The Harry Potter series follows the adventures of teenage wizard Harry Potter and his friends, Ron Weasley and Hermione Granger, as students at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. Both the novels and films are immensely popular worldwide, including in Indonesia. This global phenomenon has inspired fans everywhere, leading to a high demand for Harry Potter-themed collectibles.
What’s Trending: Harry Potter x Miniso
For Indonesian Potterheads, there’s exciting news! As of October 19, 2024, a range of Harry Potter collections is available at Miniso, specifically at the Central Park Mall branch. Fans can find various unique items, from blind boxes to character-inspired robes and scarves.
Other collectable items include Hedwig dolls, bags, pouches, suitcases, hats, drinking bottles, tumblers, sandals, key chains, and notebooks. Each piece is crafted to bring the magical world of Harry Potter closer to its fans.
Additionally, merchandise inspired by the four Hogwarts houses—Gryffindor, Hufflepuff, Ravenclaw, and Slytherin—is available. These collections offer Potterheads a chance to represent their favourite house and bring a bit of Hogwarts into their everyday lives.
The excitement for Miniso's Harry Potter collection has led to long queues at their Central Park Mall outlet. Even on weekdays, fans line up eagerly, and on weekends, the queue can be several times longer, showing just how popular the collection has become.
To manage the crowd, Miniso has organized the shopping process into batches. Groups of around 20 people are allowed into the Harry Potter area at a time and are given just 10 minutes to browse and make their purchases before the next group enters.
In response to the long waiting times, some fans have begun offering consignment services (scalpers), allowing people to order items without waiting in line themselves. This service has become popular, especially for those who want to avoid standing in line.
While the Harry Potter collection will eventually be available at other Miniso outlets, the Central Park Mall branch remains the go-to destination for fans due to its wider selection of items. Are you intrigued to join the hype? Because, there’s no better time to bring a little bit of Hogwarts magic home!
