The Franklin Institute in Philadelphia offers plenty of fun for the traveling family during any time of the year, but now, with the Harry Potter Exhibition open, there is even more to explore. With the buzz of the 20-year reunion special Return to Hogwarts, this exhibit couldn’t have come at a better time.

 

The groundbreaking exhibition will celebrate all the iconic moments, characters, settings, magical creatures and more. It uses best-in-class immersive design and technology to bring the magic of Harry Potter and his Wizarding World to life.

 

Step inside Hogwarts Castle, interact with brilliant student wizards, witness scary duels, see mythical creatures and even experience the Dark Arts. Wander through Gringotts bank and visit the Ministry of Magic. Visitors will get the chance to see the workings and craftsmanship behind the popular films. Along with visiting some of the sets, you can get an up-close look at props and original costumes from both the Harry Potter and Fantastic Beast film series.

 

Magic will come to life at the Franklin Institute and fans of the Wizarding World can connect and mingle with other fans from the community. Whether you have been a fan for years or have children just getting into the series, this exhibition will take your love for the films to a whole new level.
