Harry Potter New York has magic brewing this summer. The store has unveiled a magical green screen broomstick flying experience that promises to whisk fans straight into the wizarding world. Guests can embark on an adventure and have a photo taken flying over enchanting scenes just like the cast while filming the movies, including the flying car and Hogwarts scene exclusive to Harry Potter New York.
Whether soaring alongside the Knight Bus or chasing the Golden Snitch in an exciting Quidditch match, witches, wizards and Muggles alike will get to experience the thrill of flying a broomstick and uncover the magic that brought the movies to life. Fans can choose from a variety of photo and video packages* available for purchase for a one-of-a-kind souvenir.
“With a new season upon us and Harry Potter New York’s third anniversary earlier this month, this is the perfect time to give fans new ways to explore and celebrate the wizarding world,” said Joel Gonzalez, director, Harry Potter New York. “From a unique broomstick photo opportunity where visitors can emulate the cast in the movies to a new collection of authentic props and additional store offers, there is something special for everyone to enjoy.”
To help visitors get familiar with a broomstick, Matthew Lewis, who played Neville Longbottom in the film franchise, stopped by the store to give aspiring wizards and witches a preview lesson. In addition, fans can marvel at a collection of new-to-the-store props from the films, including the Sorcerer’s Stone, the Time-Turner Necklace, the Nimbus 2001 broomstick and wands from legendary witches and wizards like Bellatrix Lestrange, Sirius Black, Severus Snape and Draco Malfoy.
Harry Potter New York will also serve a limited-time Quidditch inspired cupcake available exclusively at the Butterbeer Bar. Plus, free personalization on any product will be available from June 20 to June 23 with a purchase. Whether it’s a wand, a journal, or a Hogwarts robe, make your purchase uniquely yours at no extra cost, save your galleons for a treat at the Butterbeer Bar.
