The best Harry Potter gifts
Clementoni Harry Potter Wizarding World Hagrid's Hut Terrarium
Although this terrarium is aimed at slightly older children, we reckon it's a lovely gift to do together while learning the importance of taking care of plants. Create the ‘hut’ and the pumpkins then paint before layer up your terrarium and planting your seeds.
Harry Potter Dobble
You're probably already aware of this game of speedy observation but now you can buy a Harry Potter version! Suitable for two to eight players, simply spot the only one matching symbol between any two cards before anyone else to claim the card.
Review: "Such a simple game but brilliant fun. Can be infuriating when you just can’t see the matching picture, but it's a great game - my children will play for hours."
Yume Toys Harry Potter Real Talking Sorting Hat
We've all wondered what Hogwarts house we'd be sorted into and now you can find out! Place this realistic sorting hat on any young witch or wizard's head, press the button and wait while it determines which Hogwarts house they shall call home. Featuring an animated mouth and four unique audio responses, this is bound to be a big hit.
Review: "I was surprised and delighted to discover this was exactly like the real thing! We used it to display on top of the Christmas tree in place of the usual fairy, but it didn’t stay there long as it kept being taken down to delight us with its authenticity. Certainly value for money, a must-have for all Harry Potter fans."
Golden Ball Fidget Hand Spinner
If your tot can't stay still, this golden snitch-inspired fidget spinner will do just the job and will help alleviate stress, calm the mind and aid with concentration.
Review: "Bought as a gift for Christmas. It's been well-loved is all I'm saying. I did think it was a fad like most fidgets, but this glides and is so smooth it's hypnotic."

Choose from different characters' wands including Harry, Hermione and Ron.
Review: "My little girl wanted a wand as her older sister had been gifted one. She absolutely loves it. It's a little pricey for what it is and the app is ok but the smile on my daughter's face tells me it's great value."

Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix
They might be too young to read the books yet but children will love the illustrated editions of Harry Potter complete with eclectic illustrations by Jim Kay and Neil Packer to truly bring the boy wizard to life. This latest release is the fifth in the series, Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix.
Review: "Reading HP with my 8-year-old and we LOVE these illustrated books. Each page is detailed in some small way but the illustrations are just beautifully done, which really helps to bring the story alive in small minds. These have really helped my son gain a love for reading."
