You guys got some really cool stuff. I’ve had chocolate frogs before, but they weren’t packaged like those, and the cards inside were different. I have my eye on the stuffed Fawkes. I must have that!
Thank you so much for the pictures and videos you’ve so kindly posted. Could you possibly provide a price list for the items you purchased? We are going soon, my son is a HP fantatic and I would like to know how much all this merch is going to cost us.
Thank you!
Thanks for all the awesome info! What are the wands made of ? are they wooden, metal,or plastic? If they’re plastic I don’t think I want to spend thirty dollars on them so I hope they’re not :/
They’re definitely not plastic. They appear to be metal at their core with additional resin features for the detailing. They’re clearly painted as well. The wands are very strong and don’t feel cheap.
That is probably, so far, my only complaint… Of course I haven’t gone yet, but I am going to say that they could have made the sneakoscope a much funner interactive product… Oh well…
The Sneakoscope is a piece of crap! It’s basically a light up top and it didn’t work. Plus, it has metal on the bottom of it and Ricky scraped up my wood floor. It’s getting returned!
You’re very lucky. Wish I could go.
Really cool stuff.
Could you upload here or send me more pictures of the Quibbler please?
Is that a complete magazine or only the cover?
Does the chocolate frog card have a descriptio of the wizard behind it?
I totally forgot to respond to you question about the Wizard Card that comes with the chocolate frog. Yes, it does have a description on the back telling about the wizards.
Wow, awesome selection of swag there guys!
I have a couple of questions, I wonder if you could answer?:
1) What exactly do the Quibbler Spectaspecs do?
2) Did you happen to come across the price of house scarves?
3) So personal wands are $28.95?
4) Can you get an annual pass discount on all this great stuff?
Thanks very much in advance 😀 Keep up the great work with the podcast the site and everything else 🙂

I’ve been looking at the pictures, and to me, it looks like the spectrespecs are just 3D glasses that allow you to read the “magical” edition of the quibbler… And personal wand prices range from 25-30 dollars… And I don’t think they give you a discount on merchandise for the annual pass, although you’d have to check with a Universal rep or someone like that…
Do you know what the deal with Ollivanders is? If you aren’t one of the lucky chosen ones to get to try out a wand during the show, is there any way to match up with “your” wand? Or is it simply a case of browsing through shelves of wands and just choosing one randomly?
The do have a section of wands that are Ollivander’s wands and are specific to your birthday. A “wizard” stands by those wands and they’ll ask you your birthday and give you the wand that is for you 🙂
I saw Emma Watson wearing a house sweater in the promotional video that is now on the park website. Do y’all know how much those sweaters are? Thank you!
I honestly didn’t look at the price of the sweaters. I don’t wear sweaters since it never really gets cold enough here. However, the shirts are at least $25 and I got one shirt that was nearly $40 so I would say definitely no cheaper than that. Sorry I can’t be more help. If I run across them when I go back on Monday I’ll try and check.
Thank you! I would really appreciate it. We’re going in a couple weeks and I’m trying to budget for myself and give my friends an idea of how much they need to give me for stuff they want.
Oh my God, I need that Fawkes plush right now. Wonder if I can find someone to do a shopping service for me, since I won’t be able to visit the park for YEARS…
Man, if anyone could ever do a SS for me, shoot me an email at jefford2@uwm.edu.
Can’t do a SS (shopping Service) for you…we live way u pin MAine. too far away, but you might want to call Universal orlando Resort and ask if they have catalogues, or might be coming out with in the future, so you can order some of the park merchandise.
A few years ago we did that at Sea World, and WE ENDED UP ORDERING SOME pretty nice books from the Educational Department ABOUT ALL THE AQUATIC LIFE.
Hope that helps! One can only carry so much “home” on an airplane!
I did ask if there was going to be any way people could purchase the stuff outside of the parks (catalog) and they said no because it’s Wizarding World of Harry Potter exclusive.
What a shame. A few items have popped up on eBay at ridiculous prices. I don’t know if maybe they’re special promo items, but the Olivanders wand is over $70, as is a pack of 4 iron on patches! Over $70! REALLY?! Give me a break. Guess I’ll have to hunt for a shopping service. They’re so popular for Disneyworld…hopefully I’ll find one for Universal.
Yeah! You have to watch them (Ebay, I mean). Sometimes the people selling on there are reasonable, but other times they are downright greedy. CHeck Amazon too, WB shops, Alivan’s and Mystic Unicorn on line in case you miss something while at Wizarding World on an annual vacation.
Thanks for putting the Wizarding World merchandise in pictures for us all to see, and providing us with a price list too.
We’ve already “made our Wizarding World shopping list” for our July visit…trying to select that which we could carry back to Maine on the ariplane. Guess the rule will be “pack little so we can bring back some”!
Our son , the ship engineer flew home to Maine in the middle of the winter with a practically empty bag, so he could bring his X-mas gifts on the plane back to the ship, and WORE 5 of the shirts aboard the plane so his luggage wouldn’t be “too heavy” or bulky. (nothing like dressing in “layers” during January in Maine!”)
Maybe we weho visit the Wizarding World in the future will have to think up some type of strategy similar to that! After all, there’s only so much you can carry or check in on an airplane!
By the way, are the souvenir Butter Beer mugs glass or heavy plastic?
Thanks again for all the time you both have put into your reports!! We look forward to more to come!
The butterbeer mugs are heavy plastic. I need to ask them if they’re dishwasher safe since we can take them into the parks and get them refilled at a cheaper price.
One strategy I would recommend is shipping some of the stuff home. There will be a lot of things that you’ll want that are not fragile so you can just mail them home. That’s what I’d do 🙂
hello i will be traveling on july 13th and the 14th. I like the idea of the birthday wand. do you think if i spend time in this park one day from 9am until 8pm (they close at that time i think) will be enough for all the rides, the castle, all the stores ect?.. i really plan to buy all on your list and maybe more, around 3000 dls in merchandise, i am crazy, but i love hp. If i have time i will really love to come back next day and be at seuss, and marvel land doing some rides and shopes and in the afternoon (4pm) comeback to the harry potter land. The next 2 days i will be at disney shooping but i really want to experience first the potter magic. SO do you think with 3000 dls will be enough for 2 days at potter land?
how much is the voldemort doll?
and the shirt of azkaban how much?
will they allow everybody to take pics and video inside the stores?
i love you videos and will love a answer to all my question please….
I don’t know how much exactly the Voldermort doll is but the other dolls/plushes are $25-$30 so I’d say probably around that price. The shirts are $20-$30 unless it’s something really fancy like my sequins shirt. And yes, anyone can take videos/pictures. $3000 should be enough. The brooms are around $300, and I think there was one that was even more than that. And they have a Lucious Malfoy Walking stick for $100. A lot of stuff sold out so make sure you get there early in the day and then have them send all of your stuff to your hotel if you’re staying on property. That stuff gets heavy really fast 🙂
They contacted me first. They messaged me on Twitter after they saw that we had been inside the Wizarding World. They asked if they could talk to me about the experience. Upon arriving to my house, they saw all of the Potter merchandise we had purchased and decided to incorporate it into their piece.
One more question, if I may. Do you guys normally spend $500+ on merchandise when you’re at theme parks, or was this a special occasion? Most people are happy to leave with just one or two $20 items. But you two literally bought the whole shop!
I’m pretty sure they don’t do this at every park. Who would? I’m thinking they are just huge fans and planned to spend a lot of money on something they love. Just as I will.
People can buy whatever they want. Personally, I have spent thousands on merchandise for my favorite band. It’s the same thing here. I’m pretty sure they are HUGE Harry Potter fans.
I asked them again about the Time Turners. The one displayed in the window was the one actually worn by Emma Watson in the movie. They told me that they have no plans on getting time turners in 🙁
Hello!
I am going to be visiting the park in lat July.
My favorite has always been Fawkes and Buckbeak…did the plushies look
of good quality?
Out of all that you bought, what was the best of quality and worth the money?
Hi, could you show the pictures of the birthday wands? If not all what so the March wands look like?
Are the chocolate frogs worth it?
Also are there ravenclaw key neck thing?
Lastly are there ravenclaw caps?
Thanks! I love these photos thanks so much!
I wanted to get you a picture of all of the birthday wands but it was impossible to take the pictures in that store. It is so crowded. I can’t even describe how tight of a fit it is in that store. If, and that’s a big if, it ever calms down in that store I’ll try and get you pictures.
The chocolate frogs seem cool as a collectible. It’s solid chocolate and I could never imagine myself eating that entire thing. It’s pretty large. I bought 4 in the hopes of getting all 4 collector’s cards and I got one of each on my first attempt. I guess I’m pretty lucky 🙂
I didn’t see Ravenclaw caps. There was very little merchandise for the other schools. I did see some shirts, robes, scarves, ties, pins, lanyards, mugs, wax seals, journals, banners, magnets, and maybe one or two other small items for the individual houses.
December 24 – January 20 = Birch (Beth)
January 21 – February 17 = Rowan (Luis)
February 18 – March 17 = Ash (Nion)
March 18 – April 14 = Alder (Fearn)
April 15 – May 12 = Willow (Saille)
May 13 – June 9 = Hawthorn (Huath)
June 10 – July 7 = Oak (Duir)
July 8 – August 4 = Holly (Tinne)
August 5 – September 1 = Hazel (Coll)
September 2 – September 29 = Vine (Muin)
September 30 – October 27 = Ivy (Gort)
October 28 – November 24 = Reed (Ngetal)
November 25 – December 23 = Elder (Ruis)
Thanks for the detailed pricing list! I’m already planning for the Grand Opening 😉 I know I want a Pigmy Puff…I heard they were around $13. Is this true?
Also, I saw some photos of a jersey-style Gryffindor t-shirt…these look really cool, but I’d prefer a Ravenclaw one. Did you happen to see if they have them, or what the price was?
Thanks again!
Yes, the Pygmy Puffs are around $12-13. I’m not sure about the shirt. It’s really hard to walk around many of the stores and actually look at the merchandise. It’s so cramped and it’s only going to get worse.
Thank you for the quick reply. I completely understand, and I shudder at the thought…I can get claustrophobic, but Lord knows being a die-hard Potter fan wins over claustrophobia any day.
Thanks so much for posting all of this information about the theme park! A am going for opening day, and have been living for June 18th for months 🙂 Was the golden snitch in your picture the remote controlled one? If so, does it actually fly?
Thanks
I did contact Universal customer service and they said once the park is officially opened they will be posting HP items for sale. They also have a phone number you can call to see if certain things are available (once they start selling that is). Here’s the link to their online store, but don’t look for the HP stuff until after June 18th.(Not sure how soon after though)
Glad to make your day Holly. The guy I talked to didn’t seem to know, so it may be an on going thing with stuff being added at different times. I had talked to them a few months ago and they said you could call the customer service number at the top of the page and tell them what you’re looking for so maybe they’ll be able to get it even if it hasn’t been listed online…I’m keeping my fingers crossed 😉
P.S. I just checked the FAQ (it’s on the left hand side near the bottom) at their store link and it does say if you don’t see something you’re interested in, to give them a call or email and they’ll see what they can do to help you.
Он подошел, сильно припадая на правую ногу, лицо изможденное, перекосился. Она взмахнула свободной рукой, в кулаке амулет, пробормотала несколько слов, и в двух шагах возникла каменная стена, неотличимая от соседних. Там затрещало, ветви прогнулись, затрепетали, на землю грохнулось нечто тяжелое. Заросли расступились, я почти на галопе выметнулся на широкую поляну. Почему я тебя тогда не встретила? Помните, он гарпий душил, как хорь душит кур? В лицо бьет тугой морозный ветер, снежный вихрь крутит хвостом, как огромный ликующий пес, далеко за спиной. Сын мой, это не оправдывание. У альбигойцев более серьезные идеи насчет политического курса страны. Обет во имя дамы? Я взмахом руки отправлял всех за стол, лавок много, поместятся, оруженосцы привычно начали втаскивать в шатер жареную птицу, мясо, а вина вкатили целый бочонок. Она развела руками, улыбка стала напряженной. Элизабет взглянула на него обеспокоенно, когда он гордо выпятил грудь и окинул меня надменным взглядом. Наши кони ступают беззвучно, копыта проваливаются в мох, как в мелкое болото. Саксон постоянно нужен в замке! В любом случае располагайте мной и дальше, ваше величество. А что непонятное, сами у меня оставляют. Но разве нам не она нужна? После чего меня бы его слуги зарезали, как барана. Мне почемуто показалась, что такая красота не должна никому служить.
О, горе, я сам, оказывается, выдал нашу тщательно охраняемую тайну! Я не гожусь в миротворцы. Конь поднял красивую мускулистую шею, багровые глаза разгорелись ярче, стали алыми.

