A Harry Potter 25th Anniversary Pop-Up Is Open Now in Taichung With Nearly 70 New Items

ByThe House Elves at Aguamenti

A silver stag has appeared in a Taichung plaza, and it’s staying until November.

The Harry Potter 25th Anniversary Pop-Up Store by PUTAI opened on September 11 at PARK2 Caowu Plaza in Taichung, and runs through November 1, 2026. It marks 25 years since Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone reached theaters, and it leans hard into the Patronus charm as its visual signature.

Seven sets to walk through

The build is organised into seven photo zones: a Patronus key visual, Starry-Sky Patronus, The Stag Appears, Patronus in the Forest, a Hogwarts Concept Panorama, a gachapon area, and a Mechanical Death Eater. The panorama is the one doing the heaviest lifting, gathering the castle, the flying Ford Anglia, the Hogwarts Express, the Sorting Hat and the Golden Snitch into a single backdrop.

If you’re going

The venue is at No. 534 Yingcai Road, West District, Taichung. Opening hours differ between weekdays, Fridays and weekends, and haven’t been published in full — check the on-site notices or PUTAI’s channels before making the trip.

For collectors outside Taiwan, there’s no announced online store or international shipping for this range, so the realistic routes are a proxy buying service or following PUTAI for any post-run release. Pop-up exclusives like these have a habit of never reappearing, so it’s worth lining something up before November 1 rather than after.
