Where the exhibition goes from here is the big question now. As massive Potterheads I am sure you will agree with me that you hope the exhibition does not go in the trash. But maybe move to another museum for Wizarding World fans elsewhere in the world to visit. Or perhaps a more permanent home such as the Warner Bros. Studios A Making of Harry Potter tour.
We will wait with baited breathe on that one.
