House of MinaLima (with Harry Potter exhibition), London

Meet Miraphora Mina and Eduardo Lima鈥攂etter known in wizarding circles as MinaLima. This magical design duo didn鈥檛 just sprinkle a little fairy dust on the Harry Potter films鈥攖hey conjured up the entire graphic identity. Every Hogwarts acceptance letter, every Weasley鈥檚 Wizard Wheezes package, every screaming Daily Prophet headline鈥攚ere all MinaLima. They practically gave the wizarding world its handwriting.

After the film series wrapped, the pair didn鈥檛 just vanish like a disillusionment charm. No, they opened The House of MinaLima鈥攁 four-story spellbinding boutique-meets-gallery dedicated to all things wizard-printed鈥攊n the heart of London.

On the ground floor, you鈥檒l find a cozy little shop stuffed with magical loot: charming notebooks, cheeky mugs, glittering badges, and storybook prints that look straight out of the Restricted Section.

Climb a few creaky steps and the real magic begins: three full floors of original graphic props from the films, from Quibblers to Quidditch posters to textbook replicas that would make Hermione weep with joy. And yes, pretty much everything鈥檚 for sale鈥攕o whether you鈥檙e on a Muggle鈥檚 budget or ready to splash some Gringotts gold, there鈥檚 a souvenir waiting for you.

In short: if Diagon Alley had a graphic design department, this would be it.
