If you’ve ever dreamt of stepping into the wizarding world, now’s your chance. Harry Potter™: The Exhibition is coming to Abu Dhabi, bringing the magic of Hogwarts to life in a way you’ve never experienced before.
Opening at Manarat Al Saadiyat on 25 July, the exhibition promises to be a truly immersive journey for fans of all ages.
This isn’t just any ordinary exhibition. With hands-on activities, you can choose your very own Patronus, cast spells, test their Quidditch™ skills, and even brew potions - everything you’d expect from a visit to Hogwarts, minus the owl post.
The exhibition celebrates the world of Harry Potter and Fantastic Beasts™, featuring a mix of iconic moments, props, and costumes from the films. You’ll even find highlights from Harry Potter and the Cursed Child, the Tony® award-winning Broadway production. From original costumes to authentic props, this exhibition brings you closer to the magic with every step.
Whether you’re a Gryffindor, Slytherin, Ravenclaw, or Hufflepuff, the Hogwarts Houses Gallery will allow you to connect with your house in a fun, interactive way—complete with the famous Sorting Hat! Plus, there are immersive classrooms where you can try your hand at brewing potions, predicting the future in Divination, or even facing off against a boggart in Defence Against the Dark Arts.

Fans can also explore Hagrid’s Hut and The Forbidden Forest, where they’ll get to create their own Patronus charm and meet creatures like centaurs and Acromantula (if you dare). And, of course, there’s the chance to pick up some exclusive Harry Potter merch at the on-site shop to remember your magical experience.
Since debuting in Philadelphia in February 2022, the exhibition has travelled the world, attracting over 3.5 million visitors. Now it’s Abu Dhabi’s turn to get swept up in the wizarding world, with a chance to dive into all the enchanting details that have captivated fans for over two decades.
Harry Potter™: The Exhibition is a must-see for anyone who’s ever wanted to experience the magic up close. Whether you’re a lifelong fan or new to the wizarding world, there’s something for everyone to enjoy.
