"Happee Birthdae Harry". It’s July 31, which means the boy wizard Harry Potter would be turning a very adult 38 years old today. It’s also one year since the Store of Requirement opened in Samford, Queensland, selling wizarding goods for muggles. Today, a second store opened – right next door to the very magical Macca’s on Smith Street.

Waiting in line outside the new store are self-proclaimed “Harry Potter nerds” Pricilla and Tiffany. They’re kitted out in Ravenclaw and Gryffindor robes, and drove from Rowville to be here for opening day. “We’ve been counting down the days,” they say in unison. “I think I’m going to get the whole store,” 10-year-old Lily Rose Petito says from behind oversized round lenses.
