Wizarding World of Harry Potter's Ollivanders Wand Shop
Make sure you plan a stop at Ollivanders Wand Shop while visiting Universal Orlando Resort. Ollivanders is a great souvenir stop for guests of all ages. Just as the wands choose the wizard in the movies, you can have the same experience here. Guests and other onlookers will enjoy this short show as the wand chooses the wizard! There is an Ollivanders Wand Shop in both Universal Studios at Diagon Alley and Islands of Adventure at Hogsmeade, so you will never have to worry about missing out. Wands sold from Ollivanders are not just props though; wands can be purchased that are interactive throughout the Wizarding World of Harry Potter.

This event is a special way to conclude an evening at Disney's Animal Kingdom.
