Getting tickets to the Broadway show Harry Potter and The Cursed Child, which opened recently, is a tough act.

Harry Potter: A History of Magic is expected to be just as popular with Harry Potter fans of all ages. Get your tickets now for choice of dates and times.

The exhibit, at the New York Historical Society, includes material from author J.K. Rowling’s personal archives, set models and costumes from the Broadway show, interactive exhibits including Harry Potter trivia games, and more.

It opens Oct. 28 and will be on view through January 27, 2019.

Harry Potter: A History of Magic is the first American showing of the most successful showcase of all time at the British Library in London.

NYC hot ticket alert: Tickets for timed entry go on sale at noon on April 26,  $21 for adults, $16 for seniors (65+), $13 for students, $6 for kids ages 5–13, and free for children to age 4, and include admission to the rest of the museum.

At Harry Potter: A History of Magic, from medieval descriptions of dragons and griffins, to the origins of the sorcerer’s stone, Harry Potter fans can explore the subjects studied at Hogwarts and see original drafts and drawings by J.K. Rowling as well as Harry Potter illustrator Jim Kay.

In celebration of the 20th anniversary of the U.S. publication of J.K. Rowling’s Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone, also on display is illustrator Brian Selznick’s artwork that will appear on the covers of the Harry Potter series to be published by Scholastic later this year.

Also on view to the public for the first time will be Mary GrandPré’s illustrations created for Scholastic’s original editions of the novels.

Costumes and set models from Harry Potter and the Cursed Child Broadway show will be showcased in the museum exhibition, which features numerous interactive activities designed to delight Harry Potter fans of all ages.

Additional family and adult programs will be unveiled in the coming months.

September 2018 marks the 20th anniversary of the U.S. publication of J.K. Rowling’s Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone, and Scholastic kicked off its year-long celebration in January 2018. The Wizarding World will have one of its busiest years ever in the U.S., with the opening of Harry Potter and the Cursed Child on Broadway in April; the British Library’s exhibition Harry Potter: A History of Magic, opening at the New York Historical Society in October; and the second Fantastic Beasts movie, The Crimes of Grindelwald, opening in cinemas in November.

The Harry Potter books have sold more than 160 million copies in the U.S. alone and more than 500 million copies worldwide. The books are published in more than 200 territories in 80 languages.
