There are numerous scenes set up for you to enjoy being photographed in, from Hagrid’s Hut and his giant chair to Professor Umbridge’s all-pink, cat-encrusted office. No need to be coy about taking photos here. There are countless photo opps Photograph: courtesy of Harry Potter: The Exhibition NYC That means you get to see the paintings come alive in the Hogwarts Castle Gallery, get sorted, look into a crystal ball in Professor Trelawney’s classroom, visit Hagrid’s Hut, play a basketball-like Quidditch game, walk into the Forbidden Forest, try your Patronus charm out, and actually sit at tables in the Great Hall with floating candles, where so much news is told to students over the films. You almost feel like you’re going through it with Harry, Ron and Hermione. Throughout the experience, you’re hearing the music and clips from the movies while in the places they happen.

You can practice your wand skills and your potion-making and get points toward your House and also fight off a Boggart. In the Marauders Map room, you get to see your name pop up on the map. In the Sorting Hat room, you get to digitally try on the hat and see your house come up. Every visitor signs into the experience (yes, you get to choose your house and patronus) and gets a bracelet that they can tap on various touchpoints. Part of the experience is feeling like you are a student at Hogwarts yourself and to do that, the exhibit uses RFID technology. You can have a somewhat personalized experience Photograph: Shaye Weaver/Time Out New York “We took all the little spaces and made great big moments,” Zaller added. It’s not just displays and it’s not just screens. We want you to feel like you’re making a potion in the potions classroom.” “We want you to feel like you’re in it and set in the environment. “We are billed as the most comprehensive and largest touring exhibit in the world,” says Tom Zaller, the CEO of Imagine Exhibitions, which is behind the exhibit. The show even pumps in specific scents across the galleries, from a wood-burning scent in Hagrid’s hut to an intriguing perfume in Professor Trelawney’s divination class. Room after room, you’re not just looking at the actual props and costumes used in the movies from Warner Brothers, but you’re learning how they were chosen and made, seeing them in context within incredibly built sets, and you’re able to touch and be within the Wizarding settings. Instead of something you just look at, it’s something you see, learn about, play with, sit down in and even smell.
Unlike previous exhibits, where visitors walk from room to room looking at displays of props and costumes set in static galleries, this exhibition showcases favorite moments from the movies all around you. Moments come alive Photograph: Shaye Weaver/Time Out New York
And without giving it all away, we’ll walk you through what to expect when you “enroll” in NYC's version of Hogwarts. Time Out New York was given a sneak peek of the exhibit ahead of the opening. RECOMMENDED: A first look at the world's largest Harry Potter Store

Through the use of dramatic lighting, set design, interactive technology and even scent, the exhibit will make you feel like you are actually there-in Hagrid’s hut, in potions class, dining in the Great Hall, learning how to fight the dark arts, fighting the Battle of Hogwarts and more. This one, however, is different in that it is more than a display of props and costumes. NYC has had its share of Harry Potter experiences, from the one in 2011 at Discovery Times Square, to the interactive games at the Harry Potter Store in Flatiron and Harry Potter and the Cursed Child on Broadway. Due to popular demand, the show's run has been extended until January 7, 2024, so you've got plenty of time to check it out. The touring show, “Harry Potter: The Exhibition,” is finally now open in Herald Square, and it’s going transport you. The Wizarding World of Harry Potter is right here in New York City for a limited time! Muggles, take note: You won’t need to travel through Platform 9¾ to get to Hogwarts.
