Espacio Ibercaja Delicias – Madrid
Visitors line up for the opening day at Harry Potter: The Exhibition at Espacio Ibercaja Delicias in Madrid.
Madrid, Spain (October 4, 2024). Madrid is a little more magical this week as Harry Potter: The Exhibition—the behind-the-scenes, interactive, and most comprehensive touring exhibition ever presented on Harry Potter’s universe—welcomes its first visitors at Espacio Ibercaja Delicias.
Espacio Ibercaja Delicias is a new space, centrally located and easily accessible by bus, suburban train and metro (Delicias, line 3). A place accessible to all that makes it the perfect place to explore this enchanting exhibition.
The exhibition, which will be in town until January 6, delights visitors through an exciting behind-the-scenes journey to explore iconic moments, characters, sets and creatures from the Harry Potter and Fantastic Beasts films, as well as the Tony® Award-winning Broadway production of Harry Potter and the Cursed Child. The exhibition is open every day of the week to visitors of all ages and tickets are available at harrypotterexhibition.com, doctormusic.com and tickets.com.
Harry Potter: The Exhibition takes visitors of all ages on a one-of-a-kind journey through the extended world of Harry Potter, celebrating some of the most iconic moments from the beloved Harry Potter and Fantastic Beasts films. Upon entry, everyone is given an exhibition wristband for a personalized experience. From selecting a Hogwarts house (either Gryffindor, Hufflepuff, Ravenclaw, or Slytherin) to picking your wand and Patronus, visitors will be able to create their own, uniquely magical moments while earning points for their house with each interactive activity.
Throughout the exhibition, visitors will experience everything from the hall of moving portraits to the famed scene of the Great Hall with floating candles to exploring Hogwarts classrooms, filled with authentic props and costumes. Hagrid’s Hut and oversized chair is perfect for photo opps, as is the “cupboard under the stairs” from Harry’s childhood. In addition, vignettes from Fantastic Beasts and costumes from the Tony® award-winning Broadway production Harry Potter and The Cursed Child are included in the exhibition, making Harry Potter: The Exhibition the most comprehensive touring exhibition ever presented about the extended world of Harry Potter, perfect for both longtime fans and those just starting to experience the magic.
Tom Zaller, CEO of Imagine Exhibitions, said, “We have something very special here in Madrid, and I am excited for the people of Spain to get the chance to experience this show. Visitors will be able to see original props and costumes from some of their favorite scenes from the films, have their photos taken and earn points through interactive games in the various rooms. I encourage everyone to buy their tickets in advance for this experience as it’s something you won’t want to miss!”
Following the world premiere in Philadelphia, USA in February 2022, Harry Potter: The Exhibition has since welcomed over 2.5 million guests in several cities around the world. Currently, it’s also showing in Macao, China, Boston, USA and São Paulo, Brazil.
Exhibition Highlights
From Page to Screen Gallery showcases a first edition of Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’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 a multimedia experience with iconic elements such as the Womping Willow, Dementors and the Marauder’s Map, where guests will see their name appear, prompting them to continue their exploration of the exhibition.
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 entry. While guests may gravitate towards one house, this gallery will enable visitors to experience all 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, repot 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 mysterious creatures, such as centaurs and Acromantula, hidden in the forest and explore inside of Hagrid’s Hut.
An exclusive collection of Harry Potter: The Exhibition merchandise will be available in the on-site store for visitors to celebrate their fandom. Fans will be able to choose from a wide range of merchandise, including apparel, jewelry and treats such as chocolate frogs and bottled butterbeer and butterbeer on tap. There will also be items that will not be available at any other Harry Potter experience.
This exhibition has been created and developed by Warner Bros. Discovery Global Experiences in partnership with Imagine Exhibitions and Eventim Live.
