Muggles, Get Your Harry Potter Fix
The Harry Potter Museum is at UPenn
You'll get to experience life as a witch or wizard, but only for one day.
Thanks to a group of students from the University of Pennsylvania, the world of Harry Potter will come to life in Philly on Nov. 22.
If you've ever wondered what it must be like to go to Hogwarts, the Harry Potter and Magical Muggle Museum at the Penn Museum of Archaeology and Anthropology is probably the closest you'll ever get.
From 11 a.m. to 4 p.m., visitors to the museum will be able to take practice O.W.L Exams, play Quidditch, attend lectures in subjects like "Potions", get "sorted" into houses and more.
We know you've all secretly wished you could not only see what it's like at Hogwarts, but also stroll along Diagon Alley. Well, get excited, because that dream will become a reality at the museum when you see the life-size recreation that has been built for the occasion.
Twilight fans, you're welcome to come along -- you can even compete with your rival Harry Potter lovers in a game of "Twisted Twister" to see which fantasy world will prevail.
Tickets are $10 for adults, $6 for students and kids ages 6 to 17 and admission is free for the little ones under 6.
