We are now just a few days away from one of the most exciting events of the year, the release of Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them!
18 November will not only be seeing the release of one of the most awaited movies (Mr. Yates, it’s been a long 5 years since the last Harry Potter movie), but also the publication of its screenplay.
To all the Potterheads in London, here are seven fun ways to celebrate the release:
The Miralima store in Soho was opened a couple of years ago by two of the movie series’ graphic designers.
The store is famous for selling Harry Potter memorabilia, including limited edition prints, stationery and posters.
The open exhibition showcases 15 years of creative collaborations in graphic designs, including authentic film props on loan from the Warner Bros. Studio Tour.
The exhibition is free and open everyday until February 4th 2017.
The only authorized online shop, the website will be selling exclusive movie t-shirts will be sold until the opening day on 18 November.
The website also exclusive merchandise including mugs, stationery, jewellery, clothes and magic wands (to the joy of your inner 11-year-old waiting to go to Hogwarts).
Alternatively you can just visit the 9 3/4 shop at King’s Cross St Pancras Station.
The movie website has been created in partnership with Google to offer fans the greatest experience.

Relive the excitement of the first 8 movies by strolling through Diagon Alley, Privet Drive and Dumbledore’s office by the Harry Potter Studio Tour.
