Look no further, we have the Ultimate Harry Potter gift list just for you, packed full to the brim of Harry Potter Gift Ideas and presents for Harry Potter fans.
I’d definitely class myself as a bit of a Potterhead. I was a huge fan of the Harry Potter series growing up, reading the books religiously and pre-ordering them on Amazon so that they would arrive on the day of release. I remember sitting on the window sill at my childhood home waiting for the postman to arrive, and getting (more than) a little bit livid concerned when it got to 3pm and he still hadn’t materialised. I was desperate to get my hands on the last book and learn how the series ended – excited to know the finale, but at the same time sad that the adventures of Harry and his friends would be finally bought to a conclusion.
Now that my daughter is 8, she too has developed a love for the Harry Potter series, mainly through watching the films on TV and reading the books. She fancies herself as a bit of a Hermione Granger, often commenting how she has Hermione hair when she has taken out her plaits. She desperately wants to go to the Warner Brothers Harry Potter studios and see Hogwarts for herself, and we are slowly ticking off locations from her Harry Potter Locations Bucketlist, including a visit to platform 9 and 3/4 at Kings Cross Station in London.
Despite the Harry Potter films having been out for a while now, the love for Harry Potter doesn’t seem to be going anywhere soon, with Potterheads young and old still celebrating the series and its characters.
Here are some Harry Potter gift ideas and Harry Potter toys that are sure to get a great response from their lucky recipient! Why not put a few together to create your very own Harry Potter Surprise Box? Whether it’s Harry Potter gifts for girls, Harry Potter gifts for boys, Harry Potter gifts for babies or Harry Potter gifts for yourself – we’ve got you covered!
Harry Potter Sorting Hat
You may have noticed that there are lots of Harry Potter gifts and products on the market for the younger Potterhead, like the Harry Potter Real Talking Sorting Hat and the Harry Potter Wizard Training Wands (click through to read our detailed reviews of these) but what about us originals? Where can you find great Harry Potter gifts for adults?
Harry Potter Wizard Training Wand
The now ‘grown up’ recipient who might still want to embrace our inner wizard? Pyramid Shop have a fab selection of Harry Potter gifts, merchandise and products, a small selection of which I will be showcasing a few below.
Marauders Map Sequin Notebook (RRP £14.99)
Inspired by the magical parchment that reveals the current location of anyone on the grounds of Hogwarts, this sequin reveal notebook is sure to be a big hit with Potterheads young and old. Swipe your hand up the cover to reveal the words “I solemnly swear that I am up to no good”. Swipe down and the cover changes to “Mischief Managed”. There are a huge 7728 sequins on the cover, making it perfect for to do lists, note taking, magic planning and spell writing!
Harry Potter Eco Travel Mug (RRP £9.99)
We are making a real effort to reduce our single use plastic consumption and be more sustainable at the moment, so this Harry Pottery Eco Travel Mug is the ideal solution for witches, wizards and muggles on the go who want to refill and reuse. Made from rice husk, an 100% natural and durable by-product of rice, these mugs are environmentally friendly, BPA free and look great.

Another sustainable and super stylish option is these metal travel mugs made from recyclable stainless steel with the classic Hogwarts Express design. The Harry Potter Metal Travel mug features a non drip lid to avoid spillages whether you’re a Potterhead at home, on the go or travelling to Hogwarts! It has a double walled interior so no need for a rubber sleeve to protect your hands, and is the ideal solution for keeping cold drinks cool and warm drinks warm – ideal for parents on the run where the chances of getting a hot drink is normally pretty slim!
For Mini Wizards and Muggles alike…
For those of you with teeny tiny wannabe wizards at home, or parents who wish to introduce a bit of the HP magic to their newborns – you are going to love the new aden + anais Harry Potter collection – behold the most magical muslin ever!!!

The Classic Dream blanket is 120cm square with a double sided design, clouds and golden snitches on the one side, and stars and lightning bolts on the other.
WOW Stuff Harry Potter Invisibility Cloak
One of my favourite parts of the Harry Potter stories is when Harry gets given his very own Invisibility Cloak and the look on Ron’s face when Harry’s body disappears is quite the picture. Now muggles and wannabe wizards for the first time can actually dissappear (or at least appear to!) using the fab new Harry Potter Invisibility Cloak (click through for our review) or see it in action in our video below!

Harry Potter LEGO
When it comes to the higher price point Harry Potter gifts, you really can’t go wrong with the Harry Potter LEGO range. If you’re comfortable making a bit of an investment both in terms of money and time, then the Hogwarts Clock Tower is a truly beautiful set. This 3 level set comes with 8 mini figures including Harry, Ron and Hermione, and includes famous Harry Potter Hogwarts scene settings such as the Defense Against the Dark Arts classroom, Dumbledore’s Office, Hospital Wing, Prefects’ Bathroom and a Yule Ball scene.
We absolutely love the clock changing mechanism and moving dance floor!
