Yes. He confirms I definitely can’t afford any of this stuff. Ignoring the fact that I’m in Sydney and in lockdown and places rarely ship to Australia for less than $70aud.
I have more willpower than that!! ...or do I? I've never sen merch this good!! I really want the blue phoenix hoodie, the Slytherin jacket and the Slytherin cardigan. I'm getting that Slytherin cardigan and wearing it all the time
@@ThePotterCollector Will you be there on opening day? I've had the trip planned for.months and am sad all my favorite potter heads are getting in early and assumedly leaving early
It's insane how a 20+ year old saga has this power over people. I love Harry Potter and your channel reminds me how good it is to be a Harry Potter fan. Thanks Peter!
As a Ravenclaw, I'm loving that I am finally starting to see some blue and bronze things appear! I like the blue and silver of the movies but I adore the blue and bronze of the books.
This place honestly looks amazing... But the big 'oof' that stood out to me was the price of the varsity jackets... $150 USD? As an Aussie, that's $193.95 AUD here... I have never in my lifetime seen a varsity jacket almost $200... Theming or not, that's a 'little' overpriced. Otherwise, awesome store; would be cool to see myself one day.
I’m with you. I had one “varisity” type jacket, in my life, and didn’t get it until I could get it through an “owner friend” so it was $100. Since it was cut off of me following a car accident, it’s very hard to justify ever spending that much on a jacket, again! 😂
I’m at Universal Studios and have the full Slytherin school uniform the robe by itself was massively expensive. The cardigan alone was $90 so it adds up.
I love how Peter just gets straight to business what we watchers came for and doesn't speak for 6 hours like other UA-camrs do. Amazing video man. Watched it through without skipping!
I just found out I’m going to NYC for a day and I’m going here and I was like “I need Peter to post a tour of this place.” Sure enough I get on UA-cam and here it is. Love the video and I’m glad you always include prices so we know what to expect!
Hey Peter! Just wanna say that I’m so thankful for your videos! For many of us Potterheads who aren’t able to be there to vicariously live it through you, that’s amazing! Love the content!
Yeah. He got me excited for a moment. My favorite merch is 9 3/4 because only potterheads know it, and it's not cringey looking. I thought there was going to be more subtle merch, but yeah, it all screamed Harry Potter lol.
Absolutely elevators are always just plain white or plain gray and they just take you out of the experience especially at Disney. They are always so clean and crisp and they feel like an underground factory when you’re experiencing the little mermaid
This magical tour was amazing! The detail that went into the store is phenomenal. I'm in love 😘 with the railing posts with the different character wands and that breathtaking archway of magical books. Thank you Peter,🤗 stay safe, healthy, and positive. 😷🧙♂️🙏
I was in NYC yesterday you have to make reservations folks that were waiting at 7am didn't get in store till 7pm!!! those were folks with tickets no thank you I'm not waiting from 4 am outside in NYC till 7at night !!!
I would have wanted the store to be more Diangon alley store -like, more old and not so modern so you really got that feeling of entering another world!
Harry Potter lane already has something like that… At least they HAVE this in New York, don’t chastise them for running THEIR STORE how THEY WANT. Plus people would want something different. If you can’t afford it don’t be a sucker about it. Let people enjoy it.
1:40 i love that blue case 1:50 ❤️ the hoodie too 9:20 🏆 the trophy 😍 14:00 the clock 😍 32:18 ❤️ the tote bag 😀🙏🏻 Hope someday i can visit New York 😊🙏🏻
That's a awesome store. I just wish that the West Coast or dotted around the country, would do something similar. Thank you Peter for not just filming this, but also editing it for long hours into the night last night. Thank you. Alonia143.
When he said a group of Bowtruckles is called a branch 'someone should alert Newt ' and at 16:48 he popped up on the screen , I was like ' omg' HAHAHAHAHAAA
Percy Jackson isn't even in the same league as Harry Potter. No offense, but HP is literally the most popular and successful Book series on the planet, I mean it's literally the best selling book series of all time, for Merlin's sake!!
