The Harry Potter Shop will officially open its doors at Heathrow Terminal 5 in November.
The new 600 sq.ft. store will be situated following the security check in Terminal 5 and will open in time for the 18th November release of Warner Bros. Pictures’ highly anticipated Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them, an all-new adventure that opens up a whole new era of magic. The Harry Potter Shop will sell items from across J.K. Rowling’s Wizarding World including collectibles, apparel, accessories, gifts, novelties and souvenirs from Platform 9 ¾ at King’s Cross Station and merchandise from the West End hit play ‘Harry Potter and The Cursed Child Parts One and Two’, and newly released products from Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them.
The store will be visited by more than 16 million passengers traveling around the globe and coming through Heathrow Terminal 5 each year. The Harry Potter Shop has been produced by Jonathan Sands (Chief Executive of the Harry Potter Shop at Platform 9 ¾ King’s Cross Station) and in partnership with Warner Bros. Consumer Products.
Speaking ahead of the launch of the shop just in time for Christmas 2016, Jonathan Sands of The Harry Potter Shop, said, “We are proud to be opening The Harry Potter Shop at Heathrow Terminal 5, in partnership with Warner Bros. Consumer Products, and look forward to bringing some of our magic to the UK’s most iconic airport.”

El director comercial d'Heathrow, Jonathan Coen, va dir; "Estem molt contents de donar la benvinguda a la nova botiga de Harry Potter a la Terminal 5. Harry Potter és estimat a tot el món i quin millor lloc per gaudir de regals i records del Món Màgic abans que els nostres passatgers volin a l'altre costat del món. Esperem que els nostres clients gaudeixin de tot el que ofereix la nova botiga mentre s'emporten una mica de màgia".
