2. THE NOBLE COLLECTION
For Harry Potter fans, one of the most magical things to happen in the books is when the boy wizard visits Olivander’s wand shop for the first time. Sadly, it’s not something us muggles are going to be able to do anytime soon, but the next best thing is a trip to The Noble Collection in The Dubai Mall. Tucked away in a corner near Kidzania, you can pick up all manner of Hogwarts-related memorabilia in this shop, including your own wand. Our other favourites included a chess set based on a scene from Harry Potter And The Philosopher’s Stone, and a Time-Turner based on the time-travelling trinket from Harry Potter And The Prisoner of Azkaban.
