SCRIPT: HARRY POTTER – THE EXHIBITION

So, we are really excited to share with you the world premiere of the Harry Potter Exhibition. We opened on the April 30 and the whole experience starts right here, where all the guests come in and we’ll pick a volunteer out, and they’ll be able to be sorted.

This is over 12000 square feet of Harry Potter artifacts, all original artifacts from the entire film series. We’ve even got some things from Half Blood Prince, which are pretty exciting. So, it starts here and we can’t wait to give you a little bit of a sneak preview. So, let’s step inside.

So, once you pass this sorting hat area, you are in the pre-show and the pre-show highlights all the posters from the films. We got two slots left from the last two films and then everybody here gets some introduction to the Harry Potter film series.

So, one of the most exciting areas of the exhibition is, of course, the boys’ dormitory. Here we highlight both elements from Harry as well as Ron. We’ve got the Golden Egg. We’ve got Ron and Harry’s dress uniforms, and the beds here in the dormitory are actually directly from the movie set.

In addition, we highlight, of course, Harry’s wand and his glasses, which we think everybody, of course, wants to see and those are positioned right next to the Marauder’s map. In the exhibition, we wanted to highlight all of the different classrooms, and one of the ones in particular that we wanted to highlight were the Mandrakes. I think everybody loves to hate these little guys, but they are really, really fun to play with.

In Hagrid’s hut there is a lot of things to see. He, obviously, loves the creatures that populate the different areas around Hogwarts. His hut can be a little small and contained, especially when you are dealing with a half giant.

We also wanted to highlight some pretty exciting things from the Forbidden Forest and one in particular I’m really excited to show you and that is the Hungarian Horntail dragon.

In the Great Hall area of the exhibition, you get to see an amazing amount of artifacts, all that were featured in various film sequences from the Great Hall. One of my favorites is you’re able to see Dumbledore’s costumes up close. These are really, really amazing. You certainly get glimpses of the detail in the films, but nothing like when you get to see it up close and in person.

Well, I hope you enjoyed this sneak preview of the Harry Potter exhibition. That was just a tiny, tiny fraction of what you’ve got in store for you here. So, we worked a long time on it; we had an incredible crew. We hope you get an opportunity to check out the exhibition at the Museum of Science and Industry in Chicago, if not, we’ll be announcing further venues in the next couple of weeks.

So, thank you very much for your time, and we hope you enjoy Harry Potter The Exhibition.
