The hugely popular Harry Potter™: The Exhibition has been extended until June 28, 2026, giving even more visitors the chance to step into the wizarding world — and the response from audiences has been nothing short of magical.
A Phenomenon That Captured Hungarian Hearts
Since opening its doors, the exhibition has already welcomed thousands of visitors of all ages, and demand shows no signs of slowing down. The overwhelming enthusiasm from Hungarian audiences prompted organizers to push the closing date forward, ensuring that fans who haven’t yet made the trip won’t miss out.
Tom Zaller, President and CEO of Imagine Exhibitions, couldn’t hide his excitement about the reception: “We are absolutely thrilled by the fantastic welcome we have received from Hungarian audiences. Extending the exhibition until June 28th gives even more people the opportunity to experience the magic during this time.”

Whether you’re a lifelong Potterhead or just discovering the magic for the first time, the exhibition has something to offer every visitor.

Where to Find It — A Perfect Day Trip from Budapest
The exhibition is hosted at the Green Event Hall in Szentendre, located at Kalászi út 3, just a short journey from Budapest’s city center. Szentendre itself is well worth the trip — this charming riverside town on the banks of the Danube is one of Hungary’s most beloved destinations, famous for its colorful baroque architecture, cobblestone streets, and thriving arts scene. It’s an easy 40-minute ride from Budapest on the HÉV suburban railway (line H5 from Batthyány tér), making it a perfect half-day or full-day excursion.
Tickets and Practical Info
Tickets start from 10,990 HUF (approximately €27–28), making it an accessible experience for solo travelers, couples, and families alike. Given the popularity of the exhibition and its extended — but still limited — run, booking your tickets in advance is strongly recommended to secure your preferred time slot.
The exhibition is open to visitors of all ages, and with its blend of interactive elements and visual spectacle, it works just as well for families with young children as it does for adult fans who grew up with the books and films.
Don’t Miss Your Chance
With the closing date set for June 28, 2026, the window is still open — but it won’t be forever. If Budapest is on your travel itinerary this spring or early summer, combining a visit to the charming town of Szentendre with the Harry Potter™ Exhibition is an experience that deserves a spot on your must-do list. After all, the magic is only here for a limited time.
