Why Oxford Street
Oxford Street draws around half a million visitors each day, according to The Standard. The new shop will sit alongside existing Warner Bros attractions in London, including the Studio Tour in Leavesden and the smaller Harry Potter shop at King’s Cross Station.
Karl Durrant, Warner Bros senior vice president of worldwide retail, said: "Following the success of our Harry Potter shops around the globe, opening the Harry Potter Shop in London is a truly special milestone." He added that the city is where Harry Potter’s story began, making it the ideal location for a flagship store.