i have been watching a video about the birthday wands, and some of them are really ugly! are there more than one for each month, and can you get a diffrent month one if you prefer it?
i really want mine to be dragon heart string! 😉
And there is only one for each month. When you get the wand it doesn’t actually say what the birthday is on the box or anything. So you could just really get any one and say it was for your birthday. No One would actually know.
MICHELLE thak you for your complete answer. i am really exited to be there on the 13th of july. i have a question—-i am interested in buying a lot of the articles bt as you said, mybe they are going to sold out that particular day very earlier. so, what will be better…i will be at the park around 8am, probably at the entrance at 8:30am. do i try to go first to the fourbidden journey? or do i try to go first to all the stores and buy everything i want? what will be your recommendation?.
i am thinking that buying all that stuff early morning will be a pain cause i will be at the park all day, until night…but i really want to have everything…..
next day i will be at universal park, do you onsider it will be beter to go the the potter land on the 14th first and buy what i did not get on the 13th?, and then go to the universal park ad finish my day there?
believe me your advice will be really powerful…its my headcache, this days….
It’s hard to predict which items will be available on which days. We found a few items to be sold out this weekend but I’m sure they’ll be back in stock soon. Universal is likely still figuring out which items are the most popular and which aren’t selling well and should adjust their stock accordingly. I predict the lines for Forbidden Journey will be VERY long all day, every day this summer. So I’d go for that ride first and then do your shopping later. You can have your merchandise sent to the front of the park for you to pick up later on your way out. Or, if you’re staying at a Universal hotel, I believe you can have it sent back to your room.
I’ve gone back 3 times to get the Maurder’s Map and it’s been sold out all 3 times. I didn’t get it on the first day because it won’t fit into the lockers. You can always get the merchandise and have them send it to the front of the park or your hotel. But, I would go to the ride first. the line is going to be crazy long!
hey, im going late june and i have a few friends to buy souvenirs for. Are there a few things that are aroumd $5? like keychains, bookmarks, candy, ect? and how much are those drinks with the punpkin on the top? (im guessing its pumpking juice but im not 100% sure)
Yes there are keychains, bookmarks, and all of that sort of thing. You can definitely find some items for around $5 each. The Pumpkin Juice drinks are $4-5 and are VERY good.
There is one small area in the middle of the Owl Post where you can get the special Wizarding World postmark. Then you have to put a normal amount of postage on it. There are Wizarding World stamps available, though they are currently sold out. But I’m sure they’ll get more in soon.
Hey there, I’m going to the park for it’s official opening. The wands they sell, do they have the wands from all characters available? Are they of good quality?
And do they have any Dobby stuffed animals or anything there of him at all?
The wands….let me see if I remember them all…there were 12 character wands:
Harry Potter
Ron Weasley
Hermione Granger
Ginny Weasley
Neville Longbottom
Draco Malfoy
Voldemort
Professor McGonegall
Professor Dumbledor
Professor Snape
Professor Lupin
and one more….Ricky is going to try and find it on his video.
Hi, I would first like to thank you for informing all of us about this! Second, I was just wondering if you happened to catch the price of the HP chess set they are apparently selling. Oh, and thanks for informing me about the sneakoscope. It was something I was looking forward to getting, but after reading your review, I think I’ll save my $15 for something else.
I’m not sure if you know the prices for any of these, but if you happen to know (so I can stop guestimating) that would be great:
Bludger (and beaters bat)
Mauraders Map
Monster Book of Monsters
Fanged Frisbee
Thanks again! I’ll be there July 14-20th, so I’m very excited, and am VERY strict on budget, so if you know, that would be great!
One Chess set was $300 and the other was $400
Maurader’s Map $65 and was sold out 2 of the 3 times I was there
There was no monster book of monsters. I asked and they said that they were out of them.
No idea on the fanged frisbee or bludger set.
Hi i’m going in October and I have a few Questions for ya
1. In Olivanders I saw ur video of the interactive choosing of the wand. Lots of people got in the shop then he chose one person they did their thing and everyone left afterwards so does this mean its a show rather than an attraction or is their a queue for choosing your wand.
2.Did they sell the marauders map and if so what special qualities did it have I’m a bit disapointed about the sneakescope 🙁 but ah well
3. What will the queues be like i heard they are going to be really it in summer but will it have died down by october also could you buy any books like a history of magic or (one i’ve always wanted do they have Hogwarts a history)
1. There is a line outside Ollvander’s. Around 20-25 people are let in at a time and out of that group, 1 is “chosen” to participate. Everyone else watches and then after the brief show ends, everyone moves into the shop next door.
2. Yes, but the map was sold out after the first day. It doesn’t “do” anything.
3. It is going to be very crowded there for quite a while. I didn’t see any Hogwarts history books.
4. Birthday wands cost a few dollars more and are slightly longer and more ornate.
As someone who lives in Florida, I can safely say it’s going to be packed no matter what time of year you go. October isn’t usually as big a tourist month (it will certainly be better than July) but you should still expect long lines and a crowded atmosphere. Islands of Adventure is always a busy park even without the Harry Potter section opening, your best luck is to go to the park right when it opens and get on all the rides early, the lines should only get bigger while the day goes on.
Hi Michelle and Ricky! Thanks to both of you again for your superb job! As a shopaholic and true HP fan I loved every piece of merchandise you bought but especially the seals and your sequin shirt! Are there any action figures?
No action figures. In fact, there are almost no products anywhere that have specific characters on it. The goal in the merchandise is to feel authentic… like you’re buying real student clothing at Hogwarts, real candy at Honeydukes, and real jokes and tricks at Zonko’s. Very few items are typical theme park-style products. The idea is that you are actually in the Wizarding World. Shops in Hogsmeade Village wouldn’t sell shirts with Harry Potter’s face on it, so Islands of Adventure doesn’t either.
Actually… yes! In both the boys and girls restrooms. Here’s a video of Moaning Myrtle in the Wizarding World bathrooms (nothing inappropriate is shown): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TJyKvR0dZ0s
Are there any of the books out like the history of magic or secrets of darkestart or The life and lies of Albus Dumbledore? Also is there a Honeyduke bag and Exploding bon bon, Fizzing Whizbees, Pepper Imps, Ton-Tongue Toffee, Drooble’s Best Blowing Gum?
There is a honeyduke’s bag that you can put candy into and you have to weigh it to purchase it. I do remember seeing Pepper Imps. They were little red candies. I don’t remember seeing the others though. However, I didn’t look that hard because the shop was so crowded.
Did you happen to see a “Remembr’all” in your journeys around the shops? I always said we would get one. I “forget” stuff alot and it’s kind of a joke between my hubby and I that “we should have one” . How big are the remembr’alls and do you recall their prices??
Love the new pictures. Does the Sirius Black picture frame come with the option of switching out the pictures? I wouldn’t want to; I’m just curious. Also, does it move/is it a hologram? I’m thinking about getting it since I need something to decorate my bedroom with, haha.
Thanks again for the great pictures.
Is the Hedwig pillow soft or more velvet feeling? It would match my room perfectly and I was wondering about the texture since velvet materials are hard for me to touch.
