Barcelona, SPAIN (October 18, 2023) – The wait is almost over! Only one month to go until Harry Potter™: The Exhibition – the all-new, behind-the-scenes, interactive, and most comprehensive touring exhibition ever presented on Harry Potter and the entire Wizarding World – comes to Barcelona’s Port Vell on November 17, 2023. Tickets for the experience are on sale now at https://barccelona.harrypotterexhibition.com.

Harry Potter: The Exhibition celebrates the films and stories of Harry Potter, Fantastic Beasts, and the expanded Wizarding World, including Harry Potter and the Cursed Child, through beautifully crafted environments that honor the iconic moments, characters, settings, and beasts, created by J.K. Rowling and as seen in the films and stories.

Beginning November 17, visitors can expect to celebrate the Wizarding World in a personal way, with an up-close look at authentic props and original costumes from the Harry Potter and Fantastic Beasts films, and a personalized journey through the awe-inspiring magical environments using immersive design and technology never-before experienced in a touring exhibition. In addition, as visitors explore each gallery, their interactions are captured using RFID wristbands to deliver unique experiences linked to their visitor profile.

Since it premiered in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania over a year ago, more than 1.7 million visitors have experienced this captivating exhibition. The exhibition is created and produced by Imagine Exhibitions, in partnership with Warner Bros. Discovery Global Themed Entertainment and EMC Presents.

Exhibition Gallery Highlights include:

From Page to Screen Gallery showcases a first edition of Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone encased in a Gringotts inspired vault and is surrounded by inspirational video and literary quotes, reconnecting guests to the story as they are introduced to the exhibition. 

Hogwarts Castle Gallery features an immersive multimedia experience with iconic elements like the Whomping Willow, Dementors, and the Marauder’s Map, where guests will see their name appear, prompting them to continue their exploration of the exhibition. 

The Great Hall Gallery is a space that allows visitors to celebrate magical seasonal moments in its iconic architecture. 

The Hogwarts Houses gallery sets the foundation for the exhibition experience, allowing guests the opportunity to experience more personalized moments with the Hogwarts house they select during their pre-registration. While guests may gravitate towards one house, this gallery will enable visitors to experience all of the Hogwarts houses in a celebratory hall featuring an iconic Sorting Hat, perfect for photo ops, while surrounded by freshly designed house crests on meticulously created stained glass windows. 

Hogwarts Classrooms are filled with iconic props, creatures, and costumes. Visitors will interact with magical lessons and games through digital touchscreens to reveal behind-the-scenes secrets about iconic classroom moments. They will brew potions in the Potions Classroom, predict the future in Divination, pot a mandrake in the Herbology Greenhouse, and use their digital wand to defeat a boggart in Defense Against the Dark Arts. 

Hagrid’s Hut and The Forbidden Forest offer an interactive Patronus charm experience. Guests will then uncover iconic creatures, such as centaurs and Acromantula, hidden in the forest and explore inside a recreation of Hagrid’s Hut. 

An exclusive collection of Harry Potter: The Exhibition merchandise will be available in the onsite retail shop for guests to celebrate their fandom through an assortment of themed collections that span the expanded Wizarding World. Fans can choose from a range of products such as apparel, jewelry, and edible treats, including Chocolate Frogs and bottled Butterbeer, as well as merchandise not available at any other Wizarding World experience. 

Fans are encouraged to follow Harry Potter: The Exhibition on Facebook, Instagram, and X. #HarryPotterExhibition
