Excitement is building for the October 25 opening of Harry Potter, the Exhibition at the Boston Museum of Science.  Imagine stepping inside the famous boy wizard’s magical world for a first-hand view of more than 200 authentic artifacts displayed in settings very similar to those created on the original film sets. The settings will include the Great Hall, Hagrid’s Hut, and the Gryffindor™ common room, among others. Even more exiting will be the opportunity to see the original spectacles Harry wore in the films.

Here’s the balance of the Top Twenty-one List but be sure and check the Top Ten in part one
