The Best ‘Harry Potter’ Toys for Aspiring Wizards

With seven books and eight movies detailing an all-encompassing magical universe, it is no wonder that Harry Potter is a pop culture phenomenon. Harry Potter transports audiences into a world where witches, wizards, and other magical creatures exist, but it also grounds these characters with a sense of realism. While we do get to watch Harry Potter defeat forest trolls and battle against He Who Must Not Be Named, we also get to watch him fall in love and grieve the absence of his parents. Harry Potter is truly beloved by people of all ages because it is relatable: although it takes place in a wizarding world, the struggles and storylines described are all too real. Here are some fantastic toys that we recommend for aspiring witches and wizards looking to bring the magic of Harry Potter into their everyday life.
