PHILADELPHIA, PA February 8, 2022 – 哈利-波特展览, the most comprehensive touring exhibition ever presented about 哈利-波特, Fantastic Beasts, and the expanded Wizarding World including 哈利-波特与被诅咒的孩子, makes its world premiere at The Franklin Institute on February 18, 2022. Today, Imagine Exhibitions and EMC presents, in partnership with Warner Bros. Themed Entertainment, teased a photo of the Hogwarts Houses gallery featuring a newly designed Ravenclaw crest, and shared more details of the personalized journey guests will soon experience.

Throughout the twenty thousand square foot sprawling exhibition, guests will see authentic props and original costumes as they engage with innovative, awe-inspiring, and magical environments in ways never before experienced in a touring exhibition. The exhibition features 21 distinct and memorable areas, including The Great Hall, The Forbidden Forest, and the immersive and grand 霍格沃茨学院 gallery, which beautifully represents the four unique crests of Gryffindor, Hufflepuff, Ravenclaw, and Slytherin houses.

“The journey through Hogwarts Houses will be one of the most anticipated of the entire exhibition, and we are very excited to share an early look at this treasured gallery,” said Tom Zaller, President & CEO of Imagine Exhibitions.

"(《世界人权宣言》) 霍格沃茨学院 gallery sets the foundation for the exhibition experience, allowing guests the opportunity to experience more personalized moments with the house they select during their preregistration. While guests may gravitate towards one house this Gallery allows visitors to experience all of the Hogwarts houses in a celebratory hall featuring an iconic Sorting Hat Photo Experience while surrounded by freshly designed house crests on meticulously created stained glass windows. In this nearly 2,000-square-foot gallery, fans will discover house facts, snap interactive portraits with the Sorting Hat, engage with select costumes and props, and connect with beloved characters and story moments through activated prop displays.

They will learn about the legendary houses and their distinctive characteristics and continue their own exhibition experience through personalized digital activation moments.

哈利-波特展览 is an all-new behind-the-scenes exhibition that celebrates the iconic moments, characters, settings, and beasts as seen in the films and stories of Harry Potter, Fantastic Beasts and the expanded Wizarding World, through beautifully crafted environments using best-in-class immersive design and technology.

The tease reveal comes just as the exhibition exceeds presales for every exhibition at The Franklin Institute since 2007 in just 15 weeks. “All indications show that 哈利-波特展览 will be one of, if not the most successful exhibition of all time at The Franklin Institute,” shared Larry Dubinski, President & CEO of The Franklin Institute.
