We are thrilled to welcome Harry Potter New York, the world’s first official Harry Potter flagship store located at 935 Broadway between 22nd Street and 21st Street. The store is a multi-floored themed shopping experience with the most extensive collection of Harry Potter and Fantastic Beasts products.
“We’re so excited to be opening in the Flatiron district, it’s the perfect vibrant, bustling neighborhood for retail and entertainment. We couldn’t help but be drawn to the architecture that looks so reminiscent of the Wizarding World,” said Karl Durrant, VP and General Manager, Warner Bros. Retail.
