Pygmy Puff Naming Ceremony at Universal Orlando, Wizarding World Tip
Welcome to Weasleys’ Wizard Wheezes — where the magic is loud, the colors are brighter, and the jokes are guaranteed to make you giggle
Tucked inside the vibrant chaos of Weasleys’ Wizard Wheezes in Diagon Alley, there's a magical moment many visitors walk right past—the Pygmy Puff naming ceremony.
If you're traveling with kids (or honestly, you're just a kid at heart), this is a sweet, simple bit of Wizarding World fun that you won’t want to miss.
We stopped by during one of visit to Universal Orlando’s Wizarding World of Harry Potter, and the experience completely enchanted our daughter. She picked out the fluffiest little Pygmy Puff (a pink one, of course), and to her surprise, the Team Member asked if she had picked a name.
Once she said the name out loud, the naming ceremony began—complete with an official announcement to the whole shop and applause from everyone nearby. It was such a small but magical moment, and she couldn't stop smiling. As far as souvenirs go, this one came with memories built right in.
🪄 How It Works:
📸 We snapped this photo right outside the shop before our daughter picked out her own little puff. If you have a young witch or wizard with you, this is a must-do stop!
Head to Weasleys’ Wizard Wheezes in Diagon Alley (Universal Studios Florida).
Choose your Pygmy Puff from the display.
Let a Team Member know you’d like to name it.
They’ll ask for your chosen name and announce it loudly in the store—yes, everyone will hear it!
Get ready for applause and maybe a few happy tears if you're a sentimental parent like me.
📸 Is It Worth It?
Absolutely. It's one of those little moments that turn into core memories. Whether it’s your child’s first time visiting the Wizarding World or you’re a repeat visitor, it’s worth the few minutes it takes to experience.
