Abstract: This science popularization experiment is themed around the beloved magical literature character Harry Potter and his tour in China, specifically focusing on his journey at Wuhan. The experiment showcases the bronze restoration technology used in museums, the sacrificial anode anti-corrosion technology of the “Zhiyin” cruise ship, the cement solidification and 3D printing technology used in the Wuhan Yangtze River Bridge, and the preparation of carbon quantum dots depicted in the Yellow Crane Tower. Through these demonstrations, chemical knowledge is subtly disseminated.

Key words: Harry Potter China tour, Bronze restoration, Sacrificial anode method, 3D printing, Carbon quantum dots