Well, first thing I wanna do is congratulate and thank everyone at INSIDE THE MAGIC for the absolute finest coverage of the Wizarding World of Harry Potter to be found anywhere on the internet! It was an absolute joy to review both your articles and especially your videos and I sure hope you plan to add even more in the not too distant future. What a celebration! Thank you. Your coverage of the stuff available is truly outstanding and exceeds any other coverage by far! Adios for now. Talk to ya on down the trail. Wild Ol’ Dan
Thanks! Unfortunately it appears that I won’t have the opportunity to attend tomorrow night’s celebrity event, but I plan on virtually attending via their live online stream – better than nothing I suppose! 🙂 But I will be continuing our Wizarding World coverage on Friday morning when it grand opens to the public. Should be madness – and a great time!
I’m afraid the current wands that are available will interact with nothing outside of our imaginations. I own Harry, Ron, Hermione, and Dumbledore’s wands…and, I do own another of Harry’s wands that will indeed light up with just a wave of the wrist and, well, I always like to say LUMOS when I do…and NOX when I do it again to turn off the light.
If, in the future, Universal develops a wand that does interact with things in the park…it will be a special wand…not the collectors wands now available at Ollivanders.
Adios for now. Talk to ya on down the trail.
Are there baskets available in the shops as I cannot see any in the vidoes or photos? If not that is going to be a problem based on the amount of merchandise I want to buy when I am there in October.
Also, could you please post a picture of the souveneir ticket you received with your package? Thanks.
Hey! I really appreciate all of the exclusive photos and videos. I read on several websites that Filch’s Emporium of Confiscated Goods has remote control Golden Snitches for sale. Is this true? If you saw them, how much were they?
Okay, I’m going crazy, I remember someone asking about buying the ‘Monster book of monsters’ and where it can be bought and I can’t remember where (if it was here or at another forum) I saw it. They have it for sale at Amazon in case that person was from here cause I don’t know if the WW will be selling it.
So many questions, where to start.. Well I’ll be there from july 24th to the 28th armed with 3 day park to park passes. The first day i want to dedicate to the HP area.
-What would you recommend doing first? Shopping or Forbidden Journey?
-Do the souvenirs come with bags? Or should I bring one to carry the items?
-Do wands sell out fast? (its the main item i want to get)
-And do they have school robes?
-One more! How long are line estimates around the time of end of july?
Shopping can wait until later in the day. The Ollivander’s experience will have a line all day long, with it being shorter at the end of the day. But you don’t have to go through that to buy a wand. In fact, Universal has set up a magic wand cart outside the Forbidden Journey attraction as well.
You’ll get a sturdy plastic bag with a handle with every purchase.
The wands will not likely sell out. It seems like they have enough to go around.
They do have school robes.
Line estimates are quite unknown at this point. But given that it’s the busy summer season PLUS the Wizarding World being new, I’d imagine lines throughout the park will be fairly long. Lines are always shorter at the end of the day.
Hi im just back from Orlando and went to WWoHP about 5 times when i was there. We went for 9am on our first day and didnt queue for more than 20 mins to get into park. Forbidden jourey wait times seemed no longer than 45 mins every time i went. Dont buy chocolate frogs too early as they will be melted by the time you leave. A lot of the merchandise can be bought at the Universal Gift shop in CityWalk. I bought chocolate presents in here on my way home so they stayed solid. Evening time is a great time to go as its cooling down and it quietens down because people that were there early have got tired and left. On my last visit they had sold out of the butterbeer cups and were using just regular plastic cups with butterbeer wrote on the side. Olivanders has a queue permanently and it gets very warm when queing during the day. Have fun its amazing
Go to wand shop first-40 min wait…then forbidden journey then 3 broom sticks then shop…honeydukes is cool zonko? is ok. Butter beer frozen and non frozen are amazing…mixing them is the best.
@Katie R: lot of people from what I here head to the Forbidden Journey first. However if you are hoping to get your hands on a Chocolate Frog your going to what to get there early to get it that is the hottest idem right know
As far as the bags they have the poster they used to promote the park. I don’t know if they have any other kinds of bags
They have lots of wands they have 13 different Birthday wands and then wands film the film. the store is very small and can only hole around 25 to 30 people at a time. So they should have wands with out selling out
Yes they have school robes from each all 4 houses from what I hear and there around a $100 each
Will I do know opening day was and 8 hours wait to get in then by about 2 o clock in the after noon the Forbidden Journey ride was about 45 minutes the same day. If you are going out between July 13-17 do know the LeakyCon is going to be there. Over all I would guess about half the time it was for opening day but can for sure
I will be going in July. Thank you for posting all this info. I know that there is lots of merch you can purchase at the WB shop online and the Noble Collection catalog. Plus I live by a FAO Schwartz store which carries the map for $35, so if it’s not on sale on the WB site, I can always get it there.
I’m going to be careful w/my spending and buy things I can ONLY get at the park. Thanks again. 🙂
The last time I was there, there was no line for Honeydukes or Zonko’s. Ollivander’s looked to be around 45-60 minutes. Dervish & Banges / Owl Post (which is where Ollivander’s exits into) was likely around 30 minutes. There’s never a line to enter Filch’s Emporium, as it’s the exit for Forbidden Journey.
The Forbidden Journey queue is much more enjoyable than waiting outside to get into a shop. I’d recommend visiting Ollivander’s first thing in the morning, browsing through the Owl Post and Dervish & Banges afterward, and then hitting Forbidden Journey.
Hi, I just wondered, that Golden snitch, does it come off the black stand? I’m dying to get one, the one you have is pretty much what I’m looking for, but I want to be able to take it off the stand.
This might look like spam, but I just found your reply on this website. I know it’s been a while since you’ve asked this, but I think I have the golden snitch you’ve been looking for. At this moment I sell an exclusive gold plated and sterling silver golden snitch. It is no merchandise and only a few of these are made. It comes with an official certificate of authenticity and a wooden gift box. And you can take the snitch of the stand!
Please take a look at my advertisement on eBay, and I hope you are not offended with my message. Best regards, Dennis
Hi. This site is awesome! I can’t wait to go to the Wizarding World of Harry Potter during Christmas time. By any chance, do you know what colours the Pygmy Puff’s come in, other than pink? Thanks.
Hi!
I know the wizarding world is open for quite some time now, but i live in Europe so it’s not quite easy for me to go. I had a question, do they sell prefect badges for hufflepuff/ravenclaw houses too?
No, they don’t 🙁 I came home from WWoHP yesterday and they only have them i Slytherin och Gryffindor. It really sucks… I’m a Ravenclaw but apparently no one really cares about the Ravs and the Puffs 🙁
That’s not true at all. They have Ravenclaw and Hufflepuff things for almost ever single thing as they do Slytherin and Gryffindor. The only thing I saw there that they didn’t have for Ravenclaw and Hufflepuff were blankets. They have the badges, not to worry! I’m in ravenclaw too, and I got tons of things for my house. People really do care about the ‘ravs’ and the ‘puffs’, RAVENCLAW IS THE BEST HOUSE!
I have been researching on the internet and the forums and I wanted to know if they actually sell the Quidditch robes inside the park? I have a friend who would love to get one….
I want absolutely everything! The pygmy puff made me laugh. It’s so cute! And the luggage stationary set? Too cool! I am waiting impatiently for the California park to open…