I just love how detailed Peter’s reviews are! You wont really miss a thing as a viewer! I could actually see a poll where viewers vote him to review the store 💕
If only j.k. Rowling knew what her book was gonna become when she wrote the 1st one. She had no way of knowing the empire she was about to build for herself
YEAH! I mean, if she had, maybe she'd have spent more time figuring out the rules and intricacies! She contradicts herself A LOT and that makes it hard to know what the rules and knowns are. And I'm setting up my Drakonian Trilogy with that in mind. Every rule about WHY something works the way it does, of WHY Josie feels the way she feels, and HOW EXACTLY things happened to get to this EXACT POINT IN TIME with all of the players in their own situations and with their feelings is explained in my notes which I continuously refer back to from month to month to keep it straight. And I've been working on this series for 9 years now....there's a lot...

@@LunaNova1122 my thoughts precisely!!

But you can bet everything’s gonna flow and be deliberate once I decide on a path!
I can’t imagine how much money a die hard fan would spend in there. Gosh everything is too expensive but the detail of everything is so insane!!!! Omg I have never wanted to go to NY so badly!!
Wow! I spotted some items that have been discontinued from Universal Studios Orlando site, Pottery Barn Teen and Lounge Fly!😍 But I haven't seen them on the Harry Potter NYC shop site, so maybe they have become in-store exclusives for them🤔 hmm. I hope they get added on their site🤞 Wish I could have been at the opening! Thanks for the video Peter! ⚡💙
I don't know, I visited the HP store in London and wasn't that impressed. A lot of independent artisans make better HP inspired stuff (hand turned wands, toys, candies, clothes) that you can get at Wizarding festivals and on etsy that are higher quality than the officially licensed merchandise. It just lacks character for me. Like I'm not jumping up and down about any of this stuff. The experience of visiting the store looks pretty cool though. It's worth it just to ride the floo network elevator.
Yeah, it would be nice if at least *some* of the official merch got the Ravenclaw mascot and House colors right, too! It's almost like they *want* book fans to go unofficial!
I was thinking the same thing. The store decor is amazing with all its theming. But everything i have seen so far is for fans not for us who want to feel and be apart of the magic. Like were are the displays for Nobel Collection? And like you said get some independent creators in there to show off there talent like Danny DIY and others that can make legit prop replicas!!!! Give us more magic. They went far but for us HP fans its not far enough we want to step into the books and movies. Not just see them but experience them.
@@jessicaravenqueen768 Trouble is, they're too big and obvious, they can't get away with selling unofficial stuff without adding hefty licensing fees, which would jack up the price. Small fry on Etsy can get away with it because TPTB can pretend they don't know about them.
The Harry Potter store is not far from me, so I briefly checked it out. The items seem cheaply made and obscenely overpriced. Yes, it’s an interesting store and fun to check out, but a lot of the “collector items” seem pretty throw-away and something that will be gathering dust.
It’s things like these that really make me want to read the book more, tell me how I’ve never read any of the harry potter books, but I completely geeked out at Universal Studios in Orlando simply because I have friends who are potter heads 💀😭 I plan on reading the books this year & becoming a potter head ⚡️
GREAT video Peter! Thank you so much! I liked the gold and blue lunch box, the Butterbeer and mirror of Erised key chains, the interactive pensive and Bowtruckle peep holes, the great quality of their clothing material - hence the high prices - wow that varsity jacket was beautifully stitched! I loved the elevator, the carpet in the House and the Mina Lima sections.
This store is literally any Harry Potter superfan’s dream store!😍 They literally didn’t leave anything out and managed to make the littlest things feel and look so magical!⚡️ I absolutely loved the Ministry of Magic room, I love the green bricks. Truly amazing video Peter! I need to go now!✨🙌🏻
@@snusemcgoose1001 the original mascot is an eagle, but the films made it into a raven. I see why people would be annoyed but hey, more Mascots for us! Tho it is REALLY HARD to find blue and copper with an eagle merch
@@inmylifeivelovedthemall Oh gotcha Ive never read the books, not for any bad reason just never got to it, but wait so are they eagleclaws in the book? I’m a ravenclaw too
@@snusemcgoose1001 They are still Ravenclaws in the books, the word Ravenclaw comes from the founders name, Rowena Ravenclaw. The eagle is symbol of strength, immortality, intelligence, wit, wisdom, and creativity.
