Well this isn’t the first time the Golden Snitch has found its way to the soils of Singapore.

The entirety of the Forbidden Forest exhibition had interactive features–allowing guests to answer quizzes and access the official themed filters.
For the upcoming Harry Potter: Visions of Magic launch, it is claimed to include an all-new experience, far more immersive than the previous one to capture the magical feeling as portrayed in the films. According to Peter Van Roden, Senior Vice President of Warner Bros. Discovery Global Themed Ent., this combination of interactive art experience along with the rich fictional world of J.K Rowling.
The organisers also added how an extra 10,000 square feet are added, creating more space for Muggleheads to practise their wizardry. As a result, it is said to be the biggest Harry Potter exhibition yet! Potterheads can expect this to be nothing short of magical.
The exhibition includes a series of familiar rooms as seen on television like the Room of Requirement where Harry secretly tutored his classmates on black magic or Newt’s extensive Menagerie, accompanied with surreal soundscapes and vivid lights–made perfect for muggles to embrace their wizard self! You’re A Wizard, Child! Remember that!
Realistic, life-size replicas are also added as part of the exhibition. Peter Van Roden added, “Not only are we excited to be bringing the world tour to our fans in Singapore but to be expanding the experience with never-before-seen environments.” It’s likely a hint that there are more exciting things that are yet to be revealed! Oh, they surely are stirring something in their cauldrons.
