I know it's still early to be thinking about summer 2020, but I have a feeling it will be one of the best, most magical summers yet. That's in part because the largest ever Harry Potter store is set to open this summer and a themed sidewalk cafe is also in the works.

我知道現在去想2020年的夏天還爲時過早，但我有預感，那將是迄今爲止最棒且最神奇的一個夏天。從某種程度上，這是因爲史上最大的哈利波特商店將於今年夏天開業，而且一家以哈利波特爲主題的路邊咖啡館也在籌備中。

The flagship store is set to open in Manhattan, close to the Flatiron building. According to a press release, the team believes New York is the perfect place to open up the largest selection of Harry Potter merchandise: "It's the ideal city in which to launch with so many dedicated Wizarding World fans, a cutting-edge retail environment and a community that embraces innovative experiences," a spokesperson for Warner Bros. said.

這家旗艦店計劃開在曼哈頓熨斗大廈附近。據報道，開發團隊認爲，紐約是開設最大的哈利波特周邊店的最佳場所：“這是接納如此之多魔法世界的忠實粉絲的理想城市，這裏有先進的零售環境，還有積極創新的社區，”華納兄弟公司的一位發言人說道。

This new location will have some of the same products that are available at The Wizarding World of Harry Potter, like chocolate frogs or wands from Ollivanders. There will be some wands made exclusive to this NYC location, though, and there are plans to open up a themed cafe sidewalk as well, Thrillist said. The flagship store itself is set to be 20,000 square feet and span three whole floors so like, yeah, it's definitely gonna be huge.

這家新店裏會有一些哈利波特魔法世界中特有的一些產品，例如來自奧利凡德店的巧克力蛙或魔杖。不過，據Thrillist（美國一家面向青年人的自媒體網站）報道，位於紐約的這家店裏會有其專屬魔杖，而且一家街邊主題咖啡館也在籌劃中。這家旗艦店佔地2萬平方英尺，有三層樓那麼高。嗯，真的是很大的一家店。

As of right now, although the plans for the store have been announced there has been some hold up on the project. The Wall Street Journal reported that the store wants to have dragons outside, as well as “”flagpoles designed to look like wands, but there are restrictions on what can or cannot be modified on the outside of the building.

雖然目前已經宣佈了開店計劃，但由於某些原因，這個項目被擱置了。據《華爾街日報》報道，這家店希望在店外擺放龍類裝飾，以及設計成魔杖形狀的旗杆，但對於擺放在店外的物品，哪些可以修改，哪些不能修改是有限制的。

For the time being, you might as well reread the series (for the tenth time?) and binge the movies while you wait for your chance to *literally* step into the world of magic.

現在你或許可以再讀一遍《哈利波特》系列故事（第十遍？），盡情觀看這一系列的電影，一邊等待“真正”進入魔法世界的機會吧。
