But the new flagship store has some special items that aren't found anywhere else, like a Diagon Alley wand, a special Funko Pop figure, and an artwork by MinaLima that's inspired by the Knight Bus and Diagon Alley.

While London already has several unofficial Harry Potter-themed souvenir shops, the latest Warner Bros. destination is expected to offer fans an officially curated shopping experience unlike any other.
