Coming soon: The Muggles take Manhattan.
Good news for Manhattan Muggles who still dream of going to Hogwarts — Harry Potter’s wizarding world is coming to you.
A press release from the AT&T Inc. T, -0.59% -owned Warner Bros. claims that the store will conjure the largest collection of Harry Potter and Fantastic Beasts products in the world, offering personalized robes, Bertie Bott’s Every Flavor Beans, as well as treats such as coffee, ice cream and “butterbeer” that are similar to what guests can get at the Wizarding World of Harry Potter theme parks at the Comcast CMCSA, -1.16% -owned Universal Parks in Orlando, Hollywood and Osaka, Japan.
But some New Yorkers aren’t enthralled by the early renderings of the store, which propose adding a fiberglass dragon with a clock, two backlit Harry Potter signs and six “wand-style” antique brass flagpoles to the building’s facade, which was built in the 1860s. In fact, the Manhattan Community Board 5’s landmarks committee unanimously denied the request to make these alterations to the building, The Wall Street Journal reported. The motion will now go to the full community board on Jan.
