Refurbished Harry Potter Section of Universal Studios Store Reopens, Theming Removed

The refurbished Harry Potter section of the Universal Studios Store in Universal Studios Florida has reopened with a brighter color scheme.

Curtains went up for the refurbishment project earlier this month. The previously black walls have been painted white. The dark brown shelves now have a light wood finish.

The flooring is the same faux wood. There is a mix of light gray and brown wood shelving units. A column in the space was painted navy blue.

A glass case in the corner that previously held more expensive merchandise and props has been replaced by a clothing rack. Some of the more themed elements, like a fake roof, have been removed.

It seems like Universal is trying to standardize the design of the store so it would be easier to move around merchandise. With this space previously heavily themed to Harry Potter, they couldn’t move Harry Potter merchandise to a different area or put non-Harry Potter merchandise in this section. For now, Harry Potter merch is still in this section.
