Exhibition Highlights
From Page to Screen Gallery toont een eerste editie van Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone ingesloten in een op Gringotts geïnspireerde kluis en omringd door inspirerende video's en literaire citaten, waardoor bezoekers opnieuw in contact komen met het verhaal terwijl ze aan de tentoonstelling worden voorgesteld.
Hogwarts Castle Gallery biedt een meeslepende multimedia-ervaring met iconische elementen zoals de Zweinsboom, Dementors en de Sluipwegwijzer, waarbij bezoekers hun naam zien verschijnen, wat hen aanzet om de verkenning van de tentoonstelling verder te vervolgen.
The Great Hall Gallery is een ruimte waar bezoekers magische seizoensmomenten kunnen vieren in de iconische architectuur.
The Hogwarts Houses de galerij legt de basis voor de tentoonstellingservaring, waardoor bezoekers de kans krijgen om meer persoonlijke momenten te beleven met de Zweinstein-afdeling die ze tijdens hun voorregistratie kiezen. Hoewel bezoekers zich vaak aangetrokken voelen tot één afdeling, kunnen ze in deze galerij alle Zweinstein-afdelingen beleven in een feestelijke zaal met een iconische Sprekende Hoed, perfect voor foto's, omringd door nieuw ontworpen afdelingswapens op zorgvuldig gemaakte glas-in-loodramen.
Hogwarts Classrooms zijn gevuld met iconische attributen, wezens en kostuums. Bezoekers gaan de interactie aan met magische lessen en spelletjes via digitale touchscreens om achter-de-schermen-geheimen over iconische klasmomenten te ontdekken. Ze brouwen toverdranken in het Toverdrankenlokaal, voorspellen de toekomst bij Waarzeggerij, potten een Mandragora in de Kruidenkunde-kas, en gebruiken hun digitale toverstok om een boeman te verslaan bij Verweer tegen de Zwarte Kunsten.
Hagrid's Hut and The Forbidden Forest biedt een interactieve Patronus-ervaring. Bezoekers ontdekken vervolgens iconische wezens, zoals centaurs en Acromantula's, verscholen in het bos en verkennen het interieur van een reconstructie van Hagrid's Hut.
Een exclusieve collectie Harry Potter: The Exhibition merchandise zal beschikbaar zijn in de winkel ter plaatse, zodat bezoekers hun fandom kunnen vieren met een assortiment thematische collecties uit de hele uitgebreide Wizarding World. Fans kunnen kiezen uit een reeks producten zoals kleding, sieraden en eetbare lekkernijen, waaronder Chocokikkers en Boterbier in flesjes, evenals merchandise die nergens anders binnen de Wizarding World te vinden is.
Fans worden aangemoedigd om Harry Potter: The Exhibition te volgen op Facebook en Instagram. #HarryPotterExhibition
Over de Harry Potter-franchise
Vanaf het moment dat de elfjarige Harry Potter Rubeus Hagrid ontmoette, hoeder van de sleutels en landerijen van Zweinstein, Hogeschool voor Hekserij en Hocus-Pocus, hebben zijn avonturen een onuitwisbare stempel gedrukt op de popcultuur. Vandaag, meer dan 25 jaar later, floreert het Harry Potter-fenomeen als een van de succesvolste en meest geliefde entertainmentmerken in de geschiedenis.
De bestsellerromans van J.K. Rowling over Harry Potter zijn tot leven gebracht in een voortdurend evoluerend, verbonden universum dat wereldwijd door miljoenen fans wordt geliefd. Acht blockbuster Harry Potter films en drie epische Fantastic Beasts films brengen de betoverende actie tot leven op het scherm, Harry Potter and the Cursed Child betovert op het toneel, en ultramoderne video- en mobiele games van Portkey Games stellen spelers in staat de magische wereld te ervaren als nooit tevoren.
