A new store themed around magic and wizards has opened on Lord Street.

Ministry of Wizards celebrated its grand opening today, Friday, July 5, at 3pm. The store is a collection of quirky items from the world of magic, witches and wizards and acts as Liverpool’s first Harry Potter-themed store.




Staff have been working on designing the interiors since April 15 but hundreds have gathered every day lately to catch a glimpse of the magic before the opening.

The store has been transformed into a scene from Diagon Alley, with books piled high on the floor, replicas of the Hogwarts train, robes hanging on the walls and a range of antique trinkets dotted around.
