Harry Potter Pop-up Shop at Harrods

Harrods and Selfridge's seem to be the go-to stores for high profile in-store pop-ups.  The most recent opened a couple of days ago, and I'd imagine is going to do sensational business in the run up to Christmas.

"Located on the 3rd floor of the store, The Harry Potter Shop at Harrods covers over 4,000 square feet and offers fans and holiday shoppers the opportunity to select from a huge range of Harry Potter products.  The product range includes prop replicas and collectibles from The Noble Collection and Tonner Doll; toys and games from LEGO, TOMY, Hasbro, Winning Moves, and She Who Dares; a collection of wizard costumes from Rubies; and the LEGO Harry Potter video games. “Harry Potter™  : The Complete 8-Film Collection” in the Limited Edition Elder Wand Chest, which is only available in the UK at Harrods, starting 2 December 2011, will retail for £199 and contains the complete Harry Potter film collection on 11 Blu-ray™   discs.
Also on display are original props and costumes from the films, including the sword of Gryffindor, broomsticks, Hogwarts school uniforms, and the Elder Wand.
Game pods are set up in-store to allow fans to play LEGO Harry Potter: Years 1-4, as well as LEGO Harry Potter: Years 5-7,  upon its release on 18 November 2011.  Sony also has their latest 3D technology on display so fans can watch Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows™ - Part 1  and, after its release on 2 December, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows™ – Part 2  in 3D.  Finally, Warner Bros. Studio Tour London - The Making of Harry Potter  has set up a special installation where visitors can take their photo at the Great Hall and get a sneak peek of what to expect when the UK’s newest attraction opens on 31 March 2012."
