FIRST LOOK at Souvenirs at Universal Orlando’s New Hotel — Including a NEW Harry Potter Wand!

Although we’re still waiting for Epic Universe to open in May, one of Universal Orlando’s newest hotels near the new park recently opened.

That’s right, Universal Stella Nova Resort has officially opened for guests, meaning that we’re just another step closer to Epic Universe’s big day. We had a chance to visit Stella Nova and we’re getting you a first look at the exclusive merchandise you’ll be able to get there.

Universal Stella Nova Resort is one of TWO resorts being built by Loews adjacent to Epic Universe. It’s inspired by “the infinite vastness of the unexplored universe, where galaxies spiral ever outward and unknown worlds revolve around unnamed stars.”

Off of the lobby, you’ll find a big Universal Studios Store sign. You can’t miss it! Inside, you’ll find tons of souvenirs. Let’s take a look together, shall we?

This is your standard Universal merchandise store. However, there was an exciting surprise inside!

We found a brand new wand belonging to the Harry Potter character, Dolores Umbridge!

While she’s not our favorite character by any means, this is exciting because Umbridge will be featured in the brand new attraction coming to Epic Universe called Harry Potter and the Battle at the Ministry. How neat is that?

The store features plenty more new Wizarding World items like this Ministry of Magic Kids Shirt…

…logo hat…

…logo purse…

…a variety of Metrofloo items…

…a drawstring bag for your wand…

…and even a Newt Scamander backpack!

Don’t worry if that’s not your favorite fandom — they’ve got merchandise representing all of the different lands coming to Epic Universe. Starting with Dark Universe, they’ve got a fun tank (which Quincy may or may not have already purchased…).

You’ll also find a spooky Dark Universe Spirit Jersey…

…mugs…

…picture frames…

…and apparel…

…including bucket hats.

Of course, there’s also tons of Toothless merchandise to celebrate Isle of Berk! You’ll be able to meet this iconic dragon inside Epic Universe and we’re sure he would love to see you with his merch.

And you’ll find your favorite characters from the Super Nintendo universe.

Epic Universe’s grand opening will be here before we know it, so it’s time to get prepared! You can also shop logo merchandise for the park in this store.

If you’d like to book a stay at Universal Stella Nova Resort, bookings are now available on the Universal Orlando website. You’ll be able to visit Epic Universe when it opens on May 22nd, 2025 from the hotel via a walking path or complimentary shuttle. Complimentary shuttles are also available for Universal Orlando’s other two theme parks, as well as Universal CityWalk.

Check back with AllEars again soon for all your Epic Universe news.
