Ifah SakinahHey Potterheads, we know it has been eons since the final novel of the Harry Potter series hit the shelves and the last instalment of the whizz kid’s adventure appeared in a film. You’ve probably read the books and rewatched the movie umpteen times, and you still can’t seem to get enough. Who can blame you though? The fantasy franchise may have drawn to a close but the magic still lives on.
Like us, you may be patiently awaiting your acceptance letter to Hogwarts (or, have slowly resigned to fate). Whatever it is, get ready to be spellbound by an all-new Harry Potter exhibition that is set to tour the world in 2022!

A magical experience awaits you
Harry Potter: The Exhibition promises to bring the wizarding realm of J.K. Rowling to life. Through an immersive, behind-the-scenes experience, fans can acquaint themselves with all things Harry Potter and its spin-off; the Fantastic Beasts series. Think the likes of original props, costumes, renditions of standout moments and a whole lot of magical moments for muggles to encounter. Plus, you can delve into the innovativeness of filmmaking that brought the scripts to screens.
The exhibition, with an estimated footprint between 10,000 and 20,000 square feet, is sure to leave enthusiasts of the Wizarding World enchanted. That’s because it’ll comprehensively cover all features of the shared fictional universe based upon the Harry Potter series. This includes the:
- Seven Harry Potter novels
- Eight Harry Potter films
- Harry Potter and the Cursed Child, a two-play written by Jack Thorne
- The first two parts of the Fantastic Beasts films
We can’t wait to get up close and personal with iconic spots such as Hogwarts, Ministry of Magic, Gringotts Wizarding Bank, and Azkaban to name a few.
