In partnership with Warner Bros. Consumer Products, GES Events
created the 1,500-square-meter experiential exhibition, where
visitors can enjoy dramatic displays inspired by the
HogwartsTM film sets and see the amazing craftsmanship
behind authentic costumes, props and creatures from the films.
Everything Is New, Sold Out, Encore and Fimalac are partnering with
GES Events to present the exhibition in Lisbon.
Since its highly successful premiere at the Museum of Science
and Industry in Chicago in 2009, the exhibition has been
presented in a variety of major cultural and entertainment
institutions and museums in cities around the world and has
welcomed more than 6 million visitors. Locations included
Chicago, Boston, Toronto, Seattle, New
York, Sydney, Singapore, Tokyo, Edmonton, Sweden, Cologne, Paris, Shanghai, Brussels, Madrid, Amsterdam, Milan, Berlin
and Valência.
From the moment guests enter Harry Potter: The
Exhibition, they are immediately drawn into the world of the
films. Guests are greeted by an exhibition host who sorts several
lucky fans into one of the Hogwarts houses and then leads them into
the exhibition where their journey to their favorite scenes begins.
The exhibition features settings from the film's most popular
locations—including the GryffindorTM common room and
dormitory; classrooms like Potions and Herbology; and the Forbidden
Forest—which are filled with thousands of authentic props,
costumes, and creatures used in the filming of the iconic
series.
The exhibition in Lisbon will
be open from November 16 to April 8.
Timed-entry tickets are required, and the last entry will be one
hour and a half before the closing of the exhibition. Tickets to
the exhibition are on sale at www.harrypotterexhibition.pt.
Please check the website for opening dates and hours.
An exclusive audio tour is also available, providing
behind-the-scenes insight into the making of the Harry Potter
films, with commentary from the producers, prop designers, costume
designers and creature designers.

ABOUT:
About Wizarding World:
More than two decades ago, a
young Harry Potter was whisked onto Platform 9
¾ at King's Cross Station, and readers everywhere
were swept along with him into a magical universe, created by J.K.
Rowling. In the years since, the seven Harry Potter bestsellers
have inspired eight blockbuster movies, an award-winning stage
play, and, more recently, the start of the Fantastic Beasts
five-film series. People of all ages have been enthralled by these
extraordinary adventures, set within an expanding universe,
inspired by the vision of J.K. Rowling.
For today's growing worldwide fan community, and for generations
to come, the Wizarding World welcomes everyone to explore more of
this magical universe — past, present and future. The Wizarding
World also provides fans with an instant, trusted kite-mark of
quality and authenticity.
