Mr. Magorium's Wonder Emporium
The magic flows freely through the walls and games inside the Magic Games Shop. It's the store that completely changed things and is called the Wonder Wonder store. That powerful story began when Mr. Magurium, 243-year-old who owned the store, decided to run the reins of his manager, Molly Mahoney. Mahoney seems to have changed everything completely, as these things began to creep into mysterious changes over the store.
