The Harry Potter New York store (@harrypotterny) has some magical new offerings coming this summer. ⚡️
Starting on June 20, Harry Potter New York will feature a green screen broomstick adventure, allowing New Yorkers to fly high over classic “Harry Potter” scenes.
Matthew Lewis (@mattdavelewis), who portrayed beloved Gryffindor student Neville Longbottom in the “Harry Potter” films, came by to test out the new virtual experience and celebrate the newest additions to the store.
“When I was growing up, I was a fan of the Harry Potter books. I wish there had been something like this when I was younger,” said Lewis. “This is just incredible, to have been able to ride a broomstick when I was nine years old, that would have blown me away.”
In the new virtual experience, guests hop on a broomstick and race their way to make it to Hogwarts on time. Those who participate will fly over London, race against the Knight Bus, fly across Scotland and the Black Lake and eventually end up at Hogwarts.
Harry Potter New York is located at 935 Broadway and is open from 9 a.m. - 9 p.m. Monday - Saturday and 9 a.m. - 7 p.m. Sunday.
