Two New VR Experiences at the Harry Potter New York Store

Are you ready for the new VR experiences at the Harry Potter New York Store?

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!

 

 If you don’t know what Hogwarts house you’re in, be sure to get sorted HERE so you can represent your house in virtual reality!

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.

So happy to kick off the holiday season with @macy So happy to kick off the holiday season with @macys and Santa! Last night, we took the train into the city to preview #Macys #Santaland I have to say it was quite magical. Although my youngest was 12, Santa was able to connect to her and put us all in the holiday spirit. 

I believe. I believe….

My mom also came with us. We started talking and I think it was almost 40 years ago that she took us to visit Santa at Macys. I was so happy to visit Santa with her and my youngest for a three generation experience.

Don’t forget to check out the beautiful window displays as you enjoy all of #NYC during the holidays!

#ad Mental health isn’t talked about enough, but #ad Mental health isn’t talked about enough, but 1 in 5 adults suffer from mental illness and disorders today. 

Let’s reduce the stigma by opening up the conversation in the classroom and at home.
As a teacher and a mom of 3, I know how important it is to be there and be a good listener.

Conversations are super important. It’s never too early (or too late) to have these conversations with your students or your own children.

Operation Conversation is a check-in on kids’ mental health. When we start simple habits of conversations, we can learn about concerns or problems our students are dealing with, help them problem solve, and build their confidence for life’s difficult moments. 

Teachers can help to destigmatize mental health starting in their own classrooms by talking to their students about mental health using a free deck of conversation starter cards. Parents can also use these cards to support good conversations while at home. I know as a mom, I can use all the help I can get. 

#Giveaway Alert! 
I have 5 decks of Conversation Starter Decks of cards to give away to 5 lucky winners to help you get the conversation flowing! 

To enter:
1. Comment on this post as to why you would love the conversation starter deck of cards. 
 2. Follow @OnOurSleevesOfficial
3. Follow me @SavvyMomNY  I will pick the winners after 10pm on 11/22

Took a little trip upstate 💚 Visiting my oldest Took a little trip upstate 💚 Visiting my oldest and touring her sister on first college visit. Maybe it’s a sign that they should be together. Totally bittersweet and we went to visit Binghamton in October 2019 and only made it to two more before March 2020. I’m only thinking of bright skies ahead for the both of them filled with amazing memories and wonderful opportunities 💚
Thank you @baketivity for sending us the Duff Mons Thank you @baketivity for sending us the Duff Monster Cupcakes box. My teen loves to bake and the was perfect for her to get creative and try out new decorating idea with her cupcake monsters. We loved that the kit had everything she needed and detailed step-by-step directions too! @duffgoldman #baking #cupcakes #cupcakemonster #cupcakedecorating #teenswhobake #halloween #bakingforkids #bakingkits

New York state has so many wonderful places to be New York state has so many wonderful places to be a part of . From the bright lights of NYC, to quiet places of respite in its parks and wooded areas. Time to walk, hike and reflect. Being active and busy is something that I hope my teens learn from and something we can do together to enjoy all the beauty and nature it has to offer while keeping NY tobacco free. Did you know that our oldest generation of smokers are now dying? After them, you have me and a very large group of people who do not smoke at all. So, who’s next? Instead of taking cigarettes off the shelves, the tobacco industry views today’s teens as tomorrow’s customers, using menthol-flavored products to attract and addict kids – and it’s working. More than half (54%) of youth who smoke (ages 12-17 years) use menthol cigarettes. making it easier for kids to start and harder for them to quit. Menthol is not JUST a flavor, it attracts and addicts kids As a teen mom, I am sharing this so we can all take action! Learn more about the impact of Big Tobacco’s manipulative tactics on our communities and how you can take action to help end this injustice. Let’s keep our kids enjoying the wonderful things our state has to offer. Link in bio #NotJustMenthol #TobaccoFreeNYS #ad @tobaccofreenys
