This potion makes for some of the funniest moments throughout Harry, Ron and Hermione’s journeys, so why not add its name and symbol onto a hip flask to give your guests a curious treat when they unpack it.
Make sure you don’t forget to list the ingredients including the lacewing flies, shredded boomslang skin and the fluxweed that must be picked at a full moon.
Wall Art
Wall art and decorations that can immediately be put up around the living room are some of the best wedding favors since they show that you have taken the time to really demonstrate your gratitude and thanks to each and every guest in attendance, and you can’t go wrong with some small customized Harry Potter wall art whether it’s an image, a quote or even a hand drawn illustration of some memorable locations and characters, you can be sure every guest will cherish the gift and never forget how special the ceremony was.
Harry Potter Candy
One part of Harry Potter that for many people is always something they will never forget is how unique and interesting the foods are, and who better to serve some delicious and sweet candy than wizardry confectioner Bertie Bott?
When buying a pack of her delightful Jelly Belly Beans, it will come with a mixture of iconic flavors including the iconic earwax and vomit, however they don’t really taste this bad, so there’s no need to worry about guests throwing them away as soon as they take a bite.
They are actually very sweet and appetizing and a great gift for both adults and children to enjoy.
Temporary Tattoos
These are fun little gifts that everyone can have fun trying out as soon as they get home, and since they’re not permanent, even those guests who aren’t tattoo lovers can add some magical decorations to their bodies, just to see how it would look.
A lightning bolt, Harry’s goggles or even the face of the adorable Dobby, there are such a wide variety of temporary tattoos from the series to choose from that it can be a great idea to buy a few at a time and mix and match them so every guest gets a different one to take home and try out in the mirror.

Potion Bottle Lights
Potion bottles are synonymous with Harry Potter and can be seen lying all around Hogwarts and especially in the classrooms, however they don’t just need to contain potions that can turn us into an animal or suddenly fling us into the air.
Some fairy lights placed into a slightly larger shaped potion bottle is a delicate gift which everyone is sure to be lighting up by their bedside as soon as the sun goes down.
Harry Potter Page Clips
Excellent for books, calendars and planners, page clips are an accessory that many of us think we don’t need until we are desperately trying to find the page we left off in our new favorite novel.
