'Harry Potter: the Exhibition', how the Milan exhibition will work

After its opening in Philadelphia and a journey that took it from Melbourne to Cracow, Harry Potter: the Exhibition, the interactive travelling exhibition dedicated to the protagonist of J.K. Rowling's novels and the films that made him known worldwide, arrives in Milan from 19 September.

"It is a pleasure for Milan to be part of this international geography of cities welcoming this exhibition," commented City Councillor for Culture Tommaso Sacchi at the presentation of the exhibition created and produced by Warner Bros. Discovery Global Experiences in collaboration with Imagine Exhibitions, Inc. and D'Alessandro & Galli for Eventim Live.

Through rooms that reconstruct the environments of Harry's enchanted world (48 pulls of material that takes three weeks to assemble in the three thousand metres of The Mall in Portanuova), personalised experiences will be possible. From Book to Screen shows together a first edition of Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone, the first volume in the series, inside a Gringott-inspired safe surrounded by immersive videos and literary quotes.

The heart of the exhibition is the Hall of Hogwarts Houses, where one can have personalised moments in the house chosen at the time of pre-registration, but also visit the other houses and above all see (and take a selfie with) the Talking Hat, while in the Castle Hall one will see one's name appear on the Marauder's Map.

Tickets are already on sale on the exhibition website for dates from 19 September to 6 January with prices starting at 26 euros for adults.
