The magic of the wizarding world is coming to Sydney, with Warner Bros. Discovery Global Experiences, Imagine, and Eventim Live announcing that the U.S. tour of Harry Potter™: The Exhibition will make its next stop at Paddington Pavilion, Sydney Olympic Park, opening May 14.
Billed as the most extensive touring exhibition ever created to celebrate the world of Harry Potter and beyond, the experience has already captivated more than four million fans worldwide.
Tickets go on sale March 26, with a presale beginning March 24 for those who join the waitlist at harrypotterexhibition.com/locations/sydney/.
The exhibition takes visitors behind the scenes of the Harry Potter and Fantastic Beasts™ film series, as well as the Tony® Award-winning Broadway production Harry Potter and the Cursed Child.
