Warner Bros have announced today that there is a pop-up Harry Potter store at Harrods in London! It is open from today until January 2012 and contains ton of Harry Potter products and memorabilia.
Located on the 3rd floor of the store, The Harry Potter Shop at Harrods covers over 4,000 square feet and offers fans and holiday shoppers the opportunity to select from a huge range of Harry Potter products. The product range includes prop replicas and collectibles from The Noble Collection and Tonner Doll; toys and games from LEGO, TOMY, Hasbro, Winning Moves, and She Who Dares; a collection of wizard costumes from Rubies; and the LEGO Harry Potter video games. “Harry Potter™ : The Complete 8-Film Collection” in the Limited Edition Elder Wand Chest, which is only available in the UK at Harrods, starting 2 December 2011, will retail for £199 and contains the complete Harry Potter film collection on 11 Blu-ray™ discs.
Game pods are set up in-store to allow fans to play LEGO Harry Potter: Years 1-4, as well as LEGO Harry Potter: Years 5-7, upon its release on 18 November 2011. Sony also has their latest 3D technology on display so fans can watch Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows™ – Part 1 and, after its release on 2 December, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows™ – Part 2 in 3D. Finally, Warner Bros. Studio Tour London – The Making of Harry Potter has set up a special installation where visitors can take their photo at the Great Hall and get a sneak peek of what to expect when the UK’s newest attraction opens on 31 March 2012.
You can pre-order the movie at the following links. Make sure you get your copies before December 2011, because as I posted a few months ago WB will stop shipping out all of the Potter DVDs in December so you will no longer be able to purchase physical copies (until they do a re-release a la Disney)
Last night Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part II won the Hollywood Movie of the Year at the Annual Hollywood Film Awards Gala. Tom Felton was there to accept the award and some photos may be viewed at Feltbeats!
Picking up the award on behalf of the crew was Tom Felton who played one of the villains in the movie. Thanking the fans, the organization and everyone involved in the film, once again the star reminded everyone just how humble they were for the opportunity to be part of a major movie franchise.
