Harry Potter Exhibition On Country Wide Tour
10,000 square feet of Harry Potter goodness? I will take it!
Fans will be SUPER excited to hear that 'Harry Potter: The Exhibition' will give muggles a look at props from the infamous movie.
And it's mobile! Which means we don't all have to fly out to Chicago where the tour starts.
The 10,000-sq. ft. exhibit offers fans an up-close and personal look inside the boy wizard's magical world. "Harry Potter: The Exhibition" features more than 200 authentic costumes and props from the films. Some of the items include Harry's original wand and eyeglasses, elaborate outfits from the Yule Ball, and Gryffindor school uniforms.
"The Exhibition" calls Chicago's Museum of Science and Industry home until September 27.

We're going to the exhibit in Chicago!!! I'm such a HP nerd, too! :) That photo is from The Deathly Hallows filming!!! Squeal!!! I saw the mark on Hermione's neck and knew immediately what part of the book it is! LOL
I'm so excited for you! I even checked out your profile to see if you have a blog, since I'd love to see somebody's personal pictures from the event.

I would LOVE to take pics and blog about it but you can't even take cameras into the exhibit area, according to the museum's website. :(
This is so awesome. I am a big Harry Potter fan and I would love to go to this. I'm gonna have to get a group together and go check this out. Thanks for the heads up!

Ahhhh! I'd sooooooo love to see that. I'm currently rereading all of the books, as I do every summer, prepping for the opening of HBP. I'm such a HP nerd it's not even funny. Chicago is not an option, so...where else will we be able to see this exhibition?

I do that, too! We started early this year by reading HBP & Deathly Hallows (my son & I) in June. But last week I started from the beginning - again. LOL I'm going to buy my midnight showing tickets today. (for the 14th/15th)

I'm not a big Harry Potter fan, so I wouldn't go, but it's great that they do this kind of stuff.

i'm glad i'm not the only one who re-reads everything in prep for the new movie =D. Hope this exhibit gets closer than LA. I'd go to LA to see it though. Midnight showing...CAN'T WAIT!!!

Ummmm....i would TOTALLY go to this. am i the only person who couldn't find a schedule for where this tour is going?? soooo excited just a few more weeks before HBP.
Are the stars going along or just the props? Perhaps the stars are tired of traveling to promote these pictures, so now just the props will tour?
I just thought you'd like to know that the exhibit has grown and is now 14,000 square feet.
There are no stars aside from Buckbeak, Fawkes and their friends.
You haven't been able to find a tour schedule because there isn't one. The next stop has been kept just as secret as the books were before they came out. Keep an eye on the website and you may see something soon.
Also, do not despair if you do not live in the US this thing is going world wide on a several year tour.
Enjoy!
Ooh, I'm upset. I was literally just in Chicago in July. Boo.
Ohh I know! I was so upset too miss pool table.
