Why ‘Harry Potter’ is a great Christmas theme

Every Christmas, 12 towering fir trees are placed in the Great Hall of Hogwarts Castle, bedecked with spectacular ornaments, such as sparkling icicles and real golden owls. Suits of armor are bewitched to sing carols, and students enjoy a sumptuous feast with magical Christmas crackers.

In other locales, the Christmas tree at Grimmauld Place is decorated with live fairies, and the tree at St. Mungo's Hospital features magical snow. At The Burrow, jokesters Fred and George Weasley capture a live garden gnome, paint it gold, glue wings on it and use it as a Christmas tree topper.

Having experienced only bleak Christmases at the Dursley house, Harry finally has happy holidays when he starts attending Hogwarts. “Harry Potter” ornaments capture the wonder and joy of Christmas, reminding fans of this magical time in the series.

One week after submitting an order, the designer sends you a proof of the ornament for you to approve before sending it. The aluminum ornament comes with a hanging ribbon. 

Assemble a ‘Harry Potter’ Christmas village

Intricate Christmas village displays have a stunning visual effect on a long table, credenza or fireplace mantel. While you can buy “Harry Potter” miniatures from different brands, buying pieces from the same collection makes the display more cohesive. The most comprehensive set we found is the collection designed by Design 56, a brand that specializes in Christmas villages and accessories. 

There’s Hogwarts Castle and grounds, including the Great Hall and Marble Staircase Tower, the Astronomy Tower, the Owlery, Hagrid’s hut, the Boathouse and entrance gates; the village of Hogsmeade with Hogsmeade Station, the Shrieking Shack, Honeydukes and The Three Broomsticks; Diagon Alley, with the Leaky Cauldron, Gringotts and the security dragon from “Deathly Hallows,” Weasleys’ Wizard Wheezes, Madam Malkin’s, Flourish and Blotts, Eeylops Owl Emporium and Quality Quidditch Supplies. There’s also the Knight BusBorgin and Burkes, The Burrow and a variety of matching “Harry Potter” figurines depicting characters and magical creatures from the series. We were disappointed to learn that there’s no Ollivander’s or Hogwarts’ Quidditch Pitch, but you can’t have everything.

To make the setup more realistic and detailed, run this cobblestone street roll along the buildings and place these light-up lampposts throughout the display. Bring in some snow-covered winter pines, fairy lights and fluffy or sparkly fake snow to make the display even more Christmassy. As a finishing touch, have this Hogwarts Express train set move around the display.
