PHILADELPHIA — From a cupboard under the stairs in England to the Great Hall of Hogwarts Castle, a transfiguration spell has been cast on the Franklin Institute, turning the Center City museum into a magical maze of wizarding wonder for the world premiere of "Harry Potter: The Exhibition."
Running through September, the 20,000-square-foot show by Imagine Exhibitions is an interactive experience that gives muggles a chance to cast spells, play Quidditch and immerse themselves in endless photo opportunities (go ahead and sit at Dolores Umbridge’s desk, if you dare).
Joining your Daily Prophet reporter (moi) on the scene for a media preview of the exhibit last week was 8-year-old Kieran Goh, an avid "Harry Potter" fan and proud Gryffindor house member whose mom, Kristen Graham, is an education reporter at The Inquirer.
