10 Party Items From Amazon That Will Turn Your House Into Hogwarts

The onset of the cold season is a special time for Harry Potter fans. For many, this is the time to wrap up in a blanket and reread books or watch movies about the magical world. Some Reddit users share that they rewatch all parts of the movie saga every year! For lovers of the magical world, we offer to build Hogwarts at home. Throw a Halloween or a themed Christmas party with these atmospheric decorations from Amazon.

1. Set up an entrance to platform 9 and 3/4 at King’s Cross station. Run at full speed!

How to use:

Perfect for Potter fans.
This was great, we had a lockdown party and used this as the entrance to our dining room where the ‘party’ was taking place. My son absolutely loved it, it was a little wide for our door frame but better than short :)

A must for any Harry Potter party.
This was a great find for a Harry Potter baby shower I hosted. Everyone took photos with it all night, and it really completed the decor. It’s great that it comes with wooden doors to keep it upright and sturdy. Would highly recommend.

Amazing value for money, ordered this as a backdrop for a Harry Potter party, it was great, got some fab photos of the kids in their robes against it. I was able to stick it to the wall with double sided tape.

Love it.
This is a great poster and fits my door just right. A perfect addition to my Harry Potter-themed room. Quality paper, lovely shine to it, and not flimsy at all. She’s become a much-talked-about item in our house.
