UPDATE: The official site is now online.
UPDATE II: Chicago's Museum of Science and Industry has been announced as the premiere venue of the exhibition, which will run from April 30 through September 7, 2009 before continuing its tour.
According to the release:
Harry Potter: The Exhibition will include elaborate displays of authentic costumes, props and artifacts from popular environments featured in the films such as those from Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, including the Gryffindor common room and Hagrid's hut. During its run, the exhibit will also be updated to include artifacts from the final installments of the Harry Potter film series. The exhibition will be displayed in major cultural and entertainment venues, museums and institutions, and will be supported by a multimedia promotional effort and advance ticket sales worldwide.

Great idea, I hope they will conider doing this in France. Otherwise I sshould be in England next year, so it might not be too hard to move to an exhibition. If it ever comes to France, I would suggest the Louvre, right next to the Mona Lisa, so she'll have one good reason to smile.
Aurora7, it would be really inconsiderate not to organize an exhibition in Edinburgh.

Oh, now this will be terrific fun! Be very cool indeed to see the costumes up close (for DIY purposes, too!). Despite the Ravenclaw colors being wrong. Still a little bitter on that one. :-P

I'm sure it will come to the US, but as usual it will probably be in LA or some big city, maybe New York, either way it will be a long drive for me :/

I would go to see it if it came anywhere close enough to me but most likely any of the cities it goes to will be to far of a drive.

Wow that'll be cool to see. HP has really become an important cultural phenomenon. I don't think any of us who've been fans for the past 10 years ever could have thought that the series would become this huge at that point. Can't wait!
