The Ultimate Harry Potter Fan Gift Guide

What do archaeologists, Dungeons and Dragons players, and fandoms have in common? They love finding loot. What does that have to do with Harry Potter? Well…it’s a fandom, and we’re talking about loot — i.e. gifts that you might love (nailed it).

We’ve searched high and low throughout the Muggle world to find the sweetest merch that you or someone you know may want to show off your fan pride (also we’re getting close to the gift-giving season, so one of these bad boys may make for a nice present <wink wink>).

This is our ultimate Harry Potter fan gift guide!

The Unofficial Harry Potter Cookbook

If you prefer the culinary arts over Defense Against the Dark Arts, you should find more than enough recipes from the wizarding world in The Unofficial Harry Potter Cookbook that will put your skills to the test. Inside the pages you’ll find more than 150 recipes based on classic staples of the Harry Potter franchise, such as Treacle Tart, Molly’s Meat Pies, and Pumpkin Pasties.

Each recipe is even accompanied by a chapter and page reference for where you can find the food or beverage in question in the books!  To make the treats within, you’ll have to head to Amazon and pick this cookbook up for $10.95.

Marauder’s Map Heat-Sensitive Coffee Mug

The Marauder’s Map is up there on our list of items from Harry Potter we really wish were real. While we may not have a guide that shows us the location of every nook and cranny in Hogwarts, we can at least get ready for mischief in the mornings with this awesome heat sensitive transforming mug based on the handiwork of Messrs. Moony, Wormtail, Padfoot and Prongs.

What looks to be a simple black coffee mug comes alive when you add your hot beverage of choice to the volume. Once mischief is managed and the mug becomes room temperature again, the map will disappear to preserve the secrecy. You can find this mug on Amazon right now for $19.99.

Hogwarts House Beanies

If you’re a Potterhead, you’ve probably meandered over to the Wizarding World website a fair number of times to take the Hogwarts sorting quiz and find out which house you belong in (Hufflepuffs for life). After getting sorted, you gotta show your colors off with some house gear and, since it’s getting pretty close to the winter months, Hot Topic has this area covered with Hogwarts House Beanies.

Made out of acrylic material and embroidered with the name and colors of each Hogwarts house, you can either grab your house’s beanie or get the collection of four.

So ask yourself: are you more of a Gryffindor, Ravenclaw, Hufflepuff, or Slytherin? Each beanie will run you $16.90 at Hot Topic.

Harry Potter Funko POP

All hail the Funko POP overlords! As you hardcore collectors probably know, the collecting never stops, especially when you have holiday versions of the wizarding world’s favorite trio to nab.

Harry has his scarf and golden owl ornament, while Ron is decked out in his homemade knitted hat and holding a cracker.

Hermione is also ready for the season with a wrapped present. There’s only one present and two of Harry and Ron, so…yeah…someone’s getting left out in the cold.

You can pick up any or all of these POP figures at Hot Topic for $12.50 each.

Illuminating Wand

Of course, no witch or wizard is complete without their wand, and the Noble Collection has created a set of illuminating wands based off the hero versions from the films. The Boy Who Lived’s holly and phoenix feather core wand is recreated in all its glory so you can roleplay fighting against Death Eaters in style.

This is an illuminating wand, so of course when you wave the wand to cast Wingardium Leviosa or any of your other memorized spells, the tip will shine to provide a light in the dark. If you need to get your own replica of Harry’s wand, you can find it on Amazon right now for $49.99.

Which of these Harry Potter gifts will be wrapped up for you this season? Let us know in the comments!
