Founders Miraphora Mina and Eduardo Lima designed some of the most renowned and beloved film props, such as the Hogwarts Acceptance Letter, The Marauder's Map, The Daily Prophet, and the Black Family Tapestry.

According to their website, the design pair started working together in 2001 to “imagine and create the graphic universe” for the Harry Potter film series. After seeing significant success in crafting the style for the movies, they started their studio in 2009.

This limited-time experience will allow Wizarding World fans to shop a variety of authentic, MinaLima-designed magical keepsakes such as prints, journals, stationery, home décor, accessories, and more. This isn't their first pop-up shop, either. House of MinaLima shops have delighted fans around the globe with its flagship headquarters in London, UK, and pop-up stores in Osaka, Tokyo, Seoul, Paris, and New York City before its highly-anticipated stop at Universal Orlando Resort.
