This touching video really shows just how close Emma Watson, Daniel Radcliffe and Rupert Grint have become over the years and how difficult it was for them to say goodbye to the series.

It's no secret that J-14 Magazine adores Greyson Chance -- after all, we were the first magazine to do a photo shoot with him last year. Now we're the only magazine that knows him well enough to take him on a one-of-a-kind adventure that we knew he'd enjoy.

We've always loved gabbing with Greyson about Harry Potter, so we invited him to spend a day with us at Harry Potter: The Exhibition at Discovery Times Square in New York City.... and indulged our mutual love for all things Potter.

Watch Greyson go from geeking out about Harry Potter costumes to throwing a Quidditch ball like a pro... and even playing some hilarious tricks on his pals. We guarantee you'll see a whole different side of Greyson after you watch this video. And for the full adventure, be sure to pick up the September 2011 issue of J-14 Magazine, on stands now.

J-14 readers Kate Weiksnar and Sydney McCabe were so excited to check out Harry Potter: The Exhibition in New York City on a sunny July day. But they got much more than they bargained for when they ran into Greyson Chance, who was spending the day at the exhibit with J-14! Kate and Sydney wanted to share with you their encounter with their idol in a J-14 Reader Blog, and to see more photos from J-14's day with Greyson at Harry Potter: The Exhibition, make sure to pick up our September issue, on stands Monday, August 15.

"So the other day, I was in New Jersey with my cousins and my aunt and we decided to go to see Harry Potter: The Exhibition in New York City -- I absolutely love Harry Potter! When we got there, it was so amazing! When you walk in, you can get sorted by the Sorting Hat and everything! The staff wears robes and talks with a British accent -- so cool! They take you into these huge hallways that are full of props from the movies. They have Harry and Ron's beds, the Boggart closet from Prisoner of Azkaban, and they even have Dolores Umbridge's office! Everything is up close, so you can look at the details.

"Everyone in my family has always been big Harry Potter fans. We've gone to all the movies, read the books, and went to Hogwarts at Universal Studios in Orlando! When my mom told me we were going to a Harry Potter Exhibit in New York, with my cousins from Florida, I was really excited... but not as excited as my cousin Kate and I were when we spotted Greyson Chance! It was really cool and quite surprising! Who would have thought we would meet Greyson Chance while potting Mandrakes?!" --Sydney
