Unique shopping experience at Christmas in the Wizarding World November 23, 2017, 11:21 amInside Christmas in the Wizarding World are gifts for every Harry Potter fan. The area is set up as a wintry Hogsmeade village; including film-inspired window displays and a wide selection of gifts from Harry Potter and Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them. Some of the items for sale are: scarves, ornaments, Hogwarts robes, owls, plush animals, sweaters, jewelry, ornaments, stockings, and of course Bertie Bott's Every Flavour Beans and Chocolate Frogs, plus more. The best part of the experience is the wand choosing experience inside Ollivanders. Inside this store, the Wandmaster helps you choose the best wand. And of course remember, the "wand chooses you", as he tells each shopper. Set up in the corner of the Christmas in the Wizarding World is an area where kids can play a Quaffle Toss game. For an additional charge, shoppers can dress up in Harry Potter scarves (and hold wands) and stand in front of a green screen and get their picture taken, which then up at the counter they choose from several Harry Potter-themed backgrounds. Even though the area is much smaller than I expected, for being a free activity (except for the things you buy) it is a fun different Christmas shopping experience, that is if you don't mind waiting in lines. Because of the size, they only let so many shoppers in the area at a time. No strollers are allowed in the line or in the area. You can visit Christmas in the Wizarding World at The Shops at South Towne in Sandy Mondays through Thursdays 11 - 7 p.m., Friday and Saturdays 11 a.m. - 8 p.m., and Sundays from noon - 5 p.m. It will be at the mall through January 31. The mall is located at 10450 S. State Street in Sandy. Shoppers can enter through the east main mall door (by JC Penneys) and then go down the stairs or elevator.