@@snusemcgoose1001 "Raven" is another word for black. Someone with black hair can have "raven tresses" for example. The eagle has black claws, hence Ravenclaw. But apparently the people at Warner Brothers are semi-illiterate and stopped reading after the first few letters, and never read the books at all. In the books, the Ravenclaw colors are blue and bronze, it's Slytherin that have white/silver as one of their colors. We're **not** Slytherin! I refuse to buy merch that can't even get our colors and mascot right, and I can't tell you how much money it's saved me!
The problem with Harry Potter is that its story focuses too much on Gryffindor and Slytherin. I would love to see more of all four houses competing with each other
I mean...I am in awe. The store of dreams! I've watched the video twice my eyes can't keep up with all the amazing merchandise. We have booked to go to WBS Tours London next month but this has to be on the bucket list. Another fab video, I could of walked round there with you for DAYS
You made me feel like I was there... I really appreciate your attention to detail and the effort you make to make it a experience for all of us fellow Potter fans as well.
I love that the carved Hogwarts crest on the wall has the proper eagle on it! A pity most of the merch for sale seems to have the wrong House mascot and colors. I had such high hopes that at least a *few* of the items here would be something a *book* fan could buy...it's an *eagle* and blue and *bronze* ! I would buy *so* much merch if I could get my proper House colors and mascot!
Is it weird to be in love with an elevator? Because I’m pretty sure I am. The attention to detail is superb, things like the wands in the railings, what a feast for the eyes! I look forward to seeing your other vids of the store, and your haul.
Thanks for showing us this amazing store, Peter! Great video as always! But...some of the merchandise is WAY over priced! I sat here gasping in shock every time you mentioned a price! I used to work for Warner Bros Studio Stores many years ago, and when they first got the licence for Harry Potter, the products were much more reasonably priced! I think over the years WB have got a little greedy with their pricing - they’ll come with with some excuse as to why some products are priced that way, but $12 for a keyring, $70+ for a spirit jersey and $30 for a tee is ridiculous!
Thank you for taking the time to videotape such a marvelous tour! I am curious: did you check out the restrooms? It would be fabulous if the details were also done there as well.
Pretty sure it’s illegal to film in restrooms, but I would be very surprised if they didn’t include some fun references based on what we’ve seen in the vid lol
Thank you so much for this thorough tour of the store. I'm sure there are plenty of Harry Potter fans out there like myself who will never visit the USA in their life and we really appreciate you making your videos and sharing them with us. I loved every minute of it. ♥ ☺
I wish Harry Potter stuff like this had existed in 2001 when the films first came out There’s so much merchandise & tours & theme parks now! *Growing up in the 00s I would’ve absolutely loved all that stuff* us millennials missed out on all these great things! 🥺 ✨🔮 🪄 ⚡️✨
As someone who deals with product-making, those sets and props are so beautiful! It's always a dream of mine to work with the props department of HP! I hope the covid situation goes away soon because I cannot wait to travel the world again! This stop will definitely be on my bucket list! Thank you for doing this tour! Really appreciate it so much~
Thanks for doing a walkthrough. You did an awesome job in showcasing what the store has to offer, and thanks for stating the prices of items too. I loved all the interactive stuff. The pensieve wand was so cool, especially with the part when you hold onto both Harry's and Voldemort's wands! I was also blown away by the elevators and the floo network!! Amazing. It would be a dream to come to this store. I don't even need to buy anything to be happy because the store itself is such a fun experience, but of course, how can one not be tempted to buy something, lol.
Your fully detailed video is very enjoyable to watch for people like me not living in New York and no choice but to watch review tours like this. And by far the best tour video of the store. Kuddos to you.
