TORONTO — Canadians will get to walk through Harry Potter's wizard world next spring.

The Ontario Science Centre will host the exclusive Canadian premiere of "Harry Potter: The Exhibition" from April 9 to August 22, 2010.

The international touring exhibition is inspired by the "Harry Potter" film sets, including the Great Hall, Hagrid's hut and the Gryffindor common room.

Visitors will learn about the craftsmanship behind more than 200 costumes and props from the boy-wizard movie franchise that stems from J. K. Rowling's bestselling book series.

"Harry Potter: The Exhibition" debuted at Chicago's Museum of Science and Industry last April and is now at the Museum of Science in Boston.

Tickets to the Toronto exhibit are now on sale.

The announcement of the exhibit's Canadian premiere comes as "Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince" is released on Blu-ray and DVD.

The final film in the series, "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows," will hit theatres in two parts: Part 1 in November 2010 and Part 2 in July 2011.

Naturally coming on the heels of the Gulf event, this will be jumped on by all involved with both feet and there will be no lack of criticism regardless of who does what. If they had of had it cleaned up within 24 hours, the governor would complain that nobody consulted her on how to do it. A no win situation. I seriously doubt that anyone is deliberately dragging their heels on this, it's too high profile.
