8 Souvenirs at the Wizarding World of Harry Potter That You Need to Buy
If you’re heading to the Wizarding World at Universal Orlando Studios in Orlando, be prepared to spend some money, however isn’t that why you’re there? To have the most magical time and create some of the best memories? Welp instead of buying random souvenirs and flashy things that look cool, I have narrowed down a list of the eight best souvenirs at the Wizarding World of Harry Potter that you need to buy! (Universal Orlando Studios.)
1. Your Very Own Interactive Wand
This is definitely the most popular souvenir that most people get when visiting here. You get to go to Ollivanders (or Gregorovitch’s in Diagon Alley) for a full-on wand choosing ceremony. Some people even get “chosen by the wand.” If you’re a Harry Potter fan, it’s straight-up goosebumps stuff and the kids will love it. As a 27 year old who loves harry Potter, I still get chills going here
More importantly, the interactive wands actually let you cast spells around the park. Little golden plaques on the ground tell you how to swish and flick, and all of a sudden you’re making it rain, lighting lanterns, and opening secret boxes.
Now raises the question, what is the best wand to buy at the Wizarding World of Harry Potter? Well that’s entirely up to you, can’t go wrong with one of the main trios, the Elder Wand, or perhaps you want to go another direction and get Bellatrix or Voldemort! the choice is yours.
2. A House Robe That Screams Loyalty
Whether you’re team Gryffindor, Slytherin, Ravenclaw, or Hufflepuff, rocking your house robe is a whole vibe. It’s not the cheapest souvenir, but it’s high-quality and totally Instagram-worthy and if you really want to immerse yourself into the Harry potter theme, then getting a robe is the way to go
3. Chocolate Frogs (Collectible Cards Included!)
Yes, they’re tasty. Yes, they melt a little if it’s hot. But the real reason you’ll want one? The collectible wizard cards inside. If you recall in the Sorcerers’ Stone, you get a collectable card, much like Ron and Harry did! From Dumbledore to other famous wizards!
4. A Personalized Hogwarts Acceptance Letter
This one gets me every time. You can actually get your own acceptance letter to Hogwarts, complete with your name and address. It’s one of those unique souvenirs at the Wizarding World that makes you feel like the main character. Most of the shops in the Wizarding World sells these. This is affordable and super fun, something that you can hang in your room or office where it reminds you of your trip to the Wizarding World.
5. Butterbeer Mugs (Reusable & Cute)
Butterbeer is iconic on its own, but getting it in a souvenir mug? Totally worth it. Not only do you get a delicious drink, but you also take home a themed cup that’ll remind you of your trip every time you use it.
6. House Scarves for Ultimate Cozy Vibes
If you visit in the cooler months—or just love repping your house—these scarves are perfect. They’re super soft and look just like the ones from the films. A cozy and stylish Wizarding World souvenir.
7. A Time-Turner Necklace
Wiseacre’s Wizarding Equipment & Scribbulus is a super cool store. This one’s more of a subtle souvenir, but it’s gorgeous. The Time-Turner necklace is detailed and makes a perfect gift (for yourself or another Potterhead).
You can find essential wizarding equipment, including magnifying glasses, compasses, sky maps and star charts, among apparel and accessories here. Pop over to Scribbulus for journals themed as books like Tom Riddle’s diary or the “History of Potion Making”, stationery and quills. You can walk straight through since the two stores are connected inside.
8. Exploding Bonbons & Other Magical Sweets
The sweets from Honeydukes are next-level. From Exploding Bonbons to Fizzing Whizzbees, these edible souvenirs at the Wizarding World are perfect for sharing—or hoarding like a dragon guarding its treasure. All the fun snacks we know from the books and movies you’re actually able to get in real life here! And the snacks that don’t melt, feel free to take them home to family and friends as well!
Conclusion: 8 Souvenirs at the Wizarding World of Harry Potter you have to Buy!
These are my top eight picks for souvenirs at the Wizarding World that are truly worth the money. I know a lot of people will say don’t spend you money on souvenirs, but what’s the point of visiting a place one time and not getting a token to remember it by?
