This won't earn me any points with the ladies, but I remember back when "Star Trek" turned 25, I headed down to Washington DC to check out the traveling tour of props and uniforms from the movies and TV shows. Well, now you Muggles can do the same for your own fantasy franchise as Warner Bros brings a roaming circus of "Potter" memorabilia to a city near you.
Launching in Spring 2009, "Harry Potter: The Exhibition" is set to hit at least ten cities worldwide and will include 10,000 square feet of "elaborate displays" dedicated to the actual costumes, props and artifacts from the film. Among the items cited are the Gryffindor common room and Hagrid's hut, as well as others from the Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. The company says the exhibition will run over the course of five years; the final "Potter" film will likely hit theaters somewhere in 2011 or '12.
