Over the past two decades, Harry Potter [1] has taught us a whole lot about love [2] — so when one fan posted the story of her magical Hogwarts engagement [3] on Reddit, even Muggles couldn't help melting at the sweetness. "I woke up to surprise plane tickets. In front of the castle, he got down on one knee, presented me a wand with the ring upon it, and promised to stay with me until the very end," she wrote of her fiancé's Wizarding World of Harry Potter [4] proposal.

Like J.K. Rowling said in Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, "We can't choose our fate, but we can choose others." Hand in hand, these two lovebirds are about to begin a new journey with that flighty temptress, adventure . . . and we can't imagine a more romantic way to start a life together. Just wait until you see the wand and ring!

The Wand Chooses the Wizard

"Instead of a normal ring box for the proposal, he pulled out (a well hidden!) box with a wand and the ring placed on it like so," wrote the newly affianced Redditor, who posted this follow-up photo [5] of her ring nestled into an Ollivander's box around Hermione's replica wand. "He knew Hermione was my favorite, and it's one of the interactive wands that let you cast spells in the parks!"
