The family and I took our muggle butts down to the Museum of Science and Industry today to check out the Harry Potter exhibit. No cameras were allowed within the exhibit but there were a few photo opportunities in the main areas of the museum. The exhibit is a bit pricey, $25 per adult for about 45 minutes from start to finish. However, the props were amazing, everything from the first movie to Half-Blood Prince. Quidditch uniforms, dress robes, ball gowns, creatures... everything from the movies in fine detail. I especially liked the fake book jacket cover designs for Ron Weasley's favorite Quidditch teams. You could tell the designer(s) had a fun time coming up with authentic looking programs. Another area I enjoyed was Hagrid's hut. It definitely felt like you could have been hanging with Hagrid talking about dragons. All in all, we had a good time. The boy is a too young to appreciate the fine craftmanship but hopefully the exhibit will come back around when he gets older and is more familiar with the books and movies.
