If some Potterheads were devastated by the end of the magnificent exhibition dedicated to the bespectacled wizard at the Palais des Expositions, and if the famous little wizard market of Grigny is a bit too far for them, they can rest assured, dry their tears and grab their wand: a new ephemeral place dedicated to Ron, Hermione and the others is coming to the capital.
We wouldn't dare affront the fans of the first hour by reminding them what Mina Lima is, this very special publishing house. But for the others, here's a little overview: Miraphora Mina and Eduardo Lima, the talented graphic designers, are responsible for a large portion of the production of the sets and props in the film shootings.

One-way ticket to Hogwarts
The Daily Prophet, the Black family tapestry, those are them, the posters of the "undesirable number one", and also, the highly complex Marauder's Map, I'll give you one guess, it's them again. In short, they are responsible for some of the most famous items straight out of J.K. Rowling's imagined fantasy universe.
A magical power of creation that the house continues to put at the service of fans day after day, for example, by releasing a new edition of the novels in recent years. The books then transform into true works of art, and collectors of the saga desire them as much as Ron desires a plate of chicken legs.
Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban, released last month, will also be available for sale in the store, along with a whole series of collectible items, stationery of all kinds, and books as valuable as the Half-Blood Prince's potion manual.

Harry Potter in Wonderland
For those who, in their ignorance, do not worship the Chosen One, fear not, Galerie Gallimard also honors MinaLima's other works, exhibiting their creations related to Beauty and the Beast (you can even witness the Beast proposing to his beloved in a charming scene), as well as Alice in Wonderland, featuring the iconic and adorable Mad Hatter.
And for even more magic, the exhibition extends to the platforms of the Paris metro, with the Franklin D. Roosevelt station adorned with beautiful posters from the wizarding world. To celebrate the 25th anniversary of the first book's release in France, RATP also offers sound announcements played in the station.

So dear Potterheads, put on your capes, mount your brooms, and hurry to this magical place. Who knows, maybe you will finally find your letter of admission to Hogwarts, lost in the mail all this time!
