House of MinaLima (with Harry Potter exhibition), London
Meet Miraphora Mina and Eduardo Lima-better known in wizarding circles as MinaLima. This magical design duo didn’t just sprinkle a little fairy dust on the Harry Potter films-they conjured up the entire graphic identity. Every Hogwarts acceptance letter, every Weasley’s Wizard Wheezes package, every screaming Daily Prophet headline-were all MinaLima. They practically gave the wizarding world its handwriting.
After the film series wrapped, the pair didn’t just vanish like a disillusionment charm. No, they opened The House of MinaLima-a four-story spellbinding boutique-meets-gallery dedicated to all things wizard-printed-in the heart of London.
On the ground floor, you’ll 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’s for sale-so whether you’re on a Muggle’s budget or ready to splash some Gringotts gold, there’s a souvenir waiting for you.
In short: if Diagon Alley had a graphic design department, this would be it.
