Harry Potter merchandise

[snowwhite84]

Hi all. I was wondering if someone could tell me whether or not there is Harry Potter merchandise for sale at either US or IOA. I will be there in a month, and a friend asked if I could pick her up some Harry Potter goodies, but I wasn't sure if I would be able to find anything.
Any ideas?

I haven't seen any yet. The Simpsons merchandise and characters are now in the park but no sign of Harry Potter merchandise.

We were @ Universal June 22-24 and didn't see any HP merchandise. As a matter of fact, I didn't even see any signs announcing HP coming. I thought for sure we would have seen a banner or some other signage.

We just returned from Universal yesterday and didn't see any mention of HP rides and no merchandise. The "Back to the Future" store is still open at US and selling BTTF merchandise (even though the ride is closed)! We found that funny - no one was in that store when we walked by.

Im going to guess thats because if people see that sign like "Harry Potter opening in 2009", they'll skip a year before returning if somehow they missed the news release about it. Im sure once it gets closer we'll see more activity about the franchise. Lets not forget that the final book has a month before its released as well.

Well, Deathly Hallows is out as well as the order's movie.

Anyone knows if now there is any merchandise of HP on IOA?

I expected they would make some kind of mini-store with merchandise and a miniature preview of what the new area would be like. Maybe between Lost Continent and Dr Seuss.

As of Sunday, nothing. No HP stuff anywhere, though the mystic fountain keeps making HP references, and some of the staff will be sure to announce that IOA is the future home of Hogwartz.

Someone is selling Harry Potter merchandise as i've seen both Harry Potter toys, Harry Potter hats, and a Harry Potter neck scarf. They still had the price tags on them and were in Universal Studios plastic souvenir (merchandise) bags. They were left (lost) in the park at Universal Studios on different rides. Possible they were purchased in Citywalk but I don't know where yet.

I'm going on December and I'd love to get some HP stuff for my DGF and her little brother.
