Harry Potter: The Exhibition in Milan – An Unmissable Journey into the Wizarding World

Starting September 19, 2025, Milan will host one of the most anticipated experiences of the year: Harry Potter: The Exhibition. Set in the heart of the city at The Mall, in the vibrant Porta Nuova district, this large-scale immersive exhibition invites visitors to step into the magical universe of Harry Potter, Fantastic Beasts, and the Cursed Child. With interactive elements, original props, and spectacular scenography, the exhibition is set to become one of Milan’s top cultural highlights.

A Multi-Sensory Experience for Fans of All Ages

This is not your typical museum-style exhibition. Harry Potter: The Exhibition is a fully immersive, self-guided journey through over 20 themed galleries, where visitors can engage with the story through sight, sound, touch, and even scent.

From the moment you enter, your personal wristband will enhance the experience. You’ll be sorted into your Hogwarts house, and as you explore the exhibition, you’ll be able to collect points for your house, hunt for hidden Golden Snitch medallions, cast spells, and brew potions. Each room brings a different magical environment to life: crawl into the famous Cupboard Under the Stairs, warm up by the fireplace in Hagrid’s Hut, or admire the tiny details in the original costumes, from handcrafted buttons to burn marks used in battle scenes.

Whether you’re a devoted fan or simply curious about the behind-the-scenes world of filmmaking and stage design, the exhibition provides rich content that appeals to all levels of interest. It’s recommended for ages 5 and up, and although children under 2 can enter for free, a ticket is still required. Strollers are not permitted inside the venue.

Harry Potter: Ticket Types and How to Choose

There are several ticket options to match your travel style and schedule. If you’re looking for total flexibility, the VIP Ticket (€47.60) is the top choice. It allows entry on any date and time, includes fast-track access, and comes with exclusive themed gifts — ideal for those who want the most complete experience.

The Flex Ticket (€41.60) offers similar freedom, allowing access on any day and time during the exhibition’s opening hours, but without the extra perks. It’s perfect for travelers who want to keep their itinerary open.

For those who prefer a more budget-conscious option, the Timed Entry Ticket starts at €29.60. You’ll select a specific day and a 30-minute window to enter, which helps manage the flow of visitors and ensures a more relaxed experience inside.

All prices include a €2.00 ticketing fee and €1.60 booking fee. Tickets must be booked in advance, and demand is expected to be high throughout the autumn season.
