The Best Harry Potter Gifts I'd Recommend for Any Potter Fanatic

For fans of the Harry Potter books specifically, there are a surprising number of options available. The items we'd most recommend are the illustrated editions. These are beautiful works of art illustrated by Jim Kay that bring the magic of the story to life. Only the first five books have gotten this treatment, but they are a wonderful gift to give that I have actually even purchased for myself. Outside of that, there is the standard boxed set as well as various extended works that make great gifts we've featured below.

For fans of the Harry Potter movies specifically, the top gift I'd recommend is this 4K UHD and Blu-ray film collection. It includes all eight of the original movies in both glorious 4K and Blu-ray and comes packaged in one set. Although you can currently watch all of the films on Max, it's always good to have physical copies on hand. Separately, the three-film collection of the Fantastic Beasts movies is a worthy addition. We have more suggestions below that are great for any fan of the films, including a replica of the Elder Wand.

Harry Potter and LEGO have been fitting together in perfect harmony for quite some time. There are a ton of different Harry Potter LEGO sets you can choose from, but my top recommendation would be the Hogwarts Castle and Grounds set. We actually had the chance to build this set ourselves and loved it. It's also surprisingly affordable compared to some of the other sets of this size. For more great options, we've gathered more of our top picks for all ages below.

There have been more Harry Potter games than most people even realize, but if you're looking for the absolute best option in 2024, Hogwarts Legacy is the way to go. This game actually takes place long before Harry was even born, but is still set in Hogwarts, Hogsmeade, and the castle grounds. I personally found it's worth playing just for the ability to roam freely around the castle, and IGN actually gave it a glowing review when it first came out thanks to it's expansive world. Outside of this game, we recommend the LEGO Harry Potter video games that were remastered for modern consoles. There's also a slew of Harry Potter board games that are fun for the whole family.

If you're looking for a good Harry Potter gift for someone that seems to already own everything Potter-themed, home decor items are a great way to go. My top pick is an item that I've actually purchased for my brother already. This Marauder's Map throw blanket is super soft and doesn't have to be displayed anywhere – but it's there when you want to bundle up and be warm. We've also included some additional home decor gifts below that are fairly innocuous, like the small Golden Snitch lamp and a mug.
