Held in a suitably spindly house in Soho, it celebrates the work design studio MinaLima did for the movies – from designing Marauder’s Map to making up covers for the The Daily Prophet.

The Harry Potter section of the exhibition runs through three rooms. The first displays graphic prints of products designed for the Weasley twin’s joke shop.

While this is only a very small Potter experience, it’s a chance to check out fun details you’d never have spotted in the films – like this ‘Witch Watchers’ offer in the Prophet. Plus, you can buy prints and gifts in the shop downstairs.