Yes! I'm in a tiny place, half-kitchen, half bedroom/living room. I watch House Hunters International and think, "I could rent a house over there for less money!" But it is completely worth it! NYC is the best
Well if you look for houses in Manhattan you’re just setting yourself up for failure. Get a house in Brooklyn. It’s a lot cheaper and you can just take the subway.
@@tinyylasagna1569 I know from living in Boston that I usually stay right in my neighborhood! So if I lived in Brooklyn (which is a great place) I wouldn't walk around midtown, etc very much. For me it's worth it to pay more
@@lazyhomebody1356 I totally get ur point of view but like if u wanna hang out in Mid-Town and you live in Brooklyn, don’t pay a stupid amount of like 8,500-12,000 a month simply to be in mid town. Like, just take the subway yknow? My friends art studio is in Brooklyn and she hangs out a lot in Manhattan.
@@tinyylasagna1569 the problem is Brooklyn is becoming more popular. I have a friend who’s neighbor recently sold their house- 1.5 mil for 2 bed 1 bath in a ok neighborhood but not like DUMBO or anything
I'm going to start using "The Niffler living inside me" now 😂 If there's an option that is shiny somehow, it's the one I always want! Lovely tour Peter! Thank you for taking us with you. Spotted some awesome friends in the background, happy they were there too! 💖

Varsity jackets are more of an American thing, so it would be more expensive in America. Plus they lose their appeal if everyone has one
Good point, it's great we "can try them on," purchase isn't necessary 😂

This whole store is stunning, but calling the personalization section “Things That Must Be Named” is next level *chefs kiss* 🤌🏻
I would need to be rich to go to this store 'cause I want to buy everything.

Like were are the displays for Nobel Collection? And like you said get some independent creators in there to show off there talent like Danny DIY and others that can make legit prop replicas!!!! Give us more magic. They went far but for us HP fans its not far enough we want to step into the books and movies. Not just see them but experience them.
@@jessicaravenqueen768 Trouble is, they're too big and obvious, they can't get away with selling unofficial stuff without adding hefty licensing fees, which would jack up the price. Small fry on Etsy can get away with it because TPTB can pretend they don't know about them.
The Harry Potter store is not far from me, so I briefly checked it out. The items seem cheaply made and obscenely overpriced. Yes, it’s an interesting store and fun to check out, but a lot of the “collector items” seem pretty throw-away and something that will be gathering dust.
Lol, there will be soooooo many Prof. Snape wands personalized with “Always”.
And "Pg. 394"
its so creepy 😭
Ob………viously
There's so many details from the MinaLima Store in London, I can't wait to get in there!!
It’s things like these that really make me want to read the book more, tell me how I’ve never read any of the harry potter books, but I completely geeked out at Universal Studios in Orlando simply because I have friends who are potter heads 💀😭 I plan on reading the books this year & becoming a potter head ⚡️
GREAT video Peter! Thank you so much! I liked the gold and blue lunch box, the Butterbeer and mirror of Erised key chains, the interactive pensive and Bowtruckle peep holes, the great quality of their clothing material - hence the high prices - wow that varsity jacket was beautifully stitched! I loved the elevator, the carpet in the House and the Mina Lima sections.
The detail level of this store is infinity!
This store is literally any Harry Potter superfan’s dream store!😍 They literally didn’t leave anything out and managed to make the littlest things feel and look so magical!⚡️ I absolutely loved the Ministry of Magic room, I love the green bricks. Truly amazing video Peter! I need to go now!✨🙌🏻
Im a Ravenclaw and it really bothers me seeing the merchandising with a raven instead of an eagle. I think Im never gonna used to
Wait did they change which bird it was?
@@snusemcgoose1001 the original mascot is an eagle, but the films made it into a raven. I see why people would be annoyed but hey, more Mascots for us! Tho it is REALLY HARD to find blue and copper with an eagle merch
@@inmylifeivelovedthemall Oh gotcha Ive never read the books, not for any bad reason just never got to it, but wait so are they eagleclaws in the book? I’m a ravenclaw too
@@snusemcgoose1001 They are still Ravenclaws in the books, the word Ravenclaw comes from the founders name, Rowena Ravenclaw. The eagle is symbol of strength, immortality, intelligence, wit, wisdom, and creativity.
