The Potion Bar is a very cool aspect of The Cloak and Wand. Here, you can get some specially brewed potions to enjoy. They offer both cold and hot potions. They’re all quite delicious!

One of the cool things about making your own is they will tell you what kind of potion you ended up making. This is based on what ingredients you chose for your potion. The ingredients, along with the name of the potion, will be printed on your cup when you receive it!

The Experience

While shopping and getting delicious potions is great, there’s more to this shop than just those two things. Part of visiting this store is about having a magical experience! The shop is filled with decorations and magical items throughout the store to enjoy.

One of the most notable things you’ll notice when you walk in is a large tree in the left corner of the room. This isn’t any old tree though. It’s the witching tree!

A witching tree is a common occurrence in the magical world. It provides protection from dark forces and can provide help and guidance in mysterious ways.

Another interesting thing you’ll see in the store are portraits that seem to move. These are a part of the haunted portraits gallery at the store. If you pay close enough attention, you might catch the person in the portrait moving!

Another interesting aspect of this store is what’s know as “The Dark Corner” which is located down a hallway on the back side of the wall. This hallway houses unique dark magic items. It can be a bit creepy, so I wouldn’t consider this section family-friendly.
