Harry Potter Shop Chicago

 

Welcome to the brand new Harry Potter Chicago shop on Michigan Avenue

The stag patronus stands guard outside the shop

Upon entry you are greeted by the stained glass window from the prefects' bathroom and one of the champion's eggs from the first task

In the center of the store you see the Goblet of Fire, which will occasionally turn to red to "spit out the name of a champion"

Above the shelves of souvenirs for purchase you will find different props from the movies.  For instance here you can see a Quidditch jersey and broom.  On the right you can see Luna's head gear she wore to support Harry in his match

Additional Quidditch gear

Here you can see items from the Weasley's Wizard Wheezes shop

Plants from Mrs. Sprout's classrooms

Flying acceptance letters

That appear to be coming from the Dursley's front door

Lots of wands are available from the Ollivander's stand inside the shop

The most popular part of the shop is definitely the Butterbeer cafe

Here you can get the famous Butterbeer in either the regular format or frozen.  Each draft comes in a souvenir cup you can take home

We had so much fun visiting the shop.  This has quickly become a "must stop" for us anytime we visit the Windy City
