In the 'Wizarding World of Harry Potter,' Diagon Alley holds all the stores that provide wizards with everything they need -- recently, a new Owl Post store opens at theme parks for guests to immerse themselves in the magical experience. Visitors are able to purchase their Harry Potter-themed merchandise throughout the parks and bring them to the Owl Post locations found in either Hogsmeade or Diagon Alley.
There, guests can choose their preferred wrapping option and have it mailed to anywhere in the US. The first wrapping option comes with twine and stamps, the second features an additional wax seal. Notably, most but not all of the merchandise from the Wizarding World of Harry Potter can be wrapped and packaged -- the service excludes oversized items, food, beverages, and items outside of Harry Potter themes.