@@snusemcgoose1001 "Raven" is another word for black. Someone with black hair can have "raven tresses" for example. The eagle has black claws, hence Ravenclaw. But apparently the people at Warner Brothers are semi-illiterate and stopped reading after the first few letters, and never read the books at all. In the books, the Ravenclaw colors are blue and bronze, it's Slytherin that have white/silver as one of their colors. We're **not** Slytherin! I refuse to buy merch that can't even get our colors and mascot right, and I can't tell you how much money it's saved me!
I love the design of the store, there's so much to look at.
The problem with Harry Potter is that its story focuses too much on Gryffindor and Slytherin. I would love to see more of all four houses competing with each other
Yeah, we barely saw any Hufflepuffs beyond Cedric. The only prominent Ravenclaw was Luna Abe to a lesser extent Cho.
Yesssss!! 200% agree.
@@anonnyanonymous4800 Don't forget Tonks, she was a Hufflepuff too 🖤
I mean...I am in awe. The store of dreams! I've watched the video twice my eyes can't keep up with all the amazing merchandise. We have booked to go to WBS Tours London next month but this has to be on the bucket list. Another fab video, I could of walked round there with you for DAYS
The word “store” is too little of a word for that place. Just WOW!!!
I also see Mindy and Larry!! 👋
You made me feel like I was there... I really appreciate your attention to detail and the effort you make to make it a experience for all of us fellow Potter fans as well.
This store is so amazing! One day when I go to New York, I'll visit this store.
I love that the carved Hogwarts crest on the wall has the proper eagle on it! A pity most of the merch for sale seems to have the wrong House mascot and colors. I had such high hopes that at least a *few* of the items here would be something a *book* fan could buy...it's an *eagle* and blue and *bronze* ! I would buy *so* much merch if I could get my proper House colors and mascot!
The attention to detail in the store is spectacular! 🤩 Thank you so much for letting us live the magic through you!⚡
Any time! :D
Is it weird to be in love with an elevator? Because I’m pretty sure I am.
The attention to detail is superb, things like the wands in the railings, what a feast for the eyes!
I look forward to seeing your other vids of the store, and your haul.
If it’s weird, then I guess I’m weird because I love it too! Genius idea!
Thanks for showing us this amazing store, Peter! Great video as always!
But...some of the merchandise is WAY over priced! I sat here gasping in shock every time you mentioned a price!
I used to work for Warner Bros Studio Stores many years ago, and when they first got the licence for Harry Potter, the products were much more reasonably priced! I think over the years WB have got a little greedy with their pricing - they’ll come with with some excuse as to why some products are priced that way, but $12 for a keyring, $70+ for a spirit jersey and $30 for a tee is ridiculous!
Can you email me? I'd love to chat about the old WB Stores and how they were set up, etc. Do you have any photos?? thepottercollector@gmail.com
@@ThePotterCollector hi peter im new can you pls tell me where can i find some hp collecting stuff
Thank you for taking the time to videotape such a marvelous tour! I am curious: did you check out the restrooms? It would be fabulous if the details were also done there as well.
Pretty sure it’s illegal to film in restrooms, but I would be very surprised if they didn’t include some fun references based on what we’ve seen in the vid lol
Thanks Peter for the tour. I'm definitely going soon. I can't wait. I love Manhattan and it just even better
Oh my stars! This store is outstanding. Love what they did with the elevator. Genius❣️ Thanks Peter 💖
I feel like if you ever make any merch of your own a good phrase for it would be “Magic happens when you least expect it”
I love this!
Thank you so much for this thorough tour of the store.
I'm sure there are plenty of Harry Potter fans out there like myself who will never visit the USA in their life and we really appreciate you making your videos and sharing them with us.
I loved every minute of it. ♥ ☺
I’m definitely dragging my best friend to New York to go on a shopping spree with me here
I wish Harry Potter stuff like this had existed in 2001 when the films first came out
There’s so much merchandise & tours & theme parks now!
