Good-day Fellow Witches and Wizards.
If you are reading this then I assume you are looking for Harry Potter Gifts either for yourself or another Harry Potter lover in your life. It can be daunting because there are a lot of Harry Potter products on the market but where do you start?
Have no fear because here is a Gift Guide to help you find the perfect gift!
Harry Potter Gift Guide posts are becoming a tradition for me to do. It’s my favourite fantasy world and series so I love to make them.
Hey Guys!
It’s December, it’s Christmas time. Cue panic for gift buying and sheer amount of ‘WHAT COULD I BUY FOR THEM?!‘ moments.
As we all know Christmas can be pretty expensive, it all adds up and I have rather a big family so it definitely is for me but I thought it would be a fun idea to do a Christmas Gift Guide, bookish gifts on a budget. Have a loved one in your life who loves reading? then keep on reading to see some websites/options you may not have considered. Remember its the thought that counts not the monetary value.

Harry Potter is one of the largest book/movie franchises in the world, so there’s no surprise that there are tons of fans out there. The question is what do you get a massive Harry Potter fan for Christmas? We all know searching for a perfect gift can be rather difficult as it is, so here are my top picks on Christmas Gift Ideas for the Harry Potter fan in your life (or even yourself).
The Bloomsbury new ‘Childrens’ covers of the Harry Potter Series are fantastic. Even if you own the books already, these covers have seen other book lovers go weak at the knees with their bright beautiful covers. The art work on them is brilliant from the books themselves to the box they come in. The Book People currently have this box set on offer for £29.99 which is a massive bargain coming out at approximately £4.28 for each book. The standard price for this box-set is usually priced at £60.
The Book People – Harry Potter Box Set
Film Buff? Well the Warner Bro’s Film Wizardry book is a fantastic gift for anyone that loves the Harry potter films. This book gives you behind the scenes information and film making secrets. What makes this book so special is the array of replica’s/props that are within the book itself, from a Yule Ball Invitation, to Hogwarts Letters and the Maunders Map! There are a whole bunch of replica’s within this book hidden within it’s pages as the book progresses, I myself received this book for my birthday and it gives you such a wonderful insight into the making of the film from the actors themselves to the crew who made the props and filmed the movie.
This book is priced between £20- £25 dependent on which retailer you purchase from, the best prices I have found are;
The Book People – Film Wizardry £20.80 and Book Depository – Film Wizardry £23.64.
Etsy is a wonderful place; full of talented people selling items beyond our imagination. Dark Wood Jar Company are one of those fabulous talented companies, which make items truly original. I myself have never seen items like this before. For £15 you can get these vintage style drinking jars with a number of popular Harry Potter quotes on them. Something a little bit different for a Harry Potter fan who has every souvenir perhaps?
Another item which is slightly unusual and original in the sense that this is the first one of its kind to be released. I have yet to see any other Harry Potter Colouring Books. This colouring book is packed full of popular scenes and characters from the film series, it’s a wonderful collecters piece for a fan but also just fun to colour too! The RRP price of these books are £9.99 and they can be found in an array of stores, of course I’m trying to include some places with the best deals therefore Book Depository currently have this book on sale for £4.99!

Alternatively the Book People also have this book on sale for £7.99

These Gryffindor and Slytherin Stationary Sets are currently on offer for £20 rather than there RRP price of £25 on The Book People. Each set comes with a 192 page Journal/Notebook, 2 wax sticks and wax stamps, letter writing paper, envelopes and a paperweight. All of which has the house crest on them.
