the Forbidden Forest—which are filled with hundreds of authentic props, costumes, and creatures used in the filming of the iconic series.







In addition to the beautiful environments and displays, there are several interactive elements. Guests can enter the Quidditch™ area and toss a Quaffle ball, pull their own Mandrake in the Herbology classroom vignette, and even tour a re-creation of Hagrid’s hut and sit in his giant-sized armchair.
