I personally can’t wait to bring my kids and grandkids to see all the original props and costumes and experience the interactive features in the exhibition.”

“We are delighted to welcome a family-friendly exhibition to Atlanta that contributes to our diverse portfolio of offerings,” said William Pate, president and CEO, Atlanta Convention & Visitors Bureau. “We look forward to Harry Potter: The Exhibition captivating visitors through a comprehensive immersive experience.”