*Growing up in the 00s I would’ve absolutely loved all that stuff*
us millennials missed out on all these great things! 🥺
✨🔮 🪄 ⚡️✨
I am gonna be BROKE after visiting, oh god😂🙈
Some point in the future there will be moving pictures on shirts, photo albums, and photo frames... I'll be waiting for Peter to give that tour!
Thank you so much Peter for editing the whole video in record time and for always sharing with us the latest from the wizarding world :')✨
I may have broken my editing record. :D
As someone who deals with product-making, those sets and props are so beautiful! It's always a dream of mine to work with the props department of HP! I hope the covid situation goes away soon because I cannot wait to travel the world again! This stop will definitely be on my bucket list! Thank you for doing this tour! Really appreciate it so much~
Thanks for doing a walkthrough. You did an awesome job in showcasing what the store has to offer, and thanks for stating the prices of items too. I loved all the interactive stuff. The pensieve wand was so cool, especially with the part when you hold onto both Harry's and Voldemort's wands! I was also blown away by the elevators and the floo network!! Amazing. It would be a dream to come to this store. I don't even need to buy anything to be happy because the store itself is such a fun experience, but of course, how can one not be tempted to buy something, lol.
Since I saw the prices, I expect gold flakes on every item there.
Not me thinking on going on a 3 or 4 day trip to NY just to go to this store, I will go crazy in there, this is so magical and beautiful
I've always wanted to go to New York. And now this gives me another reason to!
“You all know there’s a niffler that lives inside me” 🤣🤣
Your fully detailed video is very enjoyable to watch for people like me not living in New York and no choice but to watch review tours like this. And by far the best tour video of the store. Kuddos to you.
“Ferb I know what we’re going to do today!”
LOL
That is one episode I would actually watch!!!
Me: “This place is so amazing! I want to live there.”
*Looks up apartments in New York. Sees the prices.*
*Cries and dies internally*
Yes! I'm in a tiny place, half-kitchen, half bedroom/living room. I watch House Hunters International and think, "I could rent a house over there for less money!" But it is completely worth it! NYC is the best
Well if you look for houses in Manhattan you’re just setting yourself up for failure. Get a house in Brooklyn. It’s a lot cheaper and you can just take the subway.
@@tinyylasagna1569 I know from living in Boston that I usually stay right in my neighborhood! So if I lived in Brooklyn (which is a great place) I wouldn't walk around midtown, etc very much. For me it's worth it to pay more
@@lazyhomebody1356 I totally get ur point of view but like if u wanna hang out in Mid-Town and you live in Brooklyn, don’t pay a stupid amount of like 8,500-12,000 a month simply to be in mid town. Like, just take the subway yknow? My friends art studio is in Brooklyn and she hangs out a lot in Manhattan.
@@tinyylasagna1569 the problem is Brooklyn is becoming more popular. I have a friend who’s neighbor recently sold their house- 1.5 mil for 2 bed 1 bath in a ok neighborhood but not like DUMBO or anything
I'm going to start using "The Niffler living inside me" now 😂 If there's an option that is shiny somehow, it's the one I always want! Lovely tour Peter! Thank you for taking us with you. Spotted some awesome friends in the background, happy they were there too! 💖
I'm always amazed just how popular Harry Potter became and still is. ❤
It's heaven! it's freakin' heaven OMG!!!! So amazing!
im just putting time stamps so i can show my dad the only things he would absolutely love to convince him so i can go here at least on my birthday😭😭

Thanks for waiting! :D
You did a magical job with this video! Thanks and cheers! Can’t wait to go 🧙🏼♀️
I’m so sad I was in New York 5 days ago and I passed the building. I wish I could of been there for opening day
Here we go . Guess after Florida I'm off to NY 😂
🤣🤣
Book that plane ticket! :D
@@ThePotterCollector 🤭Yesss...
GREAT video! Thank you so much, Peter!!
@@ThePotterCollector Looking for best time to head to Florida next year. Get that vacations at work 😂
Man, I really love Harry Potter and that’s why I love your videos!
Every Time you upload a video it makes my day,
Keep up the great work!
