Harry Potter Exhibition

http://www.harrypotterexhibition.com/
Derek and I have always been fans of Harry Potter.  We've read all the books and seen all the movies multiple times.  When I was here on my business trip I saw that the Harry Potter Exhibition was in town so I made sure to get us tickets while it was still here.  We went this past weekend and really enjoyed looking at all the costumes, props, and sets from the movies.  I wish I could have taken pictures but photography was strictly prohibited inside the museum so the best I can do is a picture of the museum and a list of the awesome stuff we saw.
