Ollivanders
Ollivanders is the shop of the famous wandmaker from the Harry Potter stories, "Makers of Fine Wands since 382 BC". In Hogsmeade, you can experience a short show here in which a wand chooses a wizard. Afterwards, you can buy a wand of your own.
The concept
You step into a dusty shop with towering stacks of boxes. The wandmaker picks out a visitor and has them try out various wands. Only when the right wand has found its owner does something special happen. It's a small, intimate moment, just like in the books.
The Experience
You experience the ceremony in a small, atmospheric room. For children who are chosen, it's an unforgettable moment. Afterwards, you continue into the shop, where you'll find wands belonging to famous characters as well as interactive wands. With one of these interactive wands, a flick and the right spell let you trigger magical effects at various spots around Hogsmeade.
