Harry Potter: The Exhibition is a traveling exhibit in North America, displaying over two-hundred props and replicas from the Harry Potter films, including Harry Potter's wand and glasses, Ronald Weasley's wand and clothing, Mad-eye Moody's wand, Severus Snape's wand, a full size version of Buckbeak, Tom Riddle's diary and grave from Little Hangleton, and the Triwizard cup and Hagrid's chair.
Summary
The logo for Harry Potter: The Exhibition
The beginning of the Exhibition starts with a sorting of four members of the tour group, where the actual sorting hat is placed on their head and "tells" them their house. The guide then opens the doors to a small room to watch a brief movie about the Exhibition and the Harry Potter fan base. After the movie, the doors at the front of the room open into a room with multiple portraits on the wall that move and talk like the portraits in the hallways of Hogwarts. The next room you see is similar to the Gryffindor common room, with the beds of the boys and many props from Harry and Ron sitting on the beds or in cases. The boys' school robes are also in this room next to their beds on mannequins. Many other props fill the room with the beds including their Muggle clothes, the glasses, the golden egg, and their wands. The next room leads to the class rooms of Hogwarts. There is a large section of Slughorn's classroom with his robes and multiple potions ingredients behind him, along with the potions books in a case. There is also a large section of Gilderoy Lockhart's classroom from Chamber of Secrets. It has his robes and a full collection of his books sitting in a pile.
The Flying Ford Anglia
Next, there is Profesor Umbridge's office from the Order of the Phoenix with her robes, wand, and multiple Ministry Decrees. At the end of this room, the group enters the outdoor world of Harry Potter. The Quidditch robes and hoops are here and people can throw quaffles to try and score points. This is where Buckbeak and the Hungarian Horntail stay, along with a version of Hagrid's hut where you can sit in his chair. Next, you enter a dark room with a dementor, where you can see the nothingness of them and be honestly terrified. The robes of Voldemort and the Death Eaters are here along with their masks. Dobby and Kreacher are also here along with the petrified models of the students from the Chamber of Secrets. The last room in the exhibition is the Great Hall, which is incredible on first entrance. All the dress robes and gowns of the Triwizard champions are here along with the Yule Ball outfits. There is also a long table of "food" from the Great hall and a huge case of games and jokes from Weasley Wizard Wheezes and Zonkos, with candies from Honeydukes. The end of the exhibition leads you to the gift shop with an incredibly large variety of Harry Potter collectibles. No photography is allowed and there is an optional audio tour available, too.
