Christmas gift tips for Harry Potter fans

Do you fall asleep on a pillow with a Slytherin crest, affectionately call your classmates or colleagues muggles, and wash down Bertie Bott's Every Flavour Beans with Butterbeer? Lock your wallet in a vault, because our shelves are packed with amazing treasures that will delight every Potterhead!

For the playful and competitive

Harry Potter: Hogwarts Battle is a stellar example of how book themes blend perfectly with game mechanics. Playing as Harry, Hermione, Ron, or Neville, you build an increasingly powerful deck of spells and potions to fight against all the Potter villains. The game is cooperative and features seven different scenarios—one for each year—so you can enjoy the entire saga from your first day at school to the final battle with He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named.

Are you arguing with friends about who is the bigger Potterhead? It's high time to settle it! 10: Harry Potter is a fantastic trivia game with a thousand questions across a hundred categories that will put your knowledge to the test. This game has only one flaw: my wife beats me at it constantly.

Stylish for cons, school, and work

If I had to pick just one thing (which I luckily don't, but if I did), it would be the Harry Potter Platform 9 ¾ handbag. It looks absolutely luxurious, can be worn over the shoulder or around the waist, and fits both wizarding and muggle outfits perfectly.

Or unleash your inner Luna Lovegood, put on your Spectrespecs, and wear radishes in your ears. With this jewelry set, everyone will turn their heads to look at you!

Is life moving too fast, are assignments piling up, and are your responsibilities overwhelming you? Do you need a day with at least 26 hours? Hang a Time-Turner around your neck and save the world, or at least your packed schedule. Warning: Only works when it's convenient for the plot.

Need to blend in with muggles but don't want to give up on stylish clothing? Pull on some awesome Potter socks!

A piece of Hogwarts at home

Do you drift off thinking about the Boy Who Lived? Or do you just need to snuggle up comfortably in your own bed? Then you absolutely need Harry Potter bedding. It's beautiful, glows in the dark, and protects you from all Death Eaters while you sleep.

After a night of undisturbed sleep, nothing wakes you up better than a proper shower. You can step out of the shower in style, too. Just wrap yourself in a Hogwarts acceptance letter. This large cotton towel will also serve you well at the beach.

And from the towel straight into a bathrobe—you have to be comfortable. And since it's Luna's bathrobe, it's beautifully soft, pink, and has two huge pockets that could fit all of Hogsmeade. Okay, maybe I'm exaggerating a bit, but the ones made of Lego will definitely fit!

A good tea kicks off the day. A wizard, however, doesn't drink from something as boring as a mug, especially when they have an impeccable ceramic cauldron at home. And don't forget breakfast, ideally on a stylish plate.

Expecting visitors? Let them know right at the door that they are entering a world of magic and wizardry with the Welcome to Hogwarts doormat.

So, nobody is coming over today? No problem, it's the perfect opportunity to sit in a comfortable armchair and pull your favorite volume off the shelf (mine is Order of the Phoenix). By the way, a house-elf keeps all my volumes on the shelf. Yes, I am a tyrant who refuses to give the mistreated little guy clothes and freedom when he looks so good as a bookend.

For Potterheads on the go

Wizards who never stop will surely appreciate a practical travel mug with a Marauder's Map motif. More demanding fans will appreciate a high-quality double-walled metal thermal bottle with the Platform 9 ¾ logo. It keeps your coffee hot and reminds you where you're headed.

Working on the train but don't want fellow passengers on the Hogwarts Express to think some muggle broke in by mistake? Stick a vinyl Hogwarts sticker on your laptop.

Electronics aren't your thing and you prefer a proper paper notebook? No worries, I'm thinking of you too. A luxury notebook in faux leather with the inscription "I'd rather be at Hogwarts" says it for you.

So, did your wallet survive in the vault? Mine didn't…
