House of MinaLima Opens in Edinburgh Alongside MinaLima’s New “Harry Potter” Yule Ball Collection
To Harry Potter fans, Scotland is the home of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, and now it is also home to Miraphora Mina and Eduardo Lima’s House of MinaLima Edinburgh. The new gallery-shop is opening in Edinburgh’s Old Town, a historic town that is the oldest part of Scotland’s capital city.
The shop’s soft opening took place on November 18 – the same day as the launch of some of MinaLima’s new ranges, including the Harry Potter Yule Ball collection. Meet-and-greet sessions are taking place with Miraphora Mina and Eduardo Lima on November 23 and 24.

House of MinaLima Edinburgh will give fans access to collections of stationery, homeware, and accessories. From journals, notebooks, and notecards to tea towels and much more, these will all feature authentic graphic artwork from the Potter and Beasts films.
Also available to buy there will be MinaLima’s deluxe editions of their illustrated and interactive books Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone, Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets, and Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban, plus Studio MinaLima’s monograph, The Magic of MinaLima: Celebrating the Graphic Design Studio Behind the Harry Potter & Fantastic Beasts Films.
Mina and Lima started working together on the Harry Potter films in 2001, creating the entire graphic universe that is seen within the Harry Potter and Fantastic Beasts films, including many iconic props, such as Harry’s Hogwarts acceptance letter and the Marauder’s Map. In 2009, they founded their graphic design studio, Studio MinaLima, and House of MinaLima opened in London in 2016 – an immersive gallery and shop that showcases their graphic works.

Since the release of the illustrated edition of Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban, it has been announced that MinaLima is not continuing with the illustrated Harry Potter book series, with publishers Scholastic planning to continue with the series with new illustrators.
House of MinaLima Edinburgh is open daily from 10:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m., and you can find it at 42-44 Cockburn Street, Edinburgh. Will you be making a visit to this magical new shop?