You wouldn’t happen to still have those pins would you? I’ve been looking for the Death Eater Mask and the Sliding Buckbeak pins everywhere and can’t seem to find them! I’d be willing to buy or trade for them!
Comments for Wizarding World Of Harry Potter Offers Exclusive And Unique Merchandise
Pam wood
You guys got some really cool stuff. I’ve had chocolate frogs before, but they weren’t packaged like those, and the cards inside were different. I have my eye on the stuffed Fawkes. I must have that!
Ricky Brigante
These cards are special as well, as they feature the founders of the four Hogwarts houses. These characters are new to the Wizarding World.
Gem
Thank you so much for the pictures and videos you’ve so kindly posted. Could you possibly provide a price list for the items you purchased? We are going soon, my son is a HP fantatic and I would like to know how much all this merch is going to cost us.

Alan
Is that a listing of all the items they sell, or all the items you bought?
Carla
That’s just what they bought yesterday. 🙂 There is a LOT more stuff available!
Michelle Moss
Yes, that’s what we bought the first day. I got a couple of more items. And those are the regular prices so no I didn’t mark them up any 🙂
Michelle Moss
The wands went up in price. They were $24.95 for the character wands and now they’re $28.95!
Ann
Thanks for all the awesome info! What are the wands made of ? are they wooden, metal,or plastic? If they’re plastic I don’t think I want to spend thirty dollars on them so I hope they’re not :/
Ricky Brigante
They’re definitely not plastic. They appear to be metal at their core with additional resin features for the detailing. They’re clearly painted as well. The wands are very strong and don’t feel cheap.
Ann
Okay thank you so much 🙂
Gem
Thank you so much. I best get saving! haha
Jake AU
Fantastic Merch! Eyes on the sneakoscope :P. What does it do , out of interest?
Michelle Moss
It’s basically a top with lights. I returned it. It was dumb and it scratched up my wood floor!
Frog
That is probably, so far, my only complaint… Of course I haven’t gone yet, but I am going to say that they could have made the sneakoscope a much funner interactive product… Oh well…
Marisa
Could you post a picture of the back of the cap? Otherwise, awesome pics and great update!
Michelle Moss
There is nothing on the back of the cap. It’s just red.
Michelle Moss
The Sneakoscope is a piece of crap! It’s basically a light up top and it didn’t work. Plus, it has metal on the bottom of it and Ricky scraped up my wood floor. It’s getting returned!
Frog
Aww.. I was looking forward to the sneakoscope… OH well, sometimes you get crudy items at theme parks…
Holly
Oh no, really? Would it at least make a nice display item? D:
Michelle Moss
It really isn’t anything special. You’re better off getting a golden snitch if you want to display something.
Ashley
are there olivander’s originals that you can purchase if you aren’t chosen to try them out in the store?
Ricky Brigante
Yes there are character wands and others as well.
Wesley
You’re very lucky. Wish I could go.
Really cool stuff.
Could you upload here or send me more pictures of the Quibbler please?
Is that a complete magazine or only the cover?
Does the chocolate frog card have a descriptio of the wizard behind it?
Michelle Moss
It was only the cover. You could remove the glasses though. I’m wondering if they’ll actually sell a quibbler. Who knows 🙂
Michelle Moss
I totally forgot to respond to you question about the Wizard Card that comes with the chocolate frog. Yes, it does have a description on the back telling about the wizards.
Andy Martin
Wow, awesome selection of swag there guys!
I have a couple of questions, I wonder if you could answer?:
1) What exactly do the Quibbler Spectaspecs do?
2) Did you happen to come across the price of house scarves?
3) So personal wands are $28.95?
4) Can you get an annual pass discount on all this great stuff?
Thanks very much in advance 😀 Keep up the great work with the podcast the site and everything else 🙂
Andy x
Frog
I’ve been looking at the pictures, and to me, it looks like the spectrespecs are just 3D glasses that allow you to read the “magical” edition of the quibbler… And personal wand prices range from 25-30 dollars… And I don’t think they give you a discount on merchandise for the annual pass, although you’d have to check with a Universal rep or someone like that…
Andy Martin
Thanks for the response 🙂
Do you know what the deal with Ollivanders is? If you aren’t one of the lucky chosen ones to get to try out a wand during the show, is there any way to match up with “your” wand? Or is it simply a case of browsing through shelves of wands and just choosing one randomly?
Michelle Moss
The do have a section of wands that are Ollivander’s wands and are specific to your birthday. A “wizard” stands by those wands and they’ll ask you your birthday and give you the wand that is for you 🙂
Michelle Moss
You don’t get an annual pass discount on HP merchandise but you do get 10% off if you have a AAA card.
Chris
re: AAA Discount: Are you sure because thats awesome. So you can show your AAA card in all the shops to get a 10% discount??
Ricky Brigante
Yes, you definitely get a 10% discount for showing your AAA card.
Michelle Moss
1. I’m not sure what the Quibbler Spectraspecs do because I didn’t really examine it thoroughly yet. And I’m not going to open it.
2. They had all of the house scarves for sale.
3. Yes, the wands are about $30, tax of course.
4. No, you do not get an annual pass discount on Harry Potter merchandise, but you do get 10% off everything if you have a AAA membership.
McKenna
I saw Emma Watson wearing a house sweater in the promotional video that is now on the park website. Do y’all know how much those sweaters are? Thank you!
Michelle Moss
I honestly didn’t look at the price of the sweaters. I don’t wear sweaters since it never really gets cold enough here. However, the shirts are at least $25 and I got one shirt that was nearly $40 so I would say definitely no cheaper than that. Sorry I can’t be more help. If I run across them when I go back on Monday I’ll try and check.
McKenna
Thank you! I would really appreciate it. We’re going in a couple weeks and I’m trying to budget for myself and give my friends an idea of how much they need to give me for stuff they want.
Michelle Moss
I looked at the sweaters for you. They are girl sizes only. I can only imagine that she had on an XL. They were about $45.
McKenna
Thank you!
Holly
Oh my God, I need that Fawkes plush right now. Wonder if I can find someone to do a shopping service for me, since I won’t be able to visit the park for YEARS…
Man, if anyone could ever do a SS for me, shoot me an email at jefford2@uwm.edu.
Glenda & Conrad
Holly,
Can’t do a SS (shopping Service) for you…we live way u pin MAine. too far away, but you might want to call Universal orlando Resort and ask if they have catalogues, or might be coming out with in the future, so you can order some of the park merchandise.
A few years ago we did that at Sea World, and WE ENDED UP ORDERING SOME pretty nice books from the Educational Department ABOUT ALL THE AQUATIC LIFE.
Hope that helps! One can only carry so much “home” on an airplane!
Michelle Moss
I did ask if there was going to be any way people could purchase the stuff outside of the parks (catalog) and they said no because it’s Wizarding World of Harry Potter exclusive.
Holly
What a shame. A few items have popped up on eBay at ridiculous prices. I don’t know if maybe they’re special promo items, but the Olivanders wand is over $70, as is a pack of 4 iron on patches! Over $70! REALLY?! Give me a break. Guess I’ll have to hunt for a shopping service. They’re so popular for Disneyworld…hopefully I’ll find one for Universal.
Glenda & Conrad
Yeah! You have to watch them (Ebay, I mean). Sometimes the people selling on there are reasonable, but other times they are downright greedy. CHeck Amazon too, WB shops, Alivan’s and Mystic Unicorn on line in case you miss something while at Wizarding World on an annual vacation.
Michael
If you know anyone flying in or out of Orlando International Airport (MCO), both Universal Stores have the Fawkes plush!
Holly
Oh, I wish I did! ;_; Sadly I have no friends who live near Universal.
Glenda & Conrad
To “Mrs Ricky Brigante” (Michelle),
Thanks for putting the Wizarding World merchandise in pictures for us all to see, and providing us with a price list too.
We’ve already “made our Wizarding World shopping list” for our July visit…trying to select that which we could carry back to Maine on the ariplane. Guess the rule will be “pack little so we can bring back some”!
Our son , the ship engineer flew home to Maine in the middle of the winter with a practically empty bag, so he could bring his X-mas gifts on the plane back to the ship, and WORE 5 of the shirts aboard the plane so his luggage wouldn’t be “too heavy” or bulky. (nothing like dressing in “layers” during January in Maine!”)
Maybe we weho visit the Wizarding World in the future will have to think up some type of strategy similar to that! After all, there’s only so much you can carry or check in on an airplane!
By the way, are the souvenir Butter Beer mugs glass or heavy plastic?
Thanks again for all the time you both have put into your reports!! We look forward to more to come!
Glenda
Michelle Moss
The butterbeer mugs are heavy plastic. I need to ask them if they’re dishwasher safe since we can take them into the parks and get them refilled at a cheaper price.
One strategy I would recommend is shipping some of the stuff home. There will be a lot of things that you’ll want that are not fragile so you can just mail them home. That’s what I’d do 🙂
Michelle Moss
They’re not dishwasher safe. It did say it on the mug in tiny letters 🙁
Elizabeth
I’m curious as to if they will be selling Harry Potter wristwatches. Any idea?
Thanks!
Michelle Moss
There were no watches or jewelry of any sort there. That’s not to say that they won’t have any in the future.
Andrew
Did you happen to see the prices on robes?
Michelle Moss
The robes are about $100 each.
rodrigo
hello i will be traveling on july 13th and the 14th. I like the idea of the birthday wand. do you think if i spend time in this park one day from 9am until 8pm (they close at that time i think) will be enough for all the rides, the castle, all the stores ect?.. i really plan to buy all on your list and maybe more, around 3000 dls in merchandise, i am crazy, but i love hp. If i have time i will really love to come back next day and be at seuss, and marvel land doing some rides and shopes and in the afternoon (4pm) comeback to the harry potter land. The next 2 days i will be at disney shooping but i really want to experience first the potter magic. SO do you think with 3000 dls will be enough for 2 days at potter land?
how much is the voldemort doll?
and the shirt of azkaban how much?
will they allow everybody to take pics and video inside the stores?
i love you videos and will love a answer to all my question please….
rodrigo gutierrez
Michelle Moss
I don’t know how much exactly the Voldermort doll is but the other dolls/plushes are $25-$30 so I’d say probably around that price. The shirts are $20-$30 unless it’s something really fancy like my sequins shirt. And yes, anyone can take videos/pictures. $3000 should be enough. The brooms are around $300, and I think there was one that was even more than that. And they have a Lucious Malfoy Walking stick for $100. A lot of stuff sold out so make sure you get there early in the day and then have them send all of your stuff to your hotel if you’re staying on property. That stuff gets heavy really fast 🙂
Michelle Moss
The Voldemort doll was in fact $25.
Andrew
One other question. Are the character wands you bought supplied from Noble Collection?
Michelle Moss
I don’t know what you mean by Noble Collection. It didn’t say Noble Collection anywhere on the box.
Frog
Yes, I read in an article that the character wands from the Noble Collection are there too…
James
Did you buy all of that merchandise and then call up Central Florida News 13, hoping that they would come over and do an interview with you?
Or did you buy all of that merchandise, which Central Florida News 13 then saw online, and they invited themselves over to do an interview?
Ricky Brigante
They contacted me first. They messaged me on Twitter after they saw that we had been inside the Wizarding World. They asked if they could talk to me about the experience. Upon arriving to my house, they saw all of the Potter merchandise we had purchased and decided to incorporate it into their piece.
James
Ok, thanks for answering.
One more question, if I may. Do you guys normally spend $500+ on merchandise when you’re at theme parks, or was this a special occasion? Most people are happy to leave with just one or two $20 items. But you two literally bought the whole shop!
Andrew
I’m pretty sure they don’t do this at every park. Who would? I’m thinking they are just huge fans and planned to spend a lot of money on something they love. Just as I will.
Holly
Er…why do you feel you need info on their buying habits? Your question kind of comes off as rude. Who cares what “most people” do?
Jackie
People can buy whatever they want. Personally, I have spent thousands on merchandise for my favorite band. It’s the same thing here. I’m pretty sure they are HUGE Harry Potter fans.
Amanda
Hi there 🙂
My sis is going up to see The Wizarding World of Harry Potter the first weekend it pens and asked me about souvenirs I’d like.
The only souvenir i really would want would be a Time Turner.
Did you happen to see one? if so, what price?
Michelle Moss
They do not have the time turners 🙁 They had one displayed as a prop but not for sale. I think they’ll have to get them in the future.
Michelle Moss
I asked them again about the Time Turners. The one displayed in the window was the one actually worn by Emma Watson in the movie. They told me that they have no plans on getting time turners in 🙁
Rina
Someone on Orlando United claimed to have seen three different versions of time turners…But who knows! Hope they get them in…they are so rad.
Shelby
Hello!
I am going to be visiting the park in lat July.
My favorite has always been Fawkes and Buckbeak…did the plushies look
of good quality?
Out of all that you bought, what was the best of quality and worth the money?
Thank you so much!
Michelle Moss
The plushes are very very good quality and extremely soft. You won’t be disappointed. I promise 😉
devon
what are those things in the 6th photo? under the gryffindor neck thing?
Michelle Moss
They are seals for each of the houses and sticks of wax with different colors for each of the houses.
Nathan
Hi, could you show the pictures of the birthday wands? If not all what so the March wands look like?
Are the chocolate frogs worth it?
Also are there ravenclaw key neck thing?
Lastly are there ravenclaw caps?
Thanks! I love these photos thanks so much!
Michelle Moss
I wanted to get you a picture of all of the birthday wands but it was impossible to take the pictures in that store. It is so crowded. I can’t even describe how tight of a fit it is in that store. If, and that’s a big if, it ever calms down in that store I’ll try and get you pictures.
The chocolate frogs seem cool as a collectible. It’s solid chocolate and I could never imagine myself eating that entire thing. It’s pretty large. I bought 4 in the hopes of getting all 4 collector’s cards and I got one of each on my first attempt. I guess I’m pretty lucky 🙂
I didn’t see Ravenclaw caps. There was very little merchandise for the other schools. I did see some shirts, robes, scarves, ties, pins, lanyards, mugs, wax seals, journals, banners, magnets, and maybe one or two other small items for the individual houses.
Tory
December 24 – January 20 = Birch (Beth)

