“#Harry Potter fans wait hours in the rain for NYC store opening<\/strong>”<\/p>\n

\n

Despite being a wet afternoon in New York City, hundreds of Harry Potterheads who could use a little magic right now stood on line for the grand opening of Harry Potter New York. <\/p>\n

Inclement weather wasn\u2019t enough to keep fans away from the franchise\u2019s first US flagship, as seen in dozens of Twitter photos<\/a> showing lines wrapping around the block<\/a> Thursday.<\/p>\n

\u201cNote, also waiting in line in the pouring rain for the Harry Potter store to allow you admittance is not what I\u2019d ideally like to be doing right now. I have only about 3 more hours to go. Possibly. It may be double that,\u201d one fan tweeted<\/a>.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Located at 935 Broadway in the Flatiron District, the shop is three stories and over 20,000 square feet of Harry Potter and Fantastic Beasts swag. <\/p>\n

Harry Potter New York will be open Mondays to Saturdays from 10 a.m. to 9 p.m. and Sunday from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m.<\/p>\n

Warner Bros. announced<\/a> the store based on author J.K. Rowling\u2019s books back in April. The shop includes 15 distinct areas of Harry Potter New York, including a large-scale statue of Fawkes the Phoenix that lords over the entrance \u2014 an NYC exclusive that was handcrafted by a team of custom propmakers, who prepared a number of unique features throughout the store.<\/p>\n

There are also plenty of photo ops for Potterheads looking to add some magic to their Instagram feeds. Fans can take photos in the London phone box where they can be transported back to the Ministry of Magic headquarters. Wand engraving, house robe embroidery and other personalized sacraments of sorcery will also be available. All told, more than 1,000 Wizarding World props will be on display, many of which were used in the films.<\/p>\n

Plus, there\u2019s a number of virtual reality stations to give visitors the experience of flying, as well as an up-close look at the enchanting Hogwarts campus.<\/p>\n

For fans hungry for more, there\u2019s signature snacks usually found only at Diagon Alley, such as Honeydukes\u2019 Chocolate Frogs, Bertie Bott\u2019s\u00a0Every Flavour Beans and the magician\u2019s staple brew, Butterbeer, for sale.<\/p>\n
