With Universal Studios Orlando opening a Diagon Alley section for the Wizarding World of Harry Potter some months ago and JK Rowling working on a spinoff movie, 'Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them,' Warner Brothers clearly doesn't want the magical fever to end.
According to The Telegraph Harry Potter is slowly evolving from being The Boy Who Lived to "The Boy Who May Never Die" proven by the enthusiastic reaction from fans for Rowling's recent anagram game on Twitter.
This week, the studio released another announcement that's bound to make Potterheads cry in happiness again. Next week, the Harry Potter Exhibit in London will be giving visitors a closer look into the franchise's more sinister side.
The Making Of Harry Potter, which opened in March 2012 has expanded to showcase the dark arts area of 'Harry Potter.
The highlight of the exhibit is the replica of the Malfoy Manor. Fans may remember (and shudder at) the scene where Voldemort meets with his death eaters and kills off a Hogwarts professor at the Malfoy's dining room. The exhibit shows the unfortunate Muggle studies teacher Charity Burbage hanging from the ceiling in all her creepy glory. It also shows Voldemort's 20-foot snake Nagini about to devour the poor teacher.
The Dark Lord and his death eaters sit around the table eerily faceless.
The Harry Potter exhibit also replicated the sinister part of Diagon Alley - Knockturn Alley. The dark arts store, Borgin and Burks, can be viewed with all its mysterious and dangerous items.
The team also assembled Dolores Umbridge's things and recreated her deceptively bright office. Her outfits are on display with The Telegraph noting that her outfits' shades of pink become darker the more power she acquires.
"All the departments are given the chance to exhibit what they do. The tour is a museum to those people," Pierre Bohanna, the franchise's head props maker for 10 years, told The Telegraph about the exhibit. "Normally our work just ends up in the bin. It's filmed, it's done its job and then it's not needed any more. This is the ultimate compliment."
The first new permanent part of Warner Brothers Studio Tour London - The Making Of Harry Potter exhibit will be open for the public on October 17 to November 3.
