Hamleys launches new floor dedicated to Harry Potter – but the prices aren’t cheap
The iconic toy store has converted the ground floor into one that's stocked entirely with Harry Potter goodies
HARRY Potter fans looking to stock up their trunks before the new term at Hogwarts starts are in for a treat because Hamleys has dedicated an entire floor to the wizarding world.
You'll be able to pick up cloaks, quills and spell books from the Regents Street store but you'll need to go to Gringotts first because it's pretty expensive.

The toy store has converted a 3000 square foot space on the lower ground floor into a Diagon Alley style store, where a team of experts will be giving demos of the toys every day.
Quidditch players might be able to buy a golden snitch that actually flies but you'll need to fork out £48 for it.
The Golden Snitch Heliball uses sensors which makes it hover in the air and magically fly away when your hand goes near it, making it great for practising Seekers.
Luckily, there is a cheaper version on offer too which is powered by a remote control but you'll still need to pay £27.
