Photos: Nintendo, ‘Harry Potter’ store + Butterbeer now at Universal CityWalk Orlando
The Universal Studios Store at Orlando’s CityWalk expanded with more merchandise for Nintendo and “Harry Potter” — plus Butterbeer.
Universal Studios Store expansion with Nintendo, Wizarding World
The Universal CityWalk shopping and dining district in Orlando, Fla. expanded its flagship Universal Studios Store on May 8, 2025 with wings devoted entirely to Super Nintendo World and The Wizarding World of Harry Potter.
The store sells the “second-generation” Wizarding World of Harry Potter wands that debuted earlier this year. Visitors can also try out various wands before purchasing
In addition to merchandise, the expanded section will also offer Butterbeer (served cold or frozen), marking the first time the signature beverage has been sold outside of a theme park at Universal Orlando. Seeing as CityWalk doesn’t charge an admission fee, this is quite a perk for guests visiting CityWalk without theme park tickets. (Remember, Butterbeer Season continues through May 31.)
Location of new Nintendo, ‘Harry Potter’ retail
These new Nintendo and “Harry Potter” areas occupy the real estate formerly home to Quiet Flight Surf Shop and Cinnabon, both of which closed in 2024 and were adjacent to the existing Universal Studios Store.

Moe’s Southwest Grill, Panda Express, and Burger King Whopper Bar — located above the former Quiet Flight and Cinnabon — remain open with no operational changes expected.
The Epic Universe effect
The “Potter” area of the Univrsal Studios Store spotlights all three of Orlando’s Wizarding Worlds: Hogsmeade, Diagon Alley, and the upcoming Ministry of Magic. The latter, along with Super Nintendo World, will officially open on May 22 as part of the new Universal Epic Universe theme park.
A selection of merchandise is also available through Universal’s online shop.
