Amy Duong — October 16, 2024 — Pop Culture
Japanese lifestyle retailer MINISO introduces an exclusive Harry Potter collection with Warner Bros which made its launch on October 13th in the United States. The launch drew in a slew of fans who showed up in their Hogwarts robes, excited to see the highly anticipated range. Additionally, the Irvine Spectrum Center transformed a part of the store into a themed space to bring a magical experience.
The team is breaching the US borders as the retailer is hosting a pre-launch pop-up in Mongkok's Langham Place in Hong Kong, which will be up until October 31st. This will reflect the same experience in California but take on a unique twist as it features an immersive and interactive shopping experience with exclusive products.
