Harry Potter Christmas themed goodies?

[dimndgal1]

We are headed to Orlando in a week (EEEK!) and I just learned my aunt is a HUGE HP fan and is also obsessed with Christmas (she puts up 10 trees around the house... seriously).

Does WWoHP have Christmas themed items? Ornaments or decorations? I just want to know ahead of time so I can anticipate if it's worth looking -- I once spent an entire trip to WDW keeping an eye out for something only to find out it was sold out, so I'd rather have a clue up front.

Thanks so much! (oh, and EEEEEEK!)

Heading back again tomorrow, I'll try to see what is there. IOA also has a Christmas store right near the front entrance of the park.

If you can do single rider lines for FJ, now is a great time to go. I was only in the park for 1 1/2 hours before closing time, I ate at Three Broomsticks, the ride stopped for repairs three times, and I still rode five times. The lockers were giving people 2 hours of rental time free though, so I assume the regular line was a little longer. Child swap appeared to be running about 10-15 minutes faster than the regular line.

I didn't see Harry Potter Christmas items when I was in the Wizarding World last thursday, but I wasn't really looking for it. There might be something in the Christmas store though.

Yes, there are Wizarding World Christmas ornaments. Not a lot, though.

Thanks so much for the info! My mom is stoked to know there is a Christmas store at IoA - we're already planning on hitting the one in DTD - and I love any excuse to plan for the holidays.

And I appreciate knowing there are at least some ornaments -- At this point, I'll take what I can get for my aunt... she'll love it all!!!

I did not see any WWoHP Christmas items, but the stores were so crowded it was really hard to look around. They also move items around and put different items in different places - each day I found different tshirts in different parts of the park, and today I couldn't find the shirt I originally wanted to buy, but found another one I also liked that was not available the first two days of my visit.

You might also see what you can find out about your aunt's decorating tastes - I am also a huge HP fan and I like decorating Christmas trees, but I would not put HP ornaments on my Christmas tree. My trees usually have a specific style and color scheme, and I doubt any HP decorations would really fit.

Awesome! I love getting ornaments from every big trip we take. My tree is a memory tree with ornaments from my childhood, one for each of our children's Christmases, trips we have taken, and etc. This will be perfect!

I saw a few Christmas ornaments in the shop after the Journey w/ Harry ride. (9/11) damo is right though there were not many to choose from.

I didn't see any on my first trip last October, but on my second trip in March we found some in Filch's Emporium (the shop by the FJ ride). They're not that spectacular, honestly, but if you want an ornament (and I sure did!) they're better than nothing. I'm surprised they don't have a bigger and better selection -- seems like ornaments would sell really well, just like everything else at WWOHP.

(Now I'm kind of wondering if maybe some of the keychains -- 'cause they do have a ton of those! -- could be adapted for use as an ornament...)

My husband and I were disappointed in the Harry Potter merchandise. We did get mugs for our sons, and a Christmas ornament as our souvenir, but they only had 2 fridge magnets, both ugly (Dumbledore's army, and a proclamation frame). I was hoping for a themed shot glass, but they didn't have them.

We've seen a Hogwart's Crest magnet as well as the House Crest magnets. Different stores carry different merchandise. There's a deatheater's mask one as well, a Sirius Black Wanted Poster one and I really like the Sorting Hat one.
