The Harry Potter Exhibition
If you happen to be unlucky enough to live in New York City, then you at least have something to talk about. The upcoming Harry Potter Exhibition, opening up to the public April 5th through 5-September-2011, which is said to be an interactive fan wonderland with over 200 set pieces, is having a 'red carpet' event at Discovery Time Square on 4-April-2011. Where fans have a chance to purchase seating in risers near museum in order to check out any stars that come along for the reveal.
All in all, this seems to be a way to beat the standing along the sidewalk hours (and hours) ahead of time, in order to be somewhere close enough to see any HP stars. However, I don't personally know if these 'risers' are anywhere close enough to allow for autographs. Should you care to call and ask, be sure to give them a ring at: 888.988.8692
Tickets for the exhibition itself are $26.00
For the 4th, the event is supposed to start about 7pm.
Also, there is a 'sneak peak' weekend the 1st of April through the 3rd, that you can purchase tickets for as well. To purchase any tickets, call 866-811-4111, or go HERE. Have fun!

This will be the first red carpet film premiere event in Trafalgar Square, the instantly recognisable landmark providing the iconic backdrop for one of the biggest film premieres to ever take place in the capital.
The cast, filmmakers and guests attending the final Harry Potter premiere will begin the night on the red carpet in Trafalgar Square with the world's media in attendance. Special areas will be reserved within the square for fans and competition winners from all over the world to see the actors and creators of some of the most beloved characters of all time. Cast and guests will then make their way to Leicester Square's cinemas to watch the film.
The Mayor of London Boris Johnson said: "For the last decade we've been gripped by the on-screen battle between Harry Potter and his arch enemy Lord Voldemort and this is one of the most eagerly awaited films in history. As befits a great British triumph, I can think of no better venue than the iconic surroundings of Trafalgar Square in which to stage the most spectacular of send offs for this dramatic finale."
Josh Berger, President and Managing Director of Warner Bros. Pictures UK commented "We are delighted that our plans for the finale of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows will take place in such a spectacular venue. We pride ourselves on the creativity of our premieres and the space within Trafalgar Square will lend itself to being a magical experience for both guests and fans."
