Two Amazing VR Experiences at the Harry Potter New York Store

When the kids are away, the moms will play! I had the opportunity to preview the two VR experiences in the Harry Potter New York store. “Chaos at Hogwarts” and “Wizards Take Flight.” are two completely unique experiences where you enter the Virtual Reality world like you have never done before.
Take flight with the help of Hagrid and join Dobby in Hogwarts to completely immerse yourself into a world you have grown to love through books, movies, and now VR.

The full sensory adventures, made in partnership with VR masters Dreamscape and Wevr, allow real-time interactive exploration of Hogwarts Castle.  I have never felt as immersed into the Hogwarts experience as I did on this journey into Hogwarts.

Chaos at Hogwarts

“Chaos at Hogwarts” lets hopeful witches and wizards step into a magical journey to roam Hogwarts Castle and become part of the adventure where magical creatures and secrets await. Enter Hogwarts and help Dobby on the adventure of a lifetime!

Here we are gearing up before our adventure at Hogwarts begins.  I did not realize how fun this would be and my mom was just as amazed too!

Wizards Take Flight

“Wizards Take Flight” prepares guests to fly on brooms with the thrills of a magical wand battle against Death Eaters over the skies of London and around the enchanting grounds of Hogwarts Castle. Choose your own Harry Potter avatar and prepare to join the adventure!

The Harry Potter New York store is located at 22nd St between 5th Ave and Broadway at 935 Broadway, New York, NY 10010.   Spanning three floors and over 21,000 sq. ft., Harry Potter New York features 15 different themed areas, each one carefully and uniquely presented to bring the magic of the Wizarding World to life.

Virtual Reality officially opens to the public today, July 15 so book your tickets soon to enjoy these two new VR experiences.  This is definitely an experience to plan ahead for as tickets are selling out quickly.

I must say that the store is also an absolutely amazing experience filled with everything for Harry Potter and Fantastic Beasts fans of all ages.

  1. That is fully awesome! I’m a HUGE fan of Harry Potter, so these two new VR experiences – and the entire store, in general – are directly up my alley. That sounds amazing.

  5. How exciting! Our daughter is a huge Harry Potter fan and we hope to be able to travel to New York at some stage in the near future so will have to check this out.

  6. This is so nice. I’m not exactly a Harry Potter fan although I liked some of the movies I saw. I’m sure fans will enjoy these two new VR experiences.

  9. I had no idea New York had a Harry Potter store! This looks like such a fun experience!

  15. Those are such great photos and I can’t wait to go here one day.I loved watching Harry Potter movies with my family.
