This guy should probably just change the name of his shop. There is absolutely nothing fairy related to be found here. It is 100% Harry Potter from top to bottom. Had I been looking for a portal to the Wizarding World of Harry Potter, this place would probably have been amazing. But I was looking for a portal to Fairyland. And that is not at all what I got. After going 45 minutes out of my way, navigating the difficult and frustrating streets of Boston to get there, I kept telling myself that it would all be worth it because there'd be a magical little shop of enchantments waiting for me at the end of the road.

Ā Ā Ā Read moreMichaelās store on Newbury Street never fails to delight and enchant! My daughter got a visit as a treat after the Harry Potter exhibition in Cambridge and loved it! Iāve been shopping here now for thirty years! The store has undergone changes in merchandise and itās currently all Harry Potter (it started as The Crow, has also had soaps, candles, silver jewelry, gnomes, fairies, Alice in Wonderland, etc). I still have a great deal of the items Iāve bought over the years- good quality and selected with love. If the owner isnāt swamped with customers, please take a moment to chat with him! Heās the best part of the experience- super friendly person who sells only what he himself loves. Thank you, Michael, for giving my daughter a ticket for The Hogwarts Express- she...
