Harry Potter exhibition tickets go on sale on Monday

Tickets to visit the Harry Potter exhibition at the British Library will go on sale this coming Monday (3rd April).

Considering the topic and the huge fan base, this could well be one of those British Library exhibitions where it’s wise to buy tickets early as they could well sell out.

Opening in October, the exhibition will celebrate the 20th anniversary of the publication of the first book in the series, Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone.

The exhibition will showcase a display of wizarding books, manuscripts and magical objects, and combine centuries-old British Library treasures with original material from Bloomsbury’s and J.K. Rowling’s own archives.

The structure of the exhibition has been inspired by the subjects that Harry and his friends study at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, from Potions and Herbology, to Astronomy and Care of Magical Creatures, and will explore the rich magic traditions that they draw on.

The exhibition will open on 20 October 2017, and run until 28 February 2018.

Tickets go on sale on Monday 3rd April at 12 noon and can be booked here.

Note – you will not be able to purchase tickets in person from the British Library Box Office or over the phone — only online this time.
