Patiently waited for this store to open in Chicago and so glad I waited in line!! Here are some photos of the shop (: They had some yummy treats wnd butterbeer on draft!

Inspired by another person's post I wanted to share my experience of the store. 1) Definitely go on a weekday if you can, no lines to get in, not too much crowd in the store so you can peruse at your leisure, there might be a line at checkout but it moves along rather quickly, 2) if you're getting the butterbeer and you're not a fan of fizzy drinks then I'd suggest going for the frozen butterbeer or the butterbeer flavored ice cream, the one from the draft is nice but it's the foam that makes it nice rather than the drink itself, the tankard of butterbeer that you get either frozen or from the draft is $14 and it's not very big, picture attached, however you do get to keep the cup/tankard, 3) they have some really cool HP Store Chicago exclusive merch there, 4) staff are nice and friendly. Overall a nice experience with me definitely overspending on little trinkets.

So my niece is turning eleven in March and I’m thinking of booking a trip for her to experience the new Harry Potter store since she’s a huge fan. For those who’ve been, is it worth it? Also does it cost to enter? If so how much? I checked their website and there doesn’t seem to be much info regarding admission. So I figured I’d ask here.
