For a fan of Hogwarts, Hogsmeade and anything that transports them out of the muggle world and into a place where they feel at home amongst wizards, it's important to have the right gear.
Toys and other merch are fun and entertaining, but wearable fan merch is the ultimate way to display your undying loyalty and meet other fans who notice your allegiance. The items on this list are worn and carried to show off how near and dear to your heart house elves, patronuses and potions are. Read on for the best ways to keep Harry Potter with you all day long.
A Snitch in Time Ring
This is a beautifully designed, highly detailed ring with a three-dimensional golden snitch perched on top of a gleaming, stainless steel ring. The jewelry is unisex and appeals to fans both young and old.
This is officially licensed Harry Potter merchandise, high quality and true to the fandom. It is a subtle Harry Potter accessory, as only fans will be able to recognize the Golden Snitch, perched atop your finger with its fluttering wings spread out side to side, wrapping around you securely. To have the Golden Snitch is of great value and knowing that it is securely on your hand will make any day go better.
Just in Time Platform 9 3/4 Watch
This watch has a Platform 9 3/4 logo on the face, with classic arms to keep you on time for all of your journeys, to places both muggle and magical. The strap is faux leather and a mahogany hue, with a silver plated buckle sporting the Harry Potter logo.
This is officially licensed merchandise, directly supporting the Harry Potter franchise. The subtle design makes this another great option for an accessory that isn't too on-the-nose or in-your-face, but friends and fans will surely recognize the reference. It works as an excellent conversation starter as well. Every time you look down to check the hour, you will be reminded of some of your favorite stories and characters.
Straight Outta Eeylops Hedwig Backpack
What is the Harry Potter universe without creatures, pets and animals? This backpack features the most famous pet of all in the world of Harry Potter - his beloved owl, Hedwig. Hedwig was collected from the Eeylops Owl Emporium, gifted to Harry by his good friend Hagrid for his 11th birthday.
The bag is black on the bottom and back side, while the outward-facing side features Hedwig's face, complete with bright yellow eyes on the top flap, with her belly on a wide front pouch. Two side pockets indicate wings resting at her side. This is a great gift for a student, or for yourself to take on adventures.
Slytherin House Headband
As '80s and '90s fashions are back in style, headbands are cool again - what better way to participate in a trend, than to combine it with Harry Potter adoration. This headband features the Slytherin crest on the side, with a green and silver pattern wrapping around the band, representing the sneakiest students well, in the classic Slytherin house colors.
This is officially licensed merchandise, also available in the other three Hogwarts houses, if desired. The band fits most teens and adults, measuring 2 inches thick and 5 1/2 inches tall. This headband is a huge hit for fans who have some hair to push back, revealing their cool scars.
Expecto Conforto Slippers
These comfy cushions for your feet are great for lounging around at home, digging into chocolate frogs and bacon sandwiches. The slippers feature the spell, "Expecto Patronum," with the head of a stag, surrounded by sparkles and bolts.
This represents Harry Potter's patronus, in the same form as his father, James', animagus. The silver embroidery on a dark background evokes the conjuring of a patronus. These are mule slippers, so there is no constraint at the back by the heel, making them easy to slip on and off at will. They are officially licensed, with the Harry Potter logo on the back - and they are made of fleece, so you can roam around your castle without getting chilly toes.
"I Solemnly Swear That I am up to no Good" Snapback Hat
This grey hat with a black peak is classy and subtle, wearable without being too obvious - but the quote on the front is sure to remind even a casual Harry Potter fan of the charm and magic of the wizard world.
The quote, "I solemnly swear that I am up to no good," references the Marauder's Map, a magical layout of Hogwarts that enables its user to see locations of people all over the castle. The user must solemnly swear that they are up to no good, or the map will not reveal its information to them. This is a high quality embroidered hat, made from 100% acrylic wool, making it last through all of your rule-breaking.
Ravenclaw Wizarding Bathrobe
Sometimes you want to sport your fan gear in public so that everyone knows that you roll with Dumbledore, Dobby and Harry. But other times, you need gear that supports an annual Harry Potter movie marathon, without getting too dressed up.
This robe is polyester and fleece, nice and cozy for a drafty apartment. The hood and sleeves are oversized for extra wizard style and roomier comfort. The robe is available in other houses as well, but if you're a Ravenclaw at heart, this one's for you. One size will fit most adults and the house crest is woven on the front of the robe. Chill out in this gear after a rough run-in with a Whomping Willow.
Tried the Rest, Try the Crest Ankle Socks
Ankle socks are the most comfortable fit for a lot of people - not too tight or hot, they make a great gift for any size and shape. These socks come in all four houses, whether you're a Ravenclaw, Slytherin, Gryffindor or Hufflepuff.
The name of the house is written across the top border, and the socks follow color schemes that are loyal to the colors of each house. A crest appears on the front of each foot - take these jogging, shopping or up on a broom for a quick round of Quidditch. These are well-made, officially licensed socks and the best choice for breathable Harry Potter footwear.
Kept on a Tight Leash Dobby Necklace
It's hard not to be madly in love with Dobby, if you are any kind of Harry Potter fan. With his inherent goodness, kindness, loyalty and endearing relationship with Harry Potter, Dobby captures hearts easily.
With this necklace, you can keep him right next to the heart he's stolen, on a silver plated pendant. Dobby stands looking up sheepishly with his hands behind his back, wearing his pillowcase outfit. The charm is on a silver plated snake chain, measuring 16 inches in length and it comes with a 2 1/2 inch extender chain. This is a sweet gift for a loved one or a great way to keep Dobby at your side in case you are in need of a brave friend.
Gryffindor Quidditch Captain Jersey
This jersey is a replica of the one worn by Harry Potter, in Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince. It is a slim fit, making it good casual wear as it isn't too baggy or sporty to function as a regular t shirt. The neckline is round and finely ribbed, protecting it from becoming too stretched or misshapen over time.
The raglan sleeves create a wider area under the arm, making it easier to layer this under a jacket or a Gryffindor sweater. The shirt is 100% cotton, making it great for all temperatures and breathable for spontaneous Snitch-chasing.
