Crowds of Potter fans welcomed the first ‘Christmas in the Wizarding World’ unique retail experience in Utah this month, where The Shops at South Town recreated a wintry Hogsmeade for visitors to enjoy, complete with wizarding pop-up shops!

The experience is fully interactive, with animated shop windows and an interactive ‘Quaffle Toss’ game, surrounded by a display of Quidditch themed merch.

Aside from the usual (and brilliant) Harry Potter and Fantastic Beasts merch (sweets from Honeydukes, house robes and sweaters, plush toys etc), the shopping experience also offers festive merchandise, such as ornaments and stockings. Ollivanders also features, allowing visitors to be chosen by their wand, assisted by the store’s Wandkeeper.
