World’s largest ‘Harry Potter’ store to open in NYC this year

MANHATTAN, N.Y. — Who couldn’t use a little magic right now?

A new store marketed as the world’s largest “Harry Potter” shop will open at 935 Broadway in the heart of Manhattan’s Flatiron District later this year.

SecretNYC reported that the launch will take place this summer, but no official date has been announced.

“This will be the largest dedicated Harry Potter store in the world and will become a must-visit fan destination where Harry Potter enthusiasts can engage with interactive experiences and numerous photo opportunities as they step into the magic,” said Sarah Roots, senior vice president of worldwide tours and retail for Warner Bros. “We are very excited to be opening in New York. It’s the ideal city in which to launch with so many dedicated Wizarding World fans, a cutting-edge retail environment and a community that embraces innovative experiences.”

The three-story shop, which will be spread out over more than 20,000 square feet, is set to sell the largest collection of “Harry Potter and Fantastic Beasts” products in the world. Ahead of its opening, fans can shop online at HarryPotterShop.com, however products that are exclusive to the New York City location will be revealed closer to its opening.

Merchandise is fully inspired by the “Harry Potter” series and categorized by the different houses: Gryffindor, Hufflepuff, Ravenclaw and Slytherin. For years, fans have taken tests to determine what house they belong to in the fictional world.
