A funny magic place to enjoy and buy some very interesting things to collect. Funny things and sweet things as well.

In the Harry Potter books, Weasley's Wizard Wheezes is a joke shop in Diagon Alley founded by Fred and George Weasley. Their mother would have preferred that they pursued a career in the Ministry of Magic but instead they came up with many of their product ideas while they were still students at Hogwarts. Harry Potter gave them the money to start the business. Opened on July 8, 2014, you can visit Weasley's Wizard Wheezes in Diagon Alley in the Wizarding World in Universal Studios. The building with bright pops of orange and purple was designed to look like it appears in the movie. It is instantly recognizable by the 20-foot-tall robotic Weasley twin on the front of the building that lifts his hat to reveal a rabbit on the top of his head. He lowers the hat and then lifts it again to show that the rabbit has disappeared. On the outside of the building are advertisements for Edible Dark Marks, Skiving Snackboxes, and U-No-Poo. The windows have elaborate displays like a girl throwing up after eating a puking pastille and Day of the Dead skeletons dancing near boxes of fireworks. Weasley's Wizard Wheezes connects to Sugarplum's Sweet Shop via an interior passage. Inside the joke shop is a colorful array of clothing, toys, and candy. Popular sweets include Love Potion, U-No-Poo, Fever Fudge, Nosebleed Nougat, Puking Pastilles, Fainting Fancies, and Skiving Snackboxes (includes Fainting Fancies, Nosebleed Nougat, Puking Pastilles, and Fever Fudge). In the movies the Skiving Snackboxes were designed to make students sick so they could skip class. One half of the sweet would make you sick and the other would heal you. Of course these are just candy. Fred and George Weasley bred Puffskeins to create miniature versions known as Pygmy Puffs which are sold here. They are handy to have because they are knon to eat earwax. You can also purchase Pygmy Puffs at the Magical Menagerie but adoption ceremonies only take place at Weasleys' Wizard Wheezies. Other joke items carried here include Bombastic Bombs, Screaming Yo-yos, Chattering Teeth, Extendable Ears, Peruvian Instant Darkness Powder, Sneakoscopes, Chinese Fortune Sticks, Pik-A-Stiks, Boxing Telescopes, and Decoy Detonators, all of which were mentioned in the books. Like all of the stores in the Wizarding World, Weasley's Wizard Wheezes is cramped and highly detailed to make you feel as if you really are in the Wizarding World. Look for the animated exploding fireworks on the ceiling and a toy Dolores Umbridge riding a unicycle across a tightrope while balancing two cauldrons and yelling "I will have order!" This is a first floor shop but as you look up towards the second and third floors, you can see props from the Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince movie. There is so much to see and every time I visit I spot something new.

Weasley's Wizard Wheezes is such a fun shop to stop into even if you do not plan to buy anything. Fred and George made a fun place to buy gag gifts! RIP Fred. Lots of random fun decor and things to see inside. If you want a fun souvenir or just to check out a movie spot, this is a must visit.

Fred and George Weasley's fun shop offers a cornucopia of magical jokes, tricks and toys including Pygmy Puffs, U-No-Poo, Skiving Snackboxes, and more. I was so pumped to get my nephew some fun items because he's 8 and definitely in his prank stage of boy life. Being a child at heart myself I found a few things for myself as well of course to get into a prank war with him. If you love Harry Potter and pranks I would highly recommend coming in here while in Universal Studios because it was a fun store even to just look around. If I come back to Universal Orlando I'll definitely be coming back here

So fun and cool. Easily my favorite shop at Universal Studios. There were so many products from the books/movies. Some of which were made properly useful such as love potions that were actually sweeteners for coffee or tea. Truly magical. A must see.

The store looks so much like it does in the movies and it was so fun to explore. However, I wish there was a bit more variety. This store in particular was pretty busy and not easy to move around in.

The kids really looked forward to this store! They love it. This is where they first adopted their adorable Pygmy Puffs and had them named in their famous ceremony. I am not sure if they are still doing the formalities during COVID, but this is still a shop to visit for some unique Potter finds. I love the candy. This time I got Nosebleed Nugget. I have not seen it outside this store, but that does not mean you can't find it elsewhere. It was surprisingly delicious, and worth the purchase, not just for the adorable packaging and theming, but incredible flavor. The chocolate was fresh and the nugget pillowy, soft and chewy. They offer other fun "joke" candy and joke gifts and gadgets. If we lived in this universe, we would frequent this store. So fun with the entire theme. You really need to pay attention to all of the careful detailing that went into creating the atmosphere. The store is a tight squeeze and hard to distance, so they might occasionally limit the amount of people inside. Even though the park was filled, we did not have a problem here. Take advantage of the package delivery if you are staying on property. I love buying candy and having it sent to the room so it does not melt in the heat. You cute adopted pets will also reach your hotel if you need those shipped as well.

The store was amazing! It looks like it came straight out of the movie! If you have a chance to see this I highly recommend it! Such a cool store!
