Step through the storefront into a room that asks you to believe you can fly. Lights hum, a green screen fills the frame, and staff coach your posture as if you were a stunt double on set. For an hour you trade pavement and skyline for digitally stitched views of Hogwarts, the Knight Bus and a speeding Quidditch chase—then finish with a frothy cup of Butterbeer at the in-store bar.
