| | |  Early Harry Potter Exhibition tour reveals new information (UPDATE #3)
In two days time one of our moderators, Vonnie, will be attending a press preview of Harry Potter: The Exhibition, at the Chicago Museum of Science and Industry. An early tour has already taken place, revealing new information about the attraction. Quote:
"There was a section devoted to Defense Against the Dark Arts where we see Gilderoy Lockhart's complete published works and the portrait of him painting himself. There is also a life-sized "freshly caught" Cornish Pixie.
For Professor Lupin we see the Boggart Wardrobe and a full-sized Jack in the Box.
Professor Umbridge is represented by a wholly pink display, complete with kitten plates, pink kitten stationary, and dangerous detention quill. Harry's parchment with "I will not tell lies" is sitting right on the table."
Quote:
"There are also Ministry missives including the paper airplanes and the Wizard version of Cliff's Notes. It is a study aid for the O.W.L.s.: How to Soar on Your OWLs! The Interdepartmental memos include an 'M' across the fold along the top and is sealed with a Ministry of Magic emblem (sticker.) They are printed on purple paper."
Quote:
"We move from there (Greenhouse) into the Quidditch area and the first thing we see is the crate from The Sorcerer's Stone containing the four balls. There is also the Nimbus 2000 and 2001 (Sorry, no Firebolt!) There are many sets of Quidditch including Victor Krum's from the World Cup. We see Ron' robes from the upcoming Half-blood Prince film. You also get to test your skills with a Quaffle (I only missed one!) We also see robes for Draco Malfoy, Oliver Wood, and Cedric Diggory."
Further descriptions can be read at the above link. The display will open on April 30th and close on September 27th. Information and ticket details can be found . UPDATE: Another early tour report, that came about thanks to membership with the museum, can be read here. UPDATE #2: Another report can be found here.
UPDATE #3: A final report can be read here.  | |

Man and I live about ten hours away from Chicago and with my work schedule, I cannot go even though I registered for a contest to get tickets to see the showing, but I hope that they plan on coming to the Twin Cities which is about an hour away!!!!
