A lucky few of us in Florida and California have the luxury of visiting the Wizarding World of Harry Potter at the Universal Studios theme parks whenever we please. The immersive shops and dining locations of Hogsmeade and Diagon Alley are always right at our fingertips. For the rest of the world, it’s not quite that easy.
This holiday season though, that is going to change. Warner Bros. Consumer Products and Global Experience Specialists are bringing the magic of Harry Potter to you with “Christmas in the Wizarding World.”
This unique holiday experience will feature iconic locations like Olivander’s wand shop and animated windows that will bring the rest of the Wizarding world to life. Shoppers will be able to find all of the Harry Potter merchandise that they need for their Holiday shopping spree. House sweaters, robes, collectibles and much more will all be available.
A list of the locations that this experience will be coming to has not yet been announced, but it is being said that “Christmas in the Wizarding World” will be popping up in “major shopping destinations.”
