House of MinaLima, London

Miraphora Mina & Eduardo Lima (Mina + Lima = MinaLima) are a team of graphic designers who helped create the world of Harry Potter - the style, graphics and the majority of props for all the Potter movies. Upon the completion of the now iconic film franchise, they opened the House of MinaLima, a lovely boutique shop representing to the devoted Potterheads a treasure trove of graphic art from the wizarding world including prints, books, and other Potter-related objects.

On the ground floor you will find stationary, books, mugs and badges, while the three floors above comprise a gorgeous free HP exhibition – a true Harry Potter fandom heaven. Nearly everything on display here is for sale - journals that look like Hogwarts textbooks, copies of the Quibbler, composition books that characters used during their time at Hogwarts, posters from the Daily Prophet and so much more. There's something charming for every pocket. An authentic gem for any Harry Potter fan spending a day in London!
