That’s cool i guess it was getting crowded. btw first!!

Lord knows they needed to! I spent 3 hours in the rain to get a wand this summer… it was still worth it! :)

That’s sounds good.
I’ve heard from people that it’s a reaaally long wait. So, that should cut down queuing times.

It’s good that they are expanding it! It was defiantly very crowded as it was.

That’s awesome :D
Can’t wait to take a trip over there and get my wand :D

Thank goodness! they needed to do that! ive hear that the crowd/queue to get in to Olivander’s has been horrendous!

sweet! i still haven’t been, but i hope i can go soon :)

That’s really cool! I wish I was going! My family is trying to plan a trip before my sister and I move out and we might go there! fingers crossed!

Yeah, I’d say that was long overdue. The wait when I went there was about 40 minutes just to get in, and once inside, you were like crammed sardines nose to nose with everyone, and the actual room with the wands is tiny. Now they need to add more shops! They have plenty of buildings that you can’t go inside yet.

i might be going next year!! can’t wait!!!!!!! :D:D:D

I was there on a ‘shoulder season’ weekend in early November, and the wait was still about an hour-and-a-half. What was disappointing to me was that even after that long a wait, only one person in each group of 20 or so actually gets to have a wand-trying-out session with ‘Ollivander’ – all the rest just watch. I suppose that if everyone got their turn, the wait would be many hours; but still, the hype that WB originally put out made it sound like everyone would get the hands-on experience. The expansion they’re proposing now won’t change that aspect – just allow a bit more elbow room in the store part. In fact, if all you want to do is browse the store and buy a wand, you can skip the line and come in through the back door – or buy a wand off one of the wagons on the street, which offer the same selection. All that the 1 1/2-hour wait gets you is the chance to watch somebody else ‘try out’ wands for about 2 minutes.

I went during Thanksgiving week, and it was packed! The stores were really crowded. There was a line to get into Dervish and Banges! I ended up not going to Ollivanders since there was a long wait, and I just picked out a wand for myself. :) I’m glad they expanded it. The park is amazing, but during the day it was super duper packed. However, after around 7pm it was considerably less crowded because a lot of younger kids and family had gone home to rest so I was able to get into the Owl Post shop and choose a wand there. In the owl post shop, there are 13 wands (when I was there) to choose from.

I went during opening week and it took 3 hours to get into Ollivanders! That is very smart of them to expand it!

I just got back from there. It was amazing, but I didn’t get to go into Olivander’s :( They were STILL super busy. I wish they woul expand that entire area and the shops, because none of them are big enough to accomodate the crowds.
