Fans of the wizarding world will soon have the chance to step inside the magic, with Harry Potter: The Exhibition arriving at Paddington Pavilion this May.

Presented by Warner Bros. Discovery Global Experiences in partnership with Imagine and Eventim Live, the immersive experience invites visitors to explore iconic moments from the beloved Harry Potter franchise.

Opening to the public on 14 May, the exhibition will bring together authentic props, original costumes and interactive installations spanning the entire film series, as well as stories from Fantastic Beasts and the stage production Harry Potter and the Cursed Child.

Guests will begin their journey with a first-edition copy of Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone, before entering the Page to Screen Theatre for a multimedia introduction featuring memorable scenes and imagery from the films. From there, visitors move through a series of themed spaces inspired by the wizarding world.

Highlights include the Great Hall, the Hogwarts Houses gallery, and interactive Hogwarts classrooms, where fans can engage in activities such as potion-making, Divination and Defence Against the Dark Arts. In the Herbology Greenhouse, guests can even try their hand at potting a mandrake.

Designed as a self-guided experience lasting approximately 60–90 minutes, the exhibition combines immersive soundscapes, lighting effects and digital interactive elements to recreate the magic of Hogwarts.
