STRAFFORD, PA - AKSM Touring's latest tour premiered at the Tredyffrin Library in Strafford, Pennsylvania. "Harry Potter, A Journey Through Film: The Expo" will run at the Tredyffrin Library from July 1st through the 31st in honor of the fictional character's birthday as well as the release of 'Harry Potter and the Cursed Child' book launch which is set for July 31st.

The exhibit contains many of the iconic sets, props and costumes that were created especially for the films. The AKSM Touring team behind "Harry Potter: A Journey Through Film" wanted to preserve and showcase these iconic props, costumes and sets so that Harry Potter fans could experience the magic of film making first-hand. Many of the cast and crew of Harry Potter and The New York Psycho – a hit parody of the iconic series – returned to see the iconic set pieces and props as well as share their memories from filming the day before, and on July 1st, 2016, the expo officially opened its doors at the Tredyffrin Library.

The expo reaches a climax with a "Yule Ball" gala event hosted by the Tredyffrin Library on July 23rd, 2016. Many AKSM Film Studios cast and crew members will be in attendance as well as members of the 2015 American Music Abroad Bronze Tour of Europe and members of the Conestoga High School Performing Arts Classes of 2012 to 2018.
