Hi folks! Heading to Universal in 2 weeks for the first time since 2011. I'm creating a Harry Potter Christmas tree this year, and I was wondering which gift shop is the best for purchasing ornaments? Appreciate the advice!
I usually get mine in the back corner (HP section) of the main gift shop in the IoA entrance area. I think there were more styles in the Christmas shop and the Filch's shop (exit from Forbidden Journey), but I always buy the same style of flat ornament, and they are in nearly every shop, so I buy them when everyone else is shopping in the big shop (we usually use the AAA discount, and there was a minimum purchase to get the discount...$50 I think)
I've not seen any place that offers...but I never looked for it particularly. If some store would, I would assume it would be in the Christmas themed shop in the entrance of IoA.
The big Islands Trading Company store on your left as you enter IOA has some of the oranmanets, but it was the only one that carried the pretty round white and gold ornament that had pictures of the main characters. Not all stores sell the same ornaments. When I was there in January they had the flat ones they have sold for awhile and this new round white and gold one and also they have them of the Hogwarts train now.
Not a very good pic, but gives you a idea
