Break out the Butterbeer—it’s time to celebrate Back to Hogwarts and this year is a special one! Twenty years have passed since a certain boy wizard first cast his spell over us (J.K Rowling’s Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone was first published in the U.S. in 1998). And we’ve been huge Harry Potter fans ever since. So of course we can’t let this momentous anniversary pass without a whole world of only-at-Target fun. Think early access to seven awesome LEGO sets, exclusive Funko POP! Figures and over 120 magical finds from toys and bedding to clothing and accessories, a special (and free!) in-store celebration, Insta-worthy displays and more.
“Our guests love Harry Potter—and with our incredible assortment and exclusives, Target’s the ultimate destination for all things Harry Potter,” says Mark Tritton, executive vice president and chief merchandising officer, Target. “We’re constantly collaborating with the best partners in the business to create unique products that we know our guests will love. And now, for the first time, we’re teaming up with LEGO to give fans early access to seven must-have sets. It’s pure Harry Potter-inspired fun, and totally Target.”
Here’s a peek at the adventure that awaits…
