To the Depth of Rowling's Magical World!

This is just something one should not miss.

I guess this is every fantasy author's dream: seeing the world you created in your head comes alive –

and that world, might turn out to be better than you imagine actually, credit to the world's most experienced people with a liiitle extra imagination and superb craftmanships who are ready to work hand in hand to make every detail happens. And it is as well a dream comes true for us avid readers of course: to get into it.

Harry Potter: The Exhibition features authentic (that's a powerful word) costumes, sets, and props used for filming the whole 7 movies. It wasn't as grand as I imagined honestly (I expected to see the whole Hogwarts' grand hall which on second thought, is almost impossible to be flown or shipped here), but it is enough make you feel like you are in a whole new world. 

The exhibition is divided into few sections, you know like sections for the villains, the Quidditch athletes, the plants, the Yule ball and so on. And once again, you'll be blown away by the details, the craftmanship, and the depth of the story. In Gilderoy Lockhart's booth for example, the quality of Rowling and the team's imagination is displayed. I have never realized the character is that funny (Hermione's test paper is hysterical) - it is amazing how even a supporting character is profoundly fabricated and developed, beyond mere names or costumes.

Guess what's my favorite part of the exhibition? Lockhart's duelling costume! I think it's gallant! 

And the epic, magical journey ends in a shop. The Harry Potter shops, full of jaw-droppingly overpriced items the diehard fans would still buy anyway. I wanted to buy that ultra-awesome Marauder's map but I found out it's selling on six-ty not six-teen SGD. Ngyah.

< Warning! > By the way, since taking pics isn't allowed inside that whole new world, this post contains only non-informative cellphone photos of the exhibition's promotional items just to tell my fellow Potterfans in Indonesia that I've been there hahah! And of course, to encourage everyone, muggle or not, who happens to be in Singapore between June 2nd to September 30th to drop by for the experience.
