Harry Potter: The Exhibition will be sticking around in Boston for a bit longer.

The traveling interaction exhibit will stay at CambridgeSide well into 2025 and will now close on April 27.

Per a press release, "'Harry Potter: The Exhibition' takes visitors of all ages on a one-of-a-kind journey through the entire world of Harry Potter, celebrating some of the most iconic moments from the beloved Harry Potter and Fantastic Beasts films. Upon entry, everyone is given an exhibition wristband for a personalized experience. From selecting a Hogwarts house (either Gryffindor, Hufflepuff, Ravenclaw, or Slytherin) to picking your wand and Patronus, visitors will be able to create their own, uniquely magical moments while earning points for their house with each interactive activity."

For the extended stay of the exhibition, two new costumes have been added for fans to enjoy. One of the costumes was worn by the late Dame Maggie Smith, who famously portrayed Professor McGonagall.

The Harry Potter exhibition also features a retail shop filled with a wide variety of apparel and even edible treats, including Chocolate Frogs and bottled Butterbeer.

Complete ticket details can be found at HarryPotterExhibition.com.
