Harry Potter and Ron Weasley Quidditch movie costumes on display...

On my visit to Warner Bros. Studios VIP Studio Tour Museum on July 29, 2014 I got to see a lot of original costumes and props from all eight Harry Potter movies, including this fantastic selection of Quidditch goodies.

In J. K. Rowling's magical universe, Quidditch is the wizarding world's favourite sport played on broomsticks and featured prominently in her seven best-selling novels and the film franchise.

Included in the display was the Gryffindor Quidditch robes worn by Daniel Radcliffe as a 'Seeker' in 2004's Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban and his 'Nimbus 2000' broomstick from 2001's inaugural movie. In addition, the exhibit also had Ron Weasley's 'Keeper' costume worn by Rupert Grint from 2009's Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince. 

The authentic costumes were surrounded by other Quidditch paraphernalia, including banners for Hogwarts Houses, Hufflepuff and Gryffindor, supporters whistles, drums and noisemakers and even a bludger bat used in the aerial game.

Speaking of magical sports, here's also the costume worn by Robert Pattinson as Gryffindor's 'Cedric Diggory' in the Triwizard Tournament from 2005's Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire in which he was killed, plus an open Golden Egg prop which is a clue that the contestants had to solve to proceed to the next task.

If you're a true Potterphile, be sure to also check out all these other original Harry Potter costumes and props on display from various exhibits over the years.
