Hello all
I just wanted to let those of you visiting the area know about a really cool store in Santa Monica, especially for fans of Harry Potter (and similar fantasy/fiction stuff). It's called Whimsic Alley (I have a friend who works there ) The store is all decked out like Diagon Alley in the movies/books. They sell tons of Harry Potter merchandise, Hogwarts school uniforms, wands, etc. As well as dragons, fairies, unicorns, old fashion quill sets with ink, etc. It's your one stop shop for the discerning witch or wizard.
It's located at 2717 1/2 Wilshire Blvd. in Santa Monica (that's on the east side of Santa MOnica, 27 blocks from the beach (more or less). It's next to a Washington Mutual Bank (where you can park free on Sundays, also free parking on side streets for two hours and meter parking in front).
Here's the website for the store and online store: http://www.whimsicalley.com/
I know this sounds like a plug for the store, but this place really is a must see tourist attraction in itself (if you're not a Muggle)
