## Transcript

[ MUSIC ] [ MUSIC ] We were invited to host the exhibition by the British Libray, who hosted the original exhibition in honor of the 20th anniversary of Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone. The exhibit consists of 150 objects, works of art, and illustrations. The exhibition is designed to follow the curriculum that Harry and his friends took. JK Rowling's books draw from the history and folklore of magic, and everyone can connect to magic in some way. People of all ages love Harry Potter. Whether you're four years old or you're 94. We've had people visit from all over the world. From all six continents, from 60 different countries, and from all 50 states in the United States.

We've had people coming from as far as New Zealand, from Thailand, from Oman, and our fans are thrilled. Many people read the books as they were growing up, they grew up with Harry Potter, they fell in love with the characters. And they want to experience as much of the Harry Potter World as possible.
