Once a Potter-head, always a Potter-head. But chances are they already have posters, a replica wand and an animatronic owl; so we dug deep. Even the most dedicated fans will be caught off guard by the gifts we’ve found. While some scream “I love Harry Potter!” others whisper “I am completely obsessed with Harry Potter!”

Can you pinpoint the smell of bravery? How about loyalty or a sense of adventure? If this candle is as accurate as the sorting hat, that scent is a blend of cedarwood, nutmeg, lemon zest and “fireplace”— with a dash of vanilla and sandalwood. The Gryffindor in your life will feel right at home.

If your kid isn’t writing to you enough from college (and has an affinity for retro means of communication), give them a reason to put pen to paper with a Hogwarts-themed stationery and journal set.

Here’s a high-quality duvet for the sophisticated superfan. From a distance it looks like a simple luxurious bed covering, but up close you can see it’s embroidered with a repeat pattern of H’s and house crests.

While many fans dream of being a Quidditch star or potions professor, some yearn for the peace and quiet of the Hogwarts gamekeeper.

It’s not always easy when you have a Hufflepuff and Slytherin living under the same roof. If there’s one thing they’d both adore, it’s stockings repping their house.

For any kid who wants to mark their territory while keeping Muggles out, a personalized door sign is the most efficient way to maintain privacy short of a colloportus (a spell that locks doors). Great for kids 12 and under, and (in an ironic way) for anyone 16 and older.

Nothing looks better on a desk than a classy quill and inkwell—and nothing smells better than the lavender blend included with this ceramic essential oil diffuser. Yep, this inkwell is actually a reed diffuser. So while it can’t be used for writing, it pairs well with many aesthetics and makes for a thoughtful holiday or housewarming gift.

The Forbidden Forest is strictly off limits, but if you’re with Hagrid—lighting the way with his signature lantern—you’re fine. This ornament will mean something special to Harry Potter fans, but is also a charming and well-crafted light-up ornament that anyone can enjoy. Batteries included.

This mirror is said to show one's true desire, so when the magic-believer in your life gazes into it, they’ll see only themselves and feel a sense of confidence as if they’ve just been praised by Albus Dumbledore himself.

$34.99

While the real Dobby can be loud and needy, with a habit of inflicting pain on himself, LEGO Dobby is pure charm (and no noise). You won’t have to worry about him smashing his head, but if that happens, your giftee can just refer to the instruction booklet. Cake included; sock not included.
