Finally stopped into the Harry Potter store while my mom was in town visiting - I wanted to go with her. Thankfully, the crowds have died down, but there is still pretty much always a line, but the line does move pretty quickly. When you step in to the store literally feels like one of the souvenir shops when you exit one of the rides at the Wizarding world of Harry Potter/Diagon ally. Pretty much all of the same merchandise is there - as expected. The store is quite large, but with the amount of people in the store, it does get a little tight to move around. I do like that there are little shops within the store for wands, art, and things like that etc. I do wish the café sitting area was a little bit larger, thankfully for the most part everyone is having their treats, etc., and leaving promptly thereafter to give us their seating. I love that they have two separate bar like jet glass cleaning stations, so that you can clean your butterbeer, souvenir mug, and take it with you if you'd like to. Their café prices, from what I remember are pretty close to exactly what they are in the theme parks - so essentially it's like bringing mini parts: shopping and dining, from the theme park to Chicago, which is super nice for people who can't get to the theme parks for whatever reason. The store is really immersive so if you've never been to the theme park, it's really a lovely visit.
I am still thoroughly in love with the butterbeer ice cream I will definitely go out of my way to get more of that, on the regular.
