Butterbeer, magic wands and, of course, books: a large shop has opened in New York with products from the world of the magician Harry Potter.
Directly behind the famous Flatiron Building on Broadway in Manhattan, fans of the book series by British author Joanne K. Rowling can now not only buy merchandise such as T-shirts or school uniforms from Gryffindor or Slytherin, but also a personal letter for admission to the Hogwarts Magic School.
If you need a break from shopping, you can drink Butterbeer in a separate bar area and order special sweets from the Harry Potter world. In the wand corner from manufacturer Ollivander, there are more than 50 sticks ready to try out – including those from Harry, Hermione, Ron, Dumbledore and Voldemort. With video masks, among other things, flights with Wildhter Hagrid over Hogwarts will soon be possible.
The new store attracted a lot of fans in the first hours of its opening. NBC TV station reported long lines and Harry Potter followers who allegedly even spent the night in front of the store to be the first to enter.
