I’m at the @TheFranklin’s media event announcement for the Harry Potter exhibit and we all had to choose a house scarf when we registered and this may be the best media check in ever.
Benny F is already watching out for a little magic.
Also, there is tea and crumpets.
The Philly Pops are on hand and wearing house scarves and I may get weepy if/when they play the Harry Potter theme.
😭

Franklin CEO Larry Dubinski announces the exhibit will open Feb. 18, 2022.
More than 21,000 pre-sale tickets have already been sold. Tickets go on sale to the public today.
It was just announced that this giant sculpture and giant snitch will travel around the region. People can interact with it through a QR code and have a chance to win the first 4 tickets into the exhibit when it opens. These Hogwarts students demonstrate.
Mayor Kenney is a Ravenclaw. Says he thinks Ben Franklin would have loved Harry Potter.
Going to write up info about how to get tickets and what to expect at Harry Potter: The Exhibit next year. One way is to chase the Golden snitch across the region (spoiler: I got him).
They also had golden snitched flying about the great hall over Benny F’s head.
I’m just going to say it was really hard not to climb on this broomstick during a press event. I’m jelly of the people who did.
I think Mayor Kenney even smiled a little today! #magical
Finally, I will leave you with this, my muggle friends. May you all always stay up to no good. 🧙♀️