November 25 – December 23 = Elder (Ruis)
All Birthday Wands. Cannot find pictures, sorry!
Rina
Thanks for the detailed pricing list! I’m already planning for the Grand Opening 😉 I know I want a Pigmy Puff…I heard they were around $13. Is this true?
Also, I saw some photos of a jersey-style Gryffindor t-shirt…these look really cool, but I’d prefer a Ravenclaw one. Did you happen to see if they have them, or what the price was?
Thanks again!
Ricky Brigante
Yes, the Pygmy Puffs are around $12-13. I’m not sure about the shirt. It’s really hard to walk around many of the stores and actually look at the merchandise. It’s so cramped and it’s only going to get worse.
Rina
Thank you for the quick reply. I completely understand, and I shudder at the thought…I can get claustrophobic, but Lord knows being a die-hard Potter fan wins over claustrophobia any day.
Michelle Moss
There was no Ravenclaw jersey. Most of the quidditch merchandise had 07 and in the colors of Gryffindor. I guess that’s Harry’s number?
Rina
Yep, it is 🙂 Thanks. I’ll probably pick it up anyways.
Angela
Thanks so much for posting all of this information about the theme park! A am going for opening day, and have been living for June 18th for months 🙂 Was the golden snitch in your picture the remote controlled one? If so, does it actually fly?
Thanks
Ricky Brigante
Unfortunately, the golden snitch does not actually fly. It flutters its wings… and that’s it.
Angela
Wow, I thought I heard an article saying it was remote controlled. That’s a disappointment! Thanks Ricky!
Cindy VanSchoyck
I did contact Universal customer service and they said once the park is officially opened they will be posting HP items for sale. They also have a phone number you can call to see if certain things are available (once they start selling that is). Here’s the link to their online store, but don’t look for the HP stuff until after June 18th.(Not sure how soon after though)
http://www.universalorlando.com/Merchandise/MerchandiseHome.aspx
Okay one quick question if you don’t mind…did you happen to see the Hogwarts Express 9 3/4 sign? I’ve been hunting everywhere for it.
Thanks for the awesome coverage.
Snitch
The 9 3/4 sign wouldnt be in Hogsmeade, it is at the train station in London!
Holly
CINDY I LOVE YOU!
Did they say how many items they would be posting? Is it just a few, or most of the stuff they sell at the park?
Cindy
Glad to make your day Holly. The guy I talked to didn’t seem to know, so it may be an on going thing with stuff being added at different times. I had talked to them a few months ago and they said you could call the customer service number at the top of the page and tell them what you’re looking for so maybe they’ll be able to get it even if it hasn’t been listed online…I’m keeping my fingers crossed 😉
Cindy
P.S. I just checked the FAQ (it’s on the left hand side near the bottom) at their store link and it does say if you don’t see something you’re interested in, to give them a call or email and they’ll see what they can do to help you.
Michelle Moss
They did have a shirt and a hat with 9 3/4 on it but I think that was it.
Cindy
Thanks Michelle. Guess I’ll have to keep looking.

