Wynott's Wands recently relocated from Pickering Wharf to the former Fool's Mansion space on Essex Street, allowing for side-by-side Harry Potter shops.
For the first time this past weekend, the city of Salem had side-by-side Harry Potter shops on Essex Street.

Maguire has owned and operated Remember Salem on Essex …
