Calling all Potterheads! You can take a trip tp the wizarding world, and you don't even need to board the Hogwarts Express to get there.

Warner Bros. Pictures Canada has transformed a Toronto shop into the bakery from Fantastic Beasts in celebration of the upcoming film, The Secrets of Dumbledore, which is being released in Canada on April 15.

The Grand Order of Divine Sweets has been given a magical makeover and now looks like Kowalski Quality Baked Goods, the iconic New York bakery owned by Muggle Jacob Kowalski in the films.

From April 12 to 13, you can stop by the pop-up to experience the charm of the 1920s with an added hint of magic. The shop has already gained popularity, as fans waited in line for three hours this morning so that they could be first through the door.

If you're looking for more magic, then you'll want to plan a trip to the Fantastic Beasts: The Wonder of Nature exhibit opening at the ROM this June. The exhibition will whisk you away to the wizarding world, and it's like stepping into Newt's suitcase.

This enchanting pop-up bakery is only here for a limited time, so put on your finest wizard attire and enjoy some sweet treats.
