    The 9 Best Harry Potter Stocking Stuffers & Stockings to Hold Them

    As we approach the winter holidays, you might feel more nervous than Neville before his Potions OWL exam. After all, choosing the right gifts for everyone in your life is hard work – and not everyone has the equivalent natural talent of the Half-Blood Prince when it comes to gift-giving...

    From their star-ceilinged common room to achieving top marks, Ravenclaws tend to aim high in all they do. This is a great quality – but it can also make them hard to shop for, since they're usually great at listening and identifying the perfect gift for everyone else in their lives. It's hard to surprise someone who's sharp as a tack with a great gift they never saw coming...

    October 27, 2022 /

    When it came time to start working on my series of posts for each Hogwarts House, there was no doubt in my mind which house I would start with... My own, of course! This Slytherin gift guide is the first in my series. I've known I was a Slytherin since the beginning of my lifelong love affair with the Harry Potter series. Maybe it was my little crush on Draco Malfoy (ok, I'll be honest, it was on Tom Felton) or the fact that cunning and ambition are two traits I pride myself on having. In any event: Slytherins, I'm here with you. I see you, and I've got your…

    "Wit beyond measure is man's greatest treasure." So reads Rowena Ravenclaw's diadem... but let's be honest: there are some other great treasures out there too. While Ravenclaws prize knowledge and insight, they can also appreciate a great gift, especially when it comes in Ravenclaw colors or with their house crest. That's where this Ravenclaw gift guide comes in handy!

    45+ Gifts Proud Hufflepuffs Will Love [Hufflepuff Gift Guide]

    October 13, 2022 /

    Before the Fantastic Beasts & Where to Find Them films, it’s easy to see why Hufflepuffs felt under-represented in the Wizarding world. Sure, we’d met a handful of Harry’s classmates in Chamber of Secrets and all the girls giggled over that “tall, good-looking” Cedric Diggory (POA, Ch. 9) – but Hufflepuffs felt unloved. That’s evident as there aren’t nearly as many Hufflepuff gift guide options on the internet as there are for all three other houses. But when Fantastic Beasts came out, all of the world’s Hufflepuffs rejoiced: Newt Scamander was a hero for all ‘Puffs (and the rest of us too)! Hufflepuffs have their hero...

They seem to have it all! In the event there’s a Gryffindor in your life with a special occasion coming up and they don’t have it all, this Gryffindor gift guide will help. I may prefer my green and silver, but I can’t deny that some of these objects are totally cool – and bursting with Gryffindor pride. From house goods to clothes and jewelry to an assortment of other lion-adorned products, you’re…

It’s always good to consult a packing list to make sure you’ll have everything you need in your undetectable extension charmed beaded bag. Inspired by Harry’s Hogwarts supply list, I’ve put together the ultimate list of Harry Potter swag and gear. These cool, nerdy, and magical items will fit right in whether you’re on a Harry Potter tour across the U.K., exploring Diagon Alley at Harry Potter World in Orlando, or discovering its real-life Harry Potter London inspiration, Leadenhall Market...
