Harry Potter: The Exhibition

As a big fan of Harry Potter, I was thrilled when I found out about Harry Potter: The Exhibition at the ArtScience Museum. Right after having a wonderful tour of the Marina Bay Sands Hotel I got to check out famous paintings and props at the Art Science Museum!

The first thing I did when I entered the ArtScience Museum was go straight down to the bottom floor where Harry Potter: The Exhibition was. I entered a room where a girl in wizard clothes held a "sorting hat" and brought up volunteers to announce what Hogwarts House they belonged in. Then we were all lead into another room where there were many screens that showed a montage of all the Harry Potter films, getting me really excited for the rest of the tour.

Harry Potter: The Exhibition Quidditch

A walk around the exhibit brought me through various Harry Potter movie settings including one showcasing Quidditch™, the popular sport of the wizarding world. Here I could see different Quidditch costumes and props including the Golden Snitch, the Quidditch World Cup and Harry's Nimbus 2000 broom. Guests can try their hand at Quidditch, toss a Quaffle and earn points for their house.

Harry Potter: The Exhibition Hagrids hut

In Hagrid's hut pictured above, Rubeus Hagrid's™ living quarters are recreated complete with props like dragon eggs, animal cages and his trusty pink umbrella. Guests even have the opportunity to sit in Hagrid's chair.

Harry Potter: The Exhibition Harry's wand, glasses and map

Throughout the exhibit are many original props used on set including Harry Potter's eyeglasses, Hogwarts™ acceptance letter, the Marauder's Map and his wand.

Being surrounded by the sets and props made me feel like I was in the movie and brought flashbacks of the film. Any Harry Potter fan would love this exhibition and enjoy being part of the movie's history.
