Ollivanders

The concept

Ollivanders is a small show attraction in Hogsmeade. With a small group, you step into the dusty, dimly lit shop. The wandmaker picks out a visitor and has him or her try various wands. Not every wand cooperates equally well.

The Experience

The moment the right wand finds its owner is small but enchanting. The experience lasts about ten minutes. Afterwards you come out in the shop, where you can buy a wand of your own, a replica of your favourite character's wand or a collector's set.
