In Bandung, local visitor Fanny attended the exhibition at Braga City Walk on September 30, 2026, noting to IDN Times that detailed Harry Potter activations are rarely held outside of Jakarta. The exhibition areas were styled after the Hogwarts Great Hall and various house common rooms, offering fans a physical space to try on wizard robes and take themed photographs.

Visitors to the Pop-up Bus engaged in several themed activities designed around the franchise. As outlined by BagusTech, attendees could generate personalized front pages of the Daily Prophet, the fictional wizarding newspaper, featuring their own photos captured on-site. The activation also incorporated a Sorting Hat experience powered by the smartphone’s portrait camera features, sorting visitors digitally into Gryffindor, Slytherin, Ravenclaw, or Hufflepuff.
