James and Oliver Phelps, Fred and George Weasley, will be at Harry Potter: The Exhibition when it opens in The Netherlands next month.

The exhibition, which has been touring since 2009, has been a hit in multiple cities around the world including Chicago, Boston, Toronto, Seattle, New York City, Sydney, Singapore, Tokyo, Paris, and Shanghai. It has already attracted over 4 million visitors. The previous tour stop was in Brussels Belgium, which ended on November 6th, 2016. The exhibition will open next to CineMec in Utrecht Leidsche Rijn in The Netherlands on February 11, 2017 and remain at that location until June 30th, 2017.

The Phelps twins have made it a point to attend Opening Day of the Harry Potter: The Exhibition in most of it’s host cities, and The Netherlands will be no exception to this. Rupert Grint has also been known to make an appearance at a few of the past locations.

The exhibit is described on the website as:

Harry Potter: The Exhibition is a 1400-square-meter experiential exhibition, where visitors are able to enjoy dramatic displays inspired by the Harry Potter film sets and see the amazing craftsmanship behind authentic costumes, props and creatures from the films. From the moment guests enter Harry Potter: The Exhibition they are immediately immersed in the world of Harry Potter. Guests are greeted by an exhibit host who sorts several lucky fans into their favorite Hogwarts™ houses, then leads them inside the exhibition where their journey to favorite scenes from the Harry Potter films begins.”

Some of the features include sets from the Harry Potter films including the Gryffindor common room and Harry’s dormitory, the Potions and Herbology classrooms, the Forbidden Forest, and Hagrid’s Hut. The sets are filled with authentic props and costumes used in the films. There are also multiple parts of the exhibit that are interactive for guests. Guests can toss a Quaffle inside the Quidditch Pitch and pull up their own Mandrakes in the Herbology classroom.
