Owl Post at The Wizarding World of Harry Potter – Diagon Alley

What was the Owl Post?

In both the Harry Potter books and films, the Owl Post was the bird-led parcel delivery that witches and wizards used to send one another mail. When it came to Universal Orlando Resort, it was a little kiosk at which guests could mail their Wizarding World purchases back to their homes in some pretty handsome packaging that was also (lightly) customizable.

Where was the Owl Post located?

In The Wizarding World of Harry Potter – Diagon Alley, which is in Universal Studios Florida. (Hogsmeade also has an Owl Post of its very own that opened eight years before Diagon Alley’s.)

What could I mail through the Owl Post?

Almost anything came from The Wizarding World of Harry Potter (sorry – no muggle items there). With that said, however, there were a few restrictions to keep in mind:

  • Delivery addresses must be in the US
  • Not all Harry Potter-related items are eligible – food, brooms, and walking sticks don’t make the owl cut

If someone was committed to sending a souvenir via owl post, they had to check if they were eligible beforehand.

What merchandise was sold at the Owl Post?

Although the Owl Post was primarily intended for the shipping of the wizarding merchandise that guests had already purchased at all of the other myriad, wonderful stores in Diagon Alley and Hogsmeade, there were still a few other items that they could pick up – and mail! – at the shop, such as postcard packs and Christmas ornaments.

There was a selection of offerings with the mail service, as well. There were two different levels of packaging to send bundles of joy home in: basic, which included different (Hogwarts house) colored twine and stamps, and “deluxe,” which included wax paper and a seal. The costs started at $20 and progressed up to $25.

What was the Owl Post in Diagon Alley’s opening date?

December 7, 2018

Fun Facts

Small packaging details
Small packaging details inside the Owl Post in Diagon Alley

Before the advent of The Wizarding World of Harry Potter – Diagon Alley’s Owl Post in December 2018, it was simply a fake storefront called – what else? – the Owl Post; it just featured a faux door instead of the window where customers can now interact with the team members. Interestingly enough, the side window that shows off all the beautiful packaging has been left mostly untouched.
