Hallows, horcruxes, and wands oh my! If you are awaiting the final movie of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows one way to satisfy your anticipation is to check out the Harry Potter Exhibit.
The Harry Potter Exhibit, located in Discovery Times Square 226 West 44th Street (between 7th and 8th Ave), is a place full of magic and wonder. It has everything a Harry Potter nerd would want to check out from all the props used in the movies to the outfits the characters wore.
This is a wonderful place to bring children, and a place to meet other fans that will enjoy every minute of the walkthrough.
After you spend time meeting your fellow fans in line, you’ll enter one room where you are sorted by the Sorting Hat, which places you into one of the four houses; Gryffindor, Hufflepuff, Ravenclaw, and Slythern. After the sorting, you enter a large room with all seven posters of the Harry Potter movies throughout the years and watch clips from them until the shiny scarlet steam train, the Hogwarts Express, appears!
After you get over the shock of seeing the Hogwarts Express, you walk through the doors and find everything you’ve ever wanted to see from the movies. The walls have the talking paintings; you can see the robes that all the students wore, the beds they’ve slept in, the professor’s robes, and so much more.
The walk through is laid out starting with year one and ending with year seven and has all the robes of the villains and their wands. It shows all the horcruxes, and you can even visit the Great Hall or play a game of Quidditch.
On the tour you also see the creatures that were created and used in the movies. Seeing them up close and in the detail they were made with makes you realize just how hard the creators of this franchise worked to get everything perfect.
The last part of the tour is the nifty gift shop, where you can buy anything you can think of, from your own wand to a time turner, or even your own wizard chess set.
From wands to robes and Quidditch to creatures this exhibit will quench your thirst while waiting for the final Harry Potter movie.