Он подошел, сильно припадая на правую ногу, лицо изможденное, перекосился. Она взмахнула свободной рукой, в кулаке амулет, пробормотала несколько слов, и в двух шагах возникла каменная стена, неотличимая от соседних. Там затрещало, ветви прогнулись, затрепетали, на землю грохнулось нечто тяжелое. Заросли расступились, я почти на галопе выметнулся на широкую поляну. Почему я тебя тогда не встретила? Помните, он гарпий душил, как хорь душит кур? В лицо бьет тугой морозный ветер, снежный вихрь крутит хвостом, как огромный ликующий пес, далеко за спиной. Сын мой, это не оправдывание. У альбигойцев более серьезные идеи насчет политического курса страны. Обет во имя дамы? Я взмахом руки отправлял всех за стол, лавок много, поместятся, оруженосцы привычно начали втаскивать в шатер жареную птицу, мясо, а вина вкатили целый бочонок.

You can now get Wizarding World of Harry Potter merchandise at Orlando International Airport too:
http://www.insidethemagic.net/2010/05/wizarding-world-of-harry-potter-merchandise-now-available-at-orlando-international-airport/
Holly
Darn. Won’t be going there, either. XD
MM
just another Q, is butterbeer an alcoholic drink?
Andrew
No it is not.
devon
i have been watching a video about the birthday wands, and some of them are really ugly! are there more than one for each month, and can you get a diffrent month one if you prefer it?
i really want mine to be dragon heart string! 😉
Ricky Brigante
You can pick any wand from any shelf and buy it.
Michelle Moss
And there is only one for each month. When you get the wand it doesn’t actually say what the birthday is on the box or anything. So you could just really get any one and say it was for your birthday. No One would actually know.
rodrigo
MICHELLE thak you for your complete answer. i am really exited to be there on the 13th of july. i have a question—-i am interested in buying a lot of the articles bt as you said, mybe they are going to sold out that particular day very earlier. so, what will be better…i will be at the park around 8am, probably at the entrance at 8:30am. do i try to go first to the fourbidden journey? or do i try to go first to all the stores and buy everything i want? what will be your recommendation?.
i am thinking that buying all that stuff early morning will be a pain cause i will be at the park all day, until night…but i really want to have everything…..
next day i will be at universal park, do you onsider it will be beter to go the the potter land on the 14th first and buy what i did not get on the 13th?, and then go to the universal park ad finish my day there?
believe me your advice will be really powerful…its my headcache, this days….
rodrigo
sorry..also do they have like a basket in each store…to put the articles that you are getting…
Ricky Brigante
It’s hard to predict which items will be available on which days. We found a few items to be sold out this weekend but I’m sure they’ll be back in stock soon. Universal is likely still figuring out which items are the most popular and which aren’t selling well and should adjust their stock accordingly. I predict the lines for Forbidden Journey will be VERY long all day, every day this summer. So I’d go for that ride first and then do your shopping later. You can have your merchandise sent to the front of the park for you to pick up later on your way out. Or, if you’re staying at a Universal hotel, I believe you can have it sent back to your room.
Michelle Moss
I’ve gone back 3 times to get the Maurder’s Map and it’s been sold out all 3 times. I didn’t get it on the first day because it won’t fit into the lockers. You can always get the merchandise and have them send it to the front of the park or your hotel. But, I would go to the ride first. the line is going to be crazy long!
jessica r
hey, im going late june and i have a few friends to buy souvenirs for. Are there a few things that are aroumd $5? like keychains, bookmarks, candy, ect? and how much are those drinks with the punpkin on the top? (im guessing its pumpking juice but im not 100% sure)
Ricky Brigante
Yes there are keychains, bookmarks, and all of that sort of thing. You can definitely find some items for around $5 each. The Pumpkin Juice drinks are $4-5 and are VERY good.
Michelle Moss
And you have to keep the pumpkin juice cold so you couldn’t bring it back to your friends unless you had a cooler.
Jack
Thank you so much for this!
I’m going 16th June -> 30th June 🙂 I can’t see a price for the chocolate
Jack
Sorry half posted! *The chocolate frogs* my brother really wants one so I’d like to know how much I’ll need 🙂
Jack
And I have now just noticed the price… strange how I couldn’t see it before I posted!
Thanks again for releasing the pricing details – something which Universal still haven’t done 🙂 very helpful when planning your budget 🙂
Jack
justin
i’m going to the wizarding world early july and i have a shopping list already but i’d like to know a couple of things first
are the chocolate frogs solid chocolate?
how good is the butterbeer (i heard there’s a non alchol butterbeer)
and in one of your videos i saw an azkaban shirt that i want how much is that?
answering these would be a great help for my visit thanks ^_^
Ricky Brigante
The chocolate frogs are solid chocolate and each one comes with a collectible lenticular card featuring one of the four Hogwarts house founders.
Butterbeer is fantastic and is always non-alcoholic.
Most of the t-shirts are around $25.
Dominique
At the “Owl Post” Universal says that it’s a post office, does anyone know how much the cost is or if there is one, to send any mail through it?
Ricky Brigante
There is one small area in the middle of the Owl Post where you can get the special Wizarding World postmark. Then you have to put a normal amount of postage on it. There are Wizarding World stamps available, though they are currently sold out. But I’m sure they’ll get more in soon.
Jose
Can you please post up a video of the sneakascope and how it works. would really appreciate it.
Michelle Moss
The post cards and stamps were sold out yesterday. The Owl Post isn’t an actual post office. You couldn’t get a package sent from there or anything.
Frog
Dan Radcliffe said in a promotional video that the Owl Post was a working post office and that you could send mail through it… Hmmm…
Vicky
Hey there, I’m going to the park for it’s official opening. The wands they sell, do they have the wands from all characters available? Are they of good quality?
And do they have any Dobby stuffed animals or anything there of him at all?
Thanks for all your hard work!!
Michelle Moss
I saw one Dobby shirt and that was all for him.
The wands….let me see if I remember them all…there were 12 character wands:
Harry Potter
Ron Weasley
Hermione Granger
Ginny Weasley
Neville Longbottom
Draco Malfoy
Voldemort
Professor McGonegall
Professor Dumbledor
Professor Snape
Professor Lupin
and one more….Ricky is going to try and find it on his video.
Michelle Moss
and Sirius Black. Thanks Ricky 🙂
Veggie_Potter
Hi, I would first like to thank you for informing all of us about this! Second, I was just wondering if you happened to catch the price of the HP chess set they are apparently selling. Oh, and thanks for informing me about the sneakoscope. It was something I was looking forward to getting, but after reading your review, I think I’ll save my $15 for something else.
I’m not sure if you know the prices for any of these, but if you happen to know (so I can stop guestimating) that would be great:
Bludger (and beaters bat)
Mauraders Map
Monster Book of Monsters
Fanged Frisbee
Thanks again! I’ll be there July 14-20th, so I’m very excited, and am VERY strict on budget, so if you know, that would be great!
Michelle Moss
One Chess set was $300 and the other was $400
Maurader’s Map $65 and was sold out 2 of the 3 times I was there
There was no monster book of monsters. I asked and they said that they were out of them.
No idea on the fanged frisbee or bludger set.
Veggie_Potter
$300????!!!! That’s freaking outrageous. Oh my. This is very disappointing. I think I’ll go cry in a corner now. Thanks for letting me know.
Veggie_Potter
Do you know the price range of HP backpacks/purses?
Holly
WHAT?! Is it the Noble Collections maurader’s map? Because Noble sells it for only $35 online.
dwarfhampster
it’s on sale right now at the wb store b/c it’s Draco’s birthday. All HP stuff is 20% off. http://www.wbshop.com/Harry-Potter-Marauders-Map/HPNBMAPMA,default,pd.html?cgid=hp_official
Claire
Is the golden snitch metal?
Andrew
I’m pretty sure it’s plastic.
Michelle Moss
yes, it’s plastic.
Brian
Do you happen to know how much the Remembralls and Extendable Ears are?
Michelle Moss
There are no extendable ears for sale 🙁
Brian
=( Thanks for letting me know. Do you know how much the Remembralls are by any chance?
Ricky Brigante
I never looked at it but the Sneakoscope was about $15 to probably close to that price.
Jose
hey can you post up a video or photos of the sneakscope itslef and show what it does. thanks
Ricky Brigante
Sorry, we returned it. It wasn’t worth the money. All it does is spin and light up.
:( It's taking to long to go to harry potter
Hi i’m going in October and I have a few Questions for ya
1. In Olivanders I saw ur video of the interactive choosing of the wand. Lots of people got in the shop then he chose one person they did their thing and everyone left afterwards so does this mean its a show rather than an attraction or is their a queue for choosing your wand.
2.Did they sell the marauders map and if so what special qualities did it have I’m a bit disapointed about the sneakescope 🙁 but ah well
3. What will the queues be like i heard they are going to be really it in summer but will it have died down by october also could you buy any books like a history of magic or (one i’ve always wanted do they have Hogwarts a history)
:( It's taking to long to go to harry potter
and forgot to ask
4. what is the difference between birthday wands and normal wands ???
Ricky Brigante
1. There is a line outside Ollvander’s. Around 20-25 people are let in at a time and out of that group, 1 is “chosen” to participate. Everyone else watches and then after the brief show ends, everyone moves into the shop next door.
2. Yes, but the map was sold out after the first day. It doesn’t “do” anything.
3. It is going to be very crowded there for quite a while. I didn’t see any Hogwarts history books.
4. Birthday wands cost a few dollars more and are slightly longer and more ornate.
Florida resident
As someone who lives in Florida, I can safely say it’s going to be packed no matter what time of year you go. October isn’t usually as big a tourist month (it will certainly be better than July) but you should still expect long lines and a crowded atmosphere. Islands of Adventure is always a busy park even without the Harry Potter section opening, your best luck is to go to the park right when it opens and get on all the rides early, the lines should only get bigger while the day goes on.
Emily
Hi Michelle and Ricky! Thanks to both of you again for your superb job! As a shopaholic and true HP fan I loved every piece of merchandise you bought but especially the seals and your sequin shirt! Are there any action figures?
Ricky Brigante
No action figures. In fact, there are almost no products anywhere that have specific characters on it. The goal in the merchandise is to feel authentic… like you’re buying real student clothing at Hogwarts, real candy at Honeydukes, and real jokes and tricks at Zonko’s. Very few items are typical theme park-style products. The idea is that you are actually in the Wizarding World. Shops in Hogsmeade Village wouldn’t sell shirts with Harry Potter’s face on it, so Islands of Adventure doesn’t either.
