Paris, March 27, 2023 – In less than one month, Paris, the City of Light, will host Harry Potter™: The Exhibition – the most comprehensive touring exhibition ever presented on Harry Potter and the entire Wizarding World, opening at the Paris Expo Porte de Versailles on Friday, April 21. 

Beginning April 21, guests can walk through immersive galleries, cast their Patronus, test their Quidditch™ skills, and brew potions, as Harry Potter™: La Exposición comes to Paris for the first time. Since it premiered in Philadelphia a year ago, over one million visitors have experienced this captivating exhibition celebrating Harry Potter and the entire Wizarding World. The all-new behind-the-scenes exhibition creates memorable moments and photo opportunities as guests embark on a one-of-a-kind journey into the iconic moments, characters, settings, and beasts as seen from the films and stories of Harry Potter and Fantastic Beasts™, as well as the wonders of the expanded Wizarding World, including the costumes, props and imagery from the Tony ® award-winning Broadway production Harry Potter and the Cursed Child.

Upon check in, guests will personalize their experience by picking their favorite Hogwarts house, Patronus, and favorite character wand, and then earn points for their house throughout the adventure. As visitors explore each gallery, their unique interactions are captured using RFID wristbands to deliver experiences linked to their visitor profiles. Guests can adventure with friends to sit in Hagrid’s oversized chair, come face-to-face with a Hungarian Horntail, test their Quidditch skills, or even brew their own potions. 

Countless photo moments are also interspersed throughout the exhibition. Visitors are invited to share their photos on social for a chance to be featured on our official Harry Potter: The Exhibition Instagram page #HarryPotterExhibition. 

Outside of the exhibition, guests also can enjoy the retail store with official licensed collectibles and treats including bespoke art from MinaLima, the graphic design duo from the Harry Potter y Animales fantásticos films, bottled Butterbeer, notable snacks like Chocolate Frogs and Bertie Botts

Every-Flavour Beans, and exclusive Harry Potter: The Exhibition items only available in store and online for a limited time.

The exhibition is created and produced by Imagine Exhibitions, Inc., in partnership with Warner Bros. Discovery Global Themed Entertainment and EMC Presents.

Tom Zaller, President and CEO of Imagine Exhibitions, said: “We are delighted to bring Harry Potter: The Exhibition to Paris next month. Visitors can see real props and costumes, immerse themselves in their favorite scenes from the movies and take photos, and earn points through interactives in the galleries. It is an adventure unlike any other. You are not going to want to miss this exhibition while in Paris.”
