Become a master of potions at Harry Potter experience this fall
Calling all Potterheads! The touring exhibition all about Harry Potter’s Wizarding World has officially opened its doors in Atlanta.
Harry Potter: The Exhibition, dubbed as the “most comprehensive tour” of the Wizarding World ever presented, debuted in the heart of Downtown Atlanta on Friday, Oct. 21. The immersive experience features several interactive experiences that bring Hogwarts and its many characters right into your hands — including Potions Class.
Visitors will get an up-close look at authentic props and original costumes from the magical series’ blockbuster films and those from “Fantastic Beasts” and “Harry Potter and the Cursed Child.” In addition, guests will be able to engage with “innovative, awe-inspiring, and magical environments and installations in ways never before experienced in a touring exhibition,” according to a press release.

The exhibit’s first stop on its worldwide tour occurred earlier this year in Philadelphia, PA at the Franklin Institute. It was seen by hundreds of thousands of fans, ranking as one of the museum’s most-visited exhibitions in its history, the release notes.
“Building on the tremendous success in Philadelphia, we are so excited to bring Harry Potter: The Exhibition to the city of Atlanta, the world headquarters of Imagine Exhibitions, and my hometown,” Tom Zaller, President and CEO of Imagine Exhibitions, said in a press release. “We create experiences all over the world and it’s nice to show our city what we do.”
