It’s been 20 years since Harry Potter and the Sorceror’s Stone was released, and at this point, it’s pretty clear that this beloved series isn’t going away, any time soon. New fans are discovering the books every day, especially now that the OG fans are having their own children.
While you may have a mile long list of the Harry Potter merchandise that you want for yourself, you might not know what to get the younger, emerging Harry Potter superfans in your life.
This is a critical time in their fandom development, and you want to be sure you get them started on the right track. Bringing someone into the Harry Potter fandom can be a lot of pressure, so we thought we’d help you out by making this list of gifts that your favorite little witch or wizard is sure to love!
The ‘Harry Potter’ illustrated editions
What better way to experience the Harry Potter books for the first time than with the illustrated editions? Each book features tons of beautiful, full-page illustrations by Jim Kay that make the story come alive in a whole new way.
Make story time with your child even more fun by introducing them to the world of Harry Potter while introducing yourself to these gorgeous, artistic interpretations.
Get your illustrated copies of Sorceror’s Stone and Chamber of Secrets from Amazon, now! Prisoner of Azkaban will be released on October 3, 2017.
A ‘Harry Potter’ coloring book
The illustrated editions of Harry Potter are amazing, allowing you to see Jim Kay’s interpretations of the world. However, one of the most magical aspects of reading Harry Potter will always be creating parts of the world in your own mind.
The Harry Potter coloring books, fun for both kids and adults, allow you to put your own interpretations on the page! Fill some of the most iconic scenes from the movies with the colors and accents that made them your own.
You can choose from one of the many different Harry Potter coloring books that Amazon has to offer. They have versions for magical creatures, locations, Fantastic Beasts and more.
Bertie Bott’s Every Flavour Beans
Each box of Bertie Bott’s Every Flavour Beans is like a game. Not only is it cool to be eating the same snacks that Harry and Dumbledore enjoy, but it also turns into a hilarious game of taste roulette. Young Harry Potter fans will laugh for hours trying to guess if they’ll be eating a lime, or a grass flavoured jelly bean.
Get your child’s new favorite snack from Amazon, now!
‘Harry Potter’ pencils
Your little witch or wizard might not be able to attend Hogwarts this fall, but you can still make sure their education is as magical as possible with these Harry Potter inspired pencils.
There are a few different sets of Harry Potter pencils on Etsy, but we love this set from thecarboncrusader, and this one from IceyDesigns.
The most magical tote a reader could ask for
Let’s face it, reading Harry Potter is definitely going to set any child up for a life time of reading. The series already accomplished it for one generation, and it’s poised to keep up the trend! With that said, they’ll need something to carry all of their favorite worlds in.
You’d better get this tote from naturapicta on Etsy quick, before the books start piling up.
Their own magical pet
The WB Studio Tour online store has plenty of plush pets for your child to tote around, but this little Fang is definitely our favorite. Every child needs a cowardly watch dog to walk with them through their formative years.
A Hogwarts backpack

Now you have the Accio tote to carry around all the Harry Potter books your child could ask for, but they’ll likely need some other school supplies to add to their pencils. With this backpack, they can show off their house pride, Hogwarts style.
Get the backpack, decked out for any Hogwarts house, at the WB online store.
Their own robes
Madam Malkin may or may not have stitched these robes herself, but either way, you favorite little witch or wizard will still look adorably stylish in them. Cancel all future plans for Halloween, movie premiere, and just general life costumes. Your child is covered.

A bath time fit for Bellatrix Lestrange
LUSH is giving you the opportunity to have a bath that’s fit for a death eater with their “Secret Arts Jelly Bomb.” Place it into your kids bath water and watch it transform into a bubbling, dark potion, which eventually turns into a pink love potion!
This is one of many Harry Potter inspired bath bombs that have emerged on the market, but unfortunately most, including the sorting bath bomb, are no longer available.
The chance to build Hogwarts
While your child constructs the world of Harry Potter in their mind, why not let them construct Hogwarts in their room! This challenging puzzle would be a great activity for the whole family to do together, and it would make an amazing centre piece to any superfan’s home.
Get this fun and beautiful puzzle at the WB online store. You can also get the Astronomy Tower to complete the castle!

We’ve all tried casting simple spells in hopes that we might reveal our hidden inner wizard, and this decal will make you feel like it’s finally working!
Get the decal from VinylInfinity on Etsy.
A cavity
Our mouths still water when we hear about Harry’s visits to Honeydukes in his later years at Hogwarts. Luckily, many of the delicious sweets described in the Harry Potter books now exist in real life!
You’ll rival the trolley lady when you bring home Chocolate Frogs, Peppermint Toads, and Fizzing Whizbees. Get all of these sweets and more from the WB Studio Tour online store.
Swaddle them in ‘Harry Potter’
