Harry Potter: The Exhibition will begin a five-year, worldwide tour in Spring 2009.  There aren't many details yet and the website isn't finished, but the exhibit will include costumes, props, and artifacts.  As the tour progresses, new items will be added from the final installments in the series.

Oh WOW! That looks amazing!

I hope it comes to Australia!

What kind of 'world tour' would it be if it DIDN'T go to Aus Jo?

[ferdinand_the_yak]

True, that

[mcgonagall]

but how many times does it say world tour then miss Australia . Well if it comes to Australia i know it will not come to Perth so looks like i will be making a trip interstate

I hope it comes somewhere close to me.  I would be willing to go as far south as Miami or as far north as Atlanta.

I'm not getting my expectations too high.  According to the press release, this outfit's latest 'big' collaboration with Warner Bros was the "Fred Claus Snow Globe Experience," which visited 17 U.S. malls last year.

The 10,000 square feet won't exactly accommodate huge crowds at one time; it might fit inside the gift shop at the Star Trek Experience in the Las Vegas Hilton, and it has to include its own gift shop.

But if they indeed intend to stay in each venue for several months, it has true potential ... like a travelling corner of the Florida theme park.

Looks very interesting. 

So maybe that's why we haven't seen any Sirius costume cards...they are going on exhibition.

It would be nice if they gave a hint or two as to the venues
