Wands at the ready, Melbourne, something truly magical is on the way. Harry Potter: The Exhibition is set to enchant our city, bringing with it a spellbinding, interactive experience that takes fans behind-the-scenes into the heart of the wizarding world. Have you ever dreamed of getting a look at the Great Hall, exploring the mysteries of the Forbidden Forest, or brewing your own Skele-Gro in Potions class? This exhibition promises to bring the magic to life in a way you’ve never seen before. Following sold-out tours in cities like Philadelphia and Paris, this global phenomenon is finally making its way to Australia in April. One thing is certain – this will be a must-see event for all witches, wizards, and Muggles alike. And if you don’t want to miss out, you’ll want to sign up for the waitlist now to be among the first to secure tickets.
As soon as you step inside, you’ll feel the magic of the Harry Potter films, surrounded by stunning recreations of iconic locations and authentic props, including behind-the-scenes looks at beloved scenes from the films. Wander through the Great Hall gallery, smell the fire burning in Hagrid’s Hut, and test your Mandrake potting skills in the Herbology greenhouse. You’ll also get to see props and costumes from the films, from Harry’s round glasses to the Golden Snitch™ to Professor Dumbledore’s stunning robes. These iconic pieces, straight from the Warner Bros. archives, bring the stories we love to life right before our eyes.
But this isn’t just about admiring the magic – this exhibition lets you experience the magic. Every visitor is given a digital wristband upon entry. Choose your Hogwarts house and collect points as you progress through the exhibition, just like a student at the castle. Will you prove your bravery for Gryffindor™, showcase your wisdom as a Ravenclaw™, demonstrate your loyalty as a Hufflepuff™, or channel your cunning to rise to the top as a Slytherin™? The choice is yours. Fans can engage with interactive displays, try their hand at spell-casting, and even test their reflexes in a Quidditch™ challenge.
Lastly, no Harry Potter experience would be complete without a trip to the shop for some memories to take home. From Chocolate Frogs to mugs for some Butterbeer™ to house scarves to keep you warm through Melbourne’s chilly months, this is the ultimate shopping destination for any fan.
Given the overwhelming response in other cities, this is expected to be one of the most highly anticipated exhibitions of the year. So, dust off your wands, grab your robes, and get ready to celebrate the world of Harry Potter like never before.
