Official Harry Potter Shop in Warner Bros Studio London
While visiting Harry Potter Warner Bros Studio you just can’t miss visiting its three stores (you literally can’t as all of them are part of the tour). The first shop is located right after the Forbidden Forest set, the second at the Railway Station set, and the last one at the very end of the tour. First two are quite small, but the third one is huge and best equipped. It’s very easy to get lost there for an hour, looking through all the shelves. Cloths, mascots, books, wands, sweets, accessories, jewelry, artifacts, and many, many more can be found there. And all of them are from the official Harry Potter merchandise. You can visit their online shop to see more or less what’s on offer.

Primark
Yes, you’ll find Harry Potter sections probably in every possible Primark. But the one in London, located on Oxford Street, is really unique as it opened an entire store devoted to its Harry Potter collection. Sold items are much cheaper than in official Harry Potter shops, and are of worse quality – all because of the fact that they aren’t from the official merchandise.
Here’s video showcasing how Harry Potter section in London Primark looks like:

Hamleys is probably the best British toy store with a really wide variety of products from many brands. The store on Regent Street has a few floors, and on one of them, you’ll find a whole section dedicated to the Harry Potter world.
