2. Alex and Ani Deathly Hallows Ring; $28

Alex and Ani

3. Harry Potter and the Cursed Child: The Journey; $27

Harry Potter Theatrical Productions/Amazon

4. Hogwarts House Throw Blanket; $28-$45

Harry Potter/Amazon

It’ll be only too easy for someone to imagine themselves curled up beside a Hogwarts common room fire when wrapped in one of these cozy throw blankets. Not only do they come in each Hogwarts House, there’s also one with the Hogwarts crest, a Marauder’s Map version, and another design that incorporates all four Hogwarts Houses.

5. Wizard’s Chess Set; $40

The Noble Collection/Amazon

Though these chessmen and women won’t barbarically battle each other on the board or offer their players questionable advice during the game, they’re still an impressive replica of those seen in Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone. And, since they correspond to the rooks, knights, and other pieces in a normal chess set, this gift can be enjoyed by both Harry Potter fans and regular chess fans, too.

6. The Unofficial Harry Potter Cookbook; $11

Adams Media

The mouthwatering written descriptions of feasts in the Great Hall and treats on the Hogwarts Express are rivaled only by the visual depictions in the films. From Harry’s favorite treacle tart to a refreshing flagon of pumpkin juice, this deliciously comprehensive cookbook contains them all.

7. Customized Polyjuice Potion Flask; $15-$20

Hip Flask Plus/Amazon

Whether this flask holds actual Polyjuice Potion or something more appetizing (Madam Rosmerta’s finest oak-matured mead, perhaps?) is a mystery to all but the drinker, but it’ll definitely be clear to whom the flask belongs—it comes in red, purple, or black, and you can customize it with the recipient’s name.

8. LEGO Hogwarts Castle; $400

LEGO/Amazon

At $400 and with more than 6000 pieces, LEGO’s Hogwarts castle is not for the faint of heart—but it’s a dream come true for any LEGO-loving Potterhead. Complete with the Chamber of Secrets, the Whomping Willow, Hagrid’s hut, and more than 30 Harry Potter characters, this epic set will stoke the imaginations of kids and adults alike. For another LEGO option that’ll take up a little less space in the living room (and the budget), check out this Great Hall set.

9. Dobby Socks; $7

Deyuan/Amazon

Fans can commemorate Dobby’s dogged devotion with a pair of comfy socks. These are much cleaner than the one Harry used to free the endearing elf in Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets, and they’re also appropriate for more formal events, since the text will be hidden by your shoes.

10. Golden Snitch Table Lamp; $30

Paladone/Amazon

Without a Lumos spell to light the night, we Muggles must rely on artificial means. Having said that, there are some pretty magical light fixtures on the market—this Golden Snitch-themed lamp is powered by a USB cable and turns on when you tap the top of the bell jar.

11. Hogwarts Stamp Sealing Wax Kit; $18

Powstro/Amazon

Part of Harry Potter’s charm comes from the way it blends the magical with the medieval. Teleportation is totally possible, for example, yet students still write with quills and ink. Forget licking envelopes—seal them shut with this delightfully old-fashioned wax and stamp kit that features the Hogwarts crest.

12. Harry Potter with Hedwig Super-Sized Funko Pop!; $81

Amazon/Funko

Standing 18 inches tall, this super-sized Harry Potter Pop! absolutely towers over the company’s standard figures. With Hedwig at his side, Harry’s look is as classic as they come, sporting his Hogwarts robe and a scarf that’s so intricately detailed that it even mimics a handwoven texture. Just like the other Pop! figures, it’s made of vinyl and is ready to display right when you take it out of the box.

13. The Marauder’s Map Guide to Hogwarts; $12

Scholastic/Amazon

Much like Harry’s lit wand tip illuminated easily overlooked details of the castle throughout the series, the wand included with this guide book doubles as an invisible ink pen and blacklight, which will reveal some of Hogwarts’s secrets when hovered over parts of the Marauder’s Map. Younger Potterheads will also have fun creating their own map (from invisible or real ink) with the special blank parchment paper in the back of the book.

14. Gringotts Bank; $24

Harry Potter/Amazon

Because Gringotts is the safest place in the world for something you want to hide (besides the Room of Requirement, of course), here’s a 9.5-inch-tall replica of the wizarding bank where fans can store coins, bills, and other pint-sized secrets through the slot in the back. It also has a hole in the bottom, plugged with a rubber stopper, so its contents can be easily emptied.
