From the tasty treats to the enchanting decorations [1], I like to think Harry Potter [2] and Christmas go hand in hand, which is why seeing this Harry Potter pop-up Advent calendar made my eyes go wider than Ron's the first time he saw the spread at the Great Feast. The Harry Potter: A Hogwarts Christmas Pop-Up Advent Calendar ($40), made by publisher Insight Editions, is an interactive look at Christmas in the wizarding world, making it the perfect gift for the little witch or wizard [3] in your life (or, if you're me, for yourself).
The spellbinding Advent calendar [4] features a detailed artistic rendition of the Great Hall itself and a 13-inch Christmas tree (that can easily be expanded to 13 feet with a simple engorgio charm, *winks*). The calendar also includes 25 removable ornaments inspired by items and characters from the film and a 20-page booklet explaining the history behind each magical object. Brilliant!
I might not be able to get my hands on an initialed holiday sweater knitted by Molly Weasley [5] herself, but I certainly wouldn't mind finding one of these under my Christmas tree this year. See the magic unfold here, and shop the spellbinding Advent calendar [6] ahead to make your little wizard's Hogwarts Christmas dreams a reality.
