Pottery Barn Teen

The next best things to an admissions letter to Hogwarts are these Harry Potter-themed gifts any die-hard fan will love.

It's not a (magic) trick, it's true: It's been over 25 years since the first Harry Potter novel was released. The book opened up a magical world of wonders with iconic characters who have timeless appeal. Rivaling the fandom levels of Marvel and Lord of the Rings, Harry Potter has a passionate fan base filled with adults, teenagers and children alike.

Back to Hogwarts Day, happening on September 1, marks the day when wizards will board the Hogwarts Express on Platform 9 3/4 for their upcoming magical school year at Hogwarts. While many of us are lowly Muggles who did not get the acceptance letter to Hogwarts, it's still an occasion worth celebrating. 

Since Back to Hogwarts Day is a holiday in itself, give the "Potterheads" in your life what they want: Wizarding World-themed collectibles and merch. Ranging across categories of apparel, home decor, kitchenware and accessories, we've found Harry Potter gifts every fan will get excited about. 

If you know a loved one who is a Potterphile or you're a Potterhead yourself, look ahead to find the coolest Harry Potter-inspired gift ideas to give (or keep) this season. Ahead, shop ET's favorite Harry Potter gifts for the upcoming Back to Hogwarts Day.
