Harry Potter Gift Ideas: Wands, Brooms, Books, And More
If you've got a young Harry Potter fanatic in the family, then Christmas and Birthday shopping just got a little easier. Thanks to the popularity of the stories and movies, there are many book sets, themed gifts, and even tasty candies for fans. Let's take a look at what's out there to give you some ideas:
Books and Book Sets
If the kids you're shopping for are already fans, they probably have all the books on their shelves, but if you're trying to get new readers interested in the series, giving them the books is a great way. You can start out with Book 1 (Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone, also called Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone in the US) or you might also get one of the nice gift sets that includes all seven novels.
A box set costs about $60 for the series in paperback or about $120 for hardbacks.
If you're trying to fill gaps in a partial collection, here is a list of all the books in the correct reading order:
Reading Order
1. Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone
2. Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets
3. Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban
4. Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire
5. Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix
6. Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince
7. Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows
Harry Potter Wands, Brooms, and Other Toys and Gifts
If your young reader already has the books, then you may try other Harry Potter items as gifts. Just look online, and you can find all sorts of children's toys based on items from the series. Some of these are mass-produced gifts available at Amazon, Walmart, and the like, while others are lovingly crafted one-of-a-kinds (look for these on sites such as Etsy, which feature only handmade items).
Here are some ideas:
Harry's Wand
“Magic” Broom (replicas of the Nimbus 2000)
Sorting Hats
Movies on DVD
T-shirts and Caps
Stationary and Envelopes
Action Figures
Legos (The Durmstrang Ship is cool!)
Board Games (original games as well as JK Rowling versions of classics)
Pillows and Bedding
Robes and Halloween Costumes
Edible Gifts
While toys are always fun, it's hard to go wrong with gifts that kids can eat. In this category, you can find everything from Bertie Botts Every Flavor Jelly Beans (ketchup and pepper, anyone?) to custom cakes from the bakery (you'll have to order ahead of time, but many bakeries can do Potter-themed goodies).
If you fancy yourself a bit of a chef, you can also find recipes online that are inspired by the books. Try a Google search for “Harry Pottery recipes” if you long to make Cauldron Cakes, Jelly Slugs, or Pumpkin Juice.
There you have it: plenty of gift ideas for the young Harry Potter fans in your family. Christmas and birthday shopping should be a piece of cake this year!
