Paul & I were lucky enough to find ourselves in the West End this weekend just gone.  We had lunch and a show planned (Côte Brasserie and Mary Poppins!), but we had time inbetween the two so we visited The Noble Collection Store and Minalima. It would have been very rude not to! 😉

We were very happy to get to The Noble Collection as Storm Dennis was in town which meant a lot of wind and even more rain! We stepped inside and were instantly greeted by a friendly member of staff.  All in all, we spoke to 5 members of staff who were happy to talk Harry Potter, explain about merchandise, help us look for something for Sam and just generally chat.  The people we met were all knowledgeable, friendly, super helpful and obvious Harry Potter fans, like us.  In the end, we settled on this for Sam:

You have to love a mystery cube! We knew he would love the excitement of not knowing what was inside and pretty much anything he got would be awesome!

“Made in mixtures of base metal and AB plastic, this deluxe range of Mystery Cubes feature iconic creatures and objects from the Harry Potter movie series. Each mini treasure is packed in a draw-string Harry Potter branded bag and is accompanied by a miniature pamphlet. Eight to collect.

Each cube contains one of the following items, a Gringotts coin and display stand (Copper alloy & ABS), Hogwarts Express (Zinc alloy & ABS, the Sorting Hat and display stool (Zinc & PVC), Hedwig on Harry’s luggage trolley ( zinc alloy, ABS, PVC & Iron), Harry Potter’s wand on a Ollivanders display stand (Zinc alloy), a Hogwarts cup (Zinc alloy), a Chocolate Frog (Zinc alloy) and a messenger owl sitting on the Privet Drive street sign (Zinc alloy & PVC).

One random blind-boxed Mystery Cube supplied per purchase.”

We think Sam was very happy to receive this:

The only thing is, he still wants the chocolate version and I still want the pillow/plush version – which was available in store as well as House plushes/pillows.  There was SO much to see and so many beautiful things available for purchase.

Here’s just some of what we saw.  We highly recommend a visit to The Noble Collection Store – an absolute must for any Harry Potter fan! Take your galleons!
