Inside the alley is an assortment of shops where wands, charms, and all items on the Hogwarts supply list can be bought. Visitors will find everything a wizard needs to cast spells. 850 lb. bales have been arranged in concentric squares, nesting one inside the other.At the perimeter, bales are stacked to create post and lintel portals for access to magic markets. Beyond the portals is the “commitment wall” – a diaphanous honeycomb wall of straw bales intended to challenge the visitor. At the center of the maze resides a mystical red sphere. Seek-and-find activities will also be available to guide visitors through the maze.
