Now that our collective childhoods have officially come to a close thanks to the end of the Harry Potter saga, the next best thing is being able to rummage amongst artifacts, costumes, props and set pieces that appeared in the films in the new exhibition at the Powerhouse Museum: Harry Potter, The Exhibition, which will stop in Sydney only on its world tour.

“Along the way, visitors can enter the Quidditch area and toss a Quaffle, pull their own Mandrake in the Herbology vignette, tour a recreation of Hagrid’s hut, encounter Buckbeak the Hippogriff and look into the many eyes of a giant Acromantula spider.”

Sounds pretty sweet to us, and we don’t even care that we’re not 14 years old anymore, WE WILL ALWAYS LOVE YOU HARRY POTTER.