Elizabeth
I’m curious if you spotted any Christmas ornaments or picture frames while you were there.
Thanks!
Cindy
I was wondering, with all the work they put into the details, did they think to add Moaning Myrtle to the Ladies Room-LOL.
Ricky Brigante
Actually… yes! In both the boys and girls restrooms. Here’s a video of Moaning Myrtle in the Wizarding World bathrooms (nothing inappropriate is shown):
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TJyKvR0dZ0s
Cindy
Thanks that was great!
Ricky Brigante
No ornaments but there is a great picture frame that we’ll be posting a photo of soon.
Tony
Are there any of the books out like the history of magic or secrets of darkestart or The life and lies of Albus Dumbledore? Also is there a Honeyduke bag and Exploding bon bon, Fizzing Whizbees, Pepper Imps, Ton-Tongue Toffee, Drooble’s Best Blowing Gum?
Thanks
Michelle Moss
There is a honeyduke’s bag that you can put candy into and you have to weigh it to purchase it. I do remember seeing Pepper Imps. They were little red candies. I don’t remember seeing the others though. However, I didn’t look that hard because the shop was so crowded.
Ricky Brigante
Post updated to include much better pictures, more merchandise, and pricing for all items we bought.
Holly
Loving the new pictures. I’m debating whether or not to sell my soul for that Fawkes plush. x_x Is there a Fluffy plush, too?
Universal, put this stuff up in your online store ASAP!!!!
Michelle Moss
There is a fluffy plush. I’m pretty sure the picture is in the other bunch of HP photos we took.
Peter
Great update. Very good pics.
Glenda & Conrad
Question:
Did you happen to see a “Remembr’all” in your journeys around the shops? I always said we would get one. I “forget” stuff alot and it’s kind of a joke between my hubby and I that “we should have one” . How big are the remembr’alls and do you recall their prices??
Michelle Moss
Yes, they did have a rememberall. I don’t know how much it was though.
Brian
Hey the new pictures are great! What items would you say sell out the most?
Michelle Moss
They sell the most of wands. Hands down!
Rina
Love the new pictures. Does the Sirius Black picture frame come with the option of switching out the pictures? I wouldn’t want to; I’m just curious. Also, does it move/is it a hologram? I’m thinking about getting it since I need something to decorate my bedroom with, haha.
Thanks again for the great pictures.
Ricky Brigante
The picture of Sirius Black is just a picture. It’s not lenticular and does not move. You can take it out and put any photo in there.
Ethan
Awesome pictures! Couple of questions. Are the wands made of wood or are they plastic? Do you have favorite item overall? Thanks in advance!
:( It's taking to long to go to harry potter
i was wondering that to i dont want some pathetic rip off plasctic wand for $30!!!!!
Ricky Brigante
They appear to be made of metal at their core. Very strong.
G-Rat
Hi Great picture. Can you please tell me what kind of wand the birthday wand is? Thanks.
Andrew
Your birthday wand is actually the look of George’s wand. Interesting. Look it up on Noble Collection.
Amy
Is the Hedwig pillow soft or more velvet feeling? It would match my room perfectly and I was wondering about the texture since velvet materials are hard for me to touch.
Ricky Brigante
It’s very soft and kind of feels like a fleece material.
Rachna
Do the wands do anything like make noise or light up?
Ricky Brigante
No, they are just wands.
Rachna
Ok thank you for the response!
Wild Ol' Dan
Howdy Pards,
Well, first thing I wanna do is congratulate and thank everyone at INSIDE THE MAGIC for the absolute finest coverage of the Wizarding World of Harry Potter to be found anywhere on the internet! It was an absolute joy to review both your articles and especially your videos and I sure hope you plan to add even more in the not too distant future. What a celebration! Thank you. Your coverage of the stuff available is truly outstanding and exceeds any other coverage by far! Adios for now. Talk to ya on down the trail. Wild Ol’ Dan
Ricky Brigante
Thanks! Unfortunately it appears that I won’t have the opportunity to attend tomorrow night’s celebrity event, but I plan on virtually attending via their live online stream – better than nothing I suppose! 🙂 But I will be continuing our Wizarding World coverage on Friday morning when it grand opens to the public. Should be madness – and a great time!
Frog
Not at the moment, however, Universal is considering getting them to interact with areas of the village and the castle…
Wild Ol' Dan
Howdy Frog,
I’m afraid the current wands that are available will interact with nothing outside of our imaginations. I own Harry, Ron, Hermione, and Dumbledore’s wands…and, I do own another of Harry’s wands that will indeed light up with just a wave of the wrist and, well, I always like to say LUMOS when I do…and NOX when I do it again to turn off the light.
If, in the future, Universal develops a wand that does interact with things in the park…it will be a special wand…not the collectors wands now available at Ollivanders.
Adios for now. Talk to ya on down the trail.
Wild Ol’ Dan
Mark
Are there baskets available in the shops as I cannot see any in the vidoes or photos? If not that is going to be a problem based on the amount of merchandise I want to buy when I am there in October.
Also, could you please post a picture of the souveneir ticket you received with your package? Thanks.
Ricky Brigante
I didn’t see any baskets to carry items inside the stores. I also didn’t have one of the packages that came with the collectible ticket.
Pranav
Anyone know how much the brooms are?
Rachna
$250, $300
Pranav
how do you know?
Rachna
read it somewhere!
Pranav
WHERE?
Pranav
This person is mean!
Michelle Moss
Yes, the brooms are $300 and up. I asked the person behind the counter at the store.
Jessica
It says that the brooms are around $300, but some could be more. It’s in the top half of the comments. Hope that helps.
Amorae
Simply amazing! Thanks for all the awesome pics. Going in a few days…I should probably leave my credit cards at home…but I won’t!
Tyler
Hey! I really appreciate all of the exclusive photos and videos. I read on several websites that Filch’s Emporium of Confiscated Goods has remote control Golden Snitches for sale. Is this true? If you saw them, how much were they?
Ricky Brigante
I didn’t see those.
Yahem Z.
They have those at Filch’s. I buy that.
Tyler
Oh, and are the wands made out of wood? If they are $28, they better be of good quality. Haha!
Ricky Brigante
Nope. They seem to have a solid metal core.
Tyler
That’s even better. They’ll last longer that way. They aren’t heavy, are they?
Cindy
Okay, I’m going crazy, I remember someone asking about buying the ‘Monster book of monsters’ and where it can be bought and I can’t remember where (if it was here or at another forum) I saw it. They have it for sale at Amazon in case that person was from here cause I don’t know if the WW will be selling it.
http://www.amazon.com/Harry-Potter-Monster-Monsters-Plush/dp/B000P6XEO8/ref=pd_bxgy_t_text_b
Connie
They are handpainted polyresin with metal rod inside.
Katie R
So many questions, where to start.. Well I’ll be there from july 24th to the 28th armed with 3 day park to park passes. The first day i want to dedicate to the HP area.
-What would you recommend doing first? Shopping or Forbidden Journey?
-Do the souvenirs come with bags? Or should I bring one to carry the items?
-Do wands sell out fast? (its the main item i want to get)
-And do they have school robes?
-One more! How long are line estimates around the time of end of july?
Thanksss :))
Cindy
Just a heads up…they have a message at the Universal online store saying they’re getting things ready to start selling WW merchandise.
http://www.universalorlando.com/OverviewPages/Shops/merchandise_store.aspx
Ricky Brigante
Shopping can wait until later in the day. The Ollivander’s experience will have a line all day long, with it being shorter at the end of the day. But you don’t have to go through that to buy a wand. In fact, Universal has set up a magic wand cart outside the Forbidden Journey attraction as well.
You’ll get a sturdy plastic bag with a handle with every purchase.
The wands will not likely sell out. It seems like they have enough to go around.
They do have school robes.
Line estimates are quite unknown at this point. But given that it’s the busy summer season PLUS the Wizarding World being new, I’d imagine lines throughout the park will be fairly long. Lines are always shorter at the end of the day.
Anna
Hi im just back from Orlando and went to WWoHP about 5 times when i was there. We went for 9am on our first day and didnt queue for more than 20 mins to get into park. Forbidden jourey wait times seemed no longer than 45 mins every time i went. Dont buy chocolate frogs too early as they will be melted by the time you leave. A lot of the merchandise can be bought at the Universal Gift shop in CityWalk. I bought chocolate presents in here on my way home so they stayed solid. Evening time is a great time to go as its cooling down and it quietens down because people that were there early have got tired and left. On my last visit they had sold out of the butterbeer cups and were using just regular plastic cups with butterbeer wrote on the side. Olivanders has a queue permanently and it gets very warm when queing during the day. Have fun its amazing
rocky
Go to wand shop first-40 min wait…then forbidden journey then 3 broom sticks then shop…honeydukes is cool zonko? is ok. Butter beer frozen and non frozen are amazing…mixing them is the best.
Tony
@Katie R: lot of people from what I here head to the Forbidden Journey first. However if you are hoping to get your hands on a Chocolate Frog your going to what to get there early to get it that is the hottest idem right know
As far as the bags they have the poster they used to promote the park. I don’t know if they have any other kinds of bags
They have lots of wands they have 13 different Birthday wands and then wands film the film. the store is very small and can only hole around 25 to 30 people at a time. So they should have wands with out selling out
Yes they have school robes from each all 4 houses from what I hear and there around a $100 each
Will I do know opening day was and 8 hours wait to get in then by about 2 o clock in the after noon the Forbidden Journey ride was about 45 minutes the same day. If you are going out between July 13-17 do know the LeakyCon is going to be there. Over all I would guess about half the time it was for opening day but can for sure
Hope it helps
Katie R
yes perfect! ill be there the 24th through the 28th. i loved hermione’s wand but im curious what the may wand looks like (my bday). i cant wait to go!
Chris
Does anyone have any idea how much the Quidditch items are? The Quaffle, Beater’s Bat, Bludger, ect?
And ty for posting this. This all looks amazing and you sure got some great stuff!!!
Tory
Bludger- $22
Quaffle- $20
Snitch-15-20
approximate!
Jackie
I will be going in July. Thank you for posting all this info. I know that there is lots of merch you can purchase at the WB shop online and the Noble Collection catalog. Plus I live by a FAO Schwartz store which carries the map for $35, so if it’s not on sale on the WB site, I can always get it there.
I’m going to be careful w/my spending and buy things I can ONLY get at the park. Thanks again. 🙂
Jess
Does anyone know if they sell time turners at the shop? I’ve been dying to get my hands on one!
Ricky Brigante
They unfortunately don’t sell time turners and they don’t expect to.
Jess
What a letdown…
Chris
Here you go:

