How Do I Get There?

The Harry Potter Magic at Play Experience can be found on the first level next to Prada at The Shops at the Bravern in Bellevue, which is only a 20-minute drive from Seattle! We suggest coming early since finding your way from the underground parking garage to the exhibit can be a little tricky. If you are lucky to find yourself near the green, yellow, or purple elevator, those will bring you closest to the Harry Potter exhibit. If you made it to the red elevator like us (which was the furthest) it’s a great way to explore the shopping center as you need to walk across the second floor and loop around to the other side. So, come and explore this beautiful shopping center and make your way to the magical world of Harry Potter.

Magical Photo Ops

I hope you’re ready for a magical time and some amazing photo ops! You won’t want to miss the chance to sit under the Sorting Hatâ„¢, stand by Dumbledore’s podium in the Great Hall, and even soar through the air during a Quidditchâ„¢ match! Just wait until you see the kids conjure the Patronus Charm in the Forbidden Forest – it’s a sight to behold! Plus, having an older sibling by your side makes it even better!

Just a quick note, the digital photo packet is an add on to the general admission ticket. But the good news is that only one packet is needed per group, so everyone can get in on the fun! And don’t worry about posing – most of these photo ops are self-service, so you can take a few shots and perfect your best pose. Get ready to capture some amazing memories!

Interactive Exhibits

Once you step through the entrance, get ready to be transported into the magical world of J.K. Rowling! Explore Privet Drive, hop on the Hogwarts Express at Platform 9 ¾™, and soar through the air to catch the golden snitch. With hands-on activities like potion mixing and wand lessons, you’ll feel like a real witch or wizard in no time. 

As you make your way through the exhibit, experience magical creatures up close such as the mischievous Pygmy Puff. The Forbidden Forest is full of hidden wonders and surprises, including glowing Patronuses and scary Dementors. You’ll also find an incredible collection of props and artifacts from the Harry Potter movies that will transport you behind the scenes. For those seeking a challenge, try your hand at Quidditch or fly on a broom stick. And don’t worry about leaving the little ones behind – there are climbers and slides in the Dursley’s house, and they will have a blast exploring Hagrid’s hut too!

Butterbeer And Sweets

What an exciting day at the Harry Potter Experience in Seattle! As the day winds down, families can come together for a grand finale – a stop at the Butterbeerâ„¢ Bar to taste sweet treats inspired by the Wizarding World and shop for exclusive merchandise in the Harry Potter gift shop. I am sure your family will love to try some delicious Butterbeer, chocolate frogs, Bertie Bott’s ever-flavored beans, and wait for it…a chocolate wand! It’s like reliving Harry Potter’s first day on the Hogwarts Express all over again, when he bought one of everything. Don’t miss out on these magical treats – try them all!
