The magic lives on inside Canal City Hakata’s Harry Potter & Fantastic Beasts Wizarding World Cafe! The Cafe has been redecorated with more posters (even one of Grindelwald’s call to rally on that fateful night at Père Lachaise!), and there have been additions to the menu. Three dishes debuted today: Zouwu Okonomiyaki, Hedwig Mont Blanc, and Fawkes Cassis & Strawberry Parfait. The drink menu also boasts six new beverages, including the heavenly chocolatey Niffler Tapioca Cocoa and the creamy Hogwarts Express Tapioca Cafe Latte.

Naturally, there are some new official goods, from none other than graphic design team MinaLima! Potterheads will recognize the works of Miraphora Mina and Eduardo Lima from their work in Harry Potter films such as the iconic Marauders’ Map and the Daily Prophet. Now you can take home a piece of their magic with you in the form of postcards, card holders, notebooks and posters – some of them exclusives straight out of the films!
Sirius Black in 3D – almost as good as a magical photo!
If you’ve always been waiting for your very own Hogwarts letter, get Harry’s instead in card holder form
And more good news! The cafe will stay open in Fukuoka until May 6. So if you haven’t gone, here’s a second chance, and if you have, with all these new dishes, drinks, goods, and a refreshed layout, we say it’s time to go again!
Fukuoka Now staff Irene (and a huge Potterhead!) took photos for Fukuoka Now at a special pre-open event this morning. Check them out and dive into the Wizarding World of Harry Potter & Fantastic Beasts!

If only fantastic beasts were real… but that’s what these stuffed toys are for!
For those keen on cosplaying, the shop offers accessories including headbands, neckties and more of each Hogwarts house.
It’s not a case full of fantastic beasts, but this would have to do!