Tony
Do they have head boy and head girl pins for the houses like they do for the Prefect pins?
amaya
yes they do. they are around 7.95
Katie R
Oh and by the way, how fast do school robes sell out? How are the sizes determind? And is it just the cape or other pieces?
Ricky Brigante
Unfortunately, I haven’t really looked closely at the robes. But I’ll try to next time I’m there (which will be soon).
Mark
The Universal Store website “Wizarding World of Harry Potter” section has now opened for business, selling a limited range of merchandise.
http://www.universalorlando.com/OverviewPages/Shops/merchandise_store.aspx
Ricky Brigante
Thanks! I posted about it here: http://www.insidethemagic.net/2010/07/wizarding-world-of-harry-potter-merchandise-now-available-from-universal-orlandos-online-store/
Katie R
How ridiculously long are these lines to get into the different stores anyways?
Ricky Brigante
The last time I was there, there was no line for Honeydukes or Zonko’s. Ollivander’s looked to be around 45-60 minutes. Dervish & Banges / Owl Post (which is where Ollivander’s exits into) was likely around 30 minutes. There’s never a line to enter Filch’s Emporium, as it’s the exit for Forbidden Journey.
Katie R
Well alright! looks like I am willing to wait! But do you recommend shopping or riding the forbidden journey first?
Ricky Brigante
The Forbidden Journey queue is much more enjoyable than waiting outside to get into a shop. I’d recommend visiting Ollivander’s first thing in the morning, browsing through the Owl Post and Dervish & Banges afterward, and then hitting Forbidden Journey.
Katie R
Ok great! Lets hope they have what I need!
Valerie
Hello! How large are the pins, if you happen to remember? Specifically interested in the Prefect pins.
Ricky Brigante
Depends on the pin. Some are as small as 1″ and others are as big as 2″ or more.
Nadia-Francina
Hi, I just wondered, that Golden snitch, does it come off the black stand? I’m dying to get one, the one you have is pretty much what I’m looking for, but I want to be able to take it off the stand.

Hi Nadia-Francina,
This might look like spam, but I just found your reply on this website. I know it’s been a while since you’ve asked this, but I think I have the golden snitch you’ve been looking for. At this moment I sell an exclusive gold plated and sterling silver golden snitch. It is no merchandise and only a few of these are made. It comes with an official certificate of authenticity and a wooden gift box. And you can take the snitch of the stand!
Please take a look at my advertisement on eBay, and I hope you are not offended with my message. Best regards, Dennis

Hi. This site is awesome! I can’t wait to go to the Wizarding World of Harry Potter during Christmas time. By any chance, do you know what colours the Pygmy Puff’s come in, other than pink? Thanks.
Ricky Brigante
Only pink!
Jess
Thanks!

Awwww! Now you’ve convinced me to go!

Ricky Brigante
Around 8-10″ across.

Hi!
I know the wizarding world is open for quite some time now, but i live in Europe so it’s not quite easy for me to go. I had a question, do they sell prefect badges for hufflepuff/ravenclaw houses too?
Isabelle
No, they don’t 🙁 I came home from WWoHP yesterday and they only have them i Slytherin och Gryffindor. It really sucks… I’m a Ravenclaw but apparently no one really cares about the Ravs and the Puffs 🙁
Lindsay
That’s not true at all. They have Ravenclaw and Hufflepuff things for almost ever single thing as they do Slytherin and Gryffindor. The only thing I saw there that they didn’t have for Ravenclaw and Hufflepuff were blankets. They have the badges, not to worry! I’m in ravenclaw too, and I got tons of things for my house. People really do care about the ‘ravs’ and the ‘puffs’, RAVENCLAW IS THE BEST HOUSE!

I have been researching on the internet and the forums and I wanted to know if they actually sell the Quidditch robes inside the park? I have a friend who would love to get one….
Liz
Hey, how come I can’t find any plush toys of Fang?

They do sell them at Filch’s Emporium in the Wizarding World.

Wondering if you sell Ravenclaw scarves at the Universal Store in Orlando airport.
Stacy
I want absolutely everything! The pygmy puff made me laugh. It’s so cute! And the luggage stationary set? Too cool! I am waiting impatiently for the California park to open…

Since all reports are maintained and available over the
internet, your balance sheet, and income statement as well as reconciled general ledger is
easily accessible and this comes in handy when you need these details before an
important and unexpected meeting and don’t have to spend time going over multiple files to find what you are looking for. You have to dedicate ample time to get sales-ready opportunities before your competitors do. Of course every Small Business is different and everyone has different needs.

If the government ever does get the money, they
will find a way to screw it up. With a little time and effort you can have your
very own homemade electric car for a fraction of the cost.
These batteries also do not like to be frozen,
but really detest excessive heat.

Wonderful blog! I found it while searching on Yahoo News.
Do you have any tips on how to get listed in Yahoo
News? I’ve been trying for a while but I never
seem to get there! Cheers

Significant amount of my time is spent with lenders,
both explaining our program and workking with them to working with a small company
you want to reach those people who can reach the most people.
I encourage you to watch the news and to pay attention dallas seo
to events, either on your own or with outsourced
help. It’s different in many areas and we’re going to take
a moment to thank them, but before you come out, come and take a
look and see what happens.

Amazing blog! Is your theme custom made or did
you download it from somewhere? A design like yours with a few simple tweeks would really make my blog jump out.
Please let me know where you got your design. Many

Fantastic website you have here but I was curious if
you knew of any forums that cover the same topics talked about in this article?
I’d really love to be a part of group where I can get responses from other knowledgeable people that share the same interest.
If you have any suggestions, please let me know.
Cheers!

Hi I was wondering if you were willing to trade/sell any of your HP pins???
Margo
You wouldn’t happen to still have those pins would you? I’ve been looking for the Death Eater Mask and the Sliding Buckbeak pins everywhere and can’t seem to find them! I’d be willing to buy or trade for them!
