HP Store in Los Angeles

[SVanHuesen]

Hey fellow Potterites!

I don't know if anyone here is near the Los Angeles area, but about six weeks 
ago the HP Wizard store online opened a real store on Wilshire Blvd (2717 1/
2) in Santa Monica. I just found out about it last week and stopped by today. 
Really well done, the store is called Whimsic Alley and has a huge selection 
of everythign from all house v-neck sweater, ties, scarves, dishes, toys, book 
bags, etc. I was impressed that it was so busy there when I went, and I spoke 
to the owner who said that business was good and that they were planning all 
sorts of HP-Related events nexts year. He also told me they are getting 
quidditch sweaters for all houses, as well as high-quality adult size robes for 
all houses (lined with the colors like in the third movie).

So, if you live in Los Angeles county it is definately worth the visit.  I am going 
to try to stop by frequently to show some support. They are also open online at 
www.WhimsicAlley.com or www.hpwizardstore.com.
