Calling all wizards and muggles - Harry Potter is swooping into Boston this fall. Warner Bros. Discovery Global Themed Entertainment in collaboration with Imagine Exhibitions and Eventim Live announced that the magic of "Harry Potter: The Exhibition" will be spellbinding fans at CambridgeSide starting September 13, 2024. According to a press release from the official exhibition website, tickets for this immersive experience will be up for grabs starting May 16, but eager Potterheads can join a waitlist now for early access on May 14. Plus, snagging ticks during the presale means you also get a special edition tote bag, commemorating the exhibit.

The tour has been on a global conquest, already enchanting over 2 million fans worldwide, and is currently exhibiting in New York City and Macao, China, with upcoming openings in Munich, Germany, and São Paulo, Brazil later this year. Boston, with its own storied past, is set to be an ideal backdrop for the touring exhibition that brings the Wizarding World to life. Tom Zaller, the bigwig president and CEO of Imagine Exhibitions, expressed his excitement, stating, "Boston is rich with culture and history, making this a perfect stop for Harry Potter: The Exhibition on our US tour."

The exhibition itself is no small feat of magic. It will feature everything from the original costumes to props straight out of the movies and the Tony® award-winning Broadway production, "Harry Potter and the Cursed Child." Fans can deep dive into detailed environments reminiscent of the beloved film series, complete with behind-the-scenes secrets and interactive experiences. Standout galleries include the From Page to Screen Gallery, which features a first edition of "Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone" and the multimedia-rich Hogwarts Castle Gallery where attendees’ names magically appear on the Marauder's Map.

For those looking to get their Potter pilgrimage on, the exhibition will offer a host of interactive elements. Pot a mandrake in the Herbology Greenhouse, mix up some concoctions in the Potions Classroom, and face off against a boggart in Defense Against the Dark Arts. No trip to the wizarding world would be complete without a glimpse into Hagrid’s Hut and confronting the various denizens of The Forbidden Forest. An exclusive collection of Harry Potter: The Exhibition merchandise will also be on hand, with everything from Chocolate Frogs to Butterbeer on the menu for fans looking to take a piece of the wizarding world home.
