Step off Michigan Avenue into a pocket of cinematic oddities: glass cases of wands, shelves of spellbooks, and the warm, sweet hiss of Butterbeer poured into a souvenir mug. The city’s traffic hums beyond the store’s doors while inside the shop the lights lean toward the theatrical — props that echo the films, a Butterbeer Bar that draws lineups, and displays built to be examined slowly.
