Harry Potter Gift Tips & Suggestions
Books & Movies
Obviously, check to see which books/movies the recipient already has. While there are some DVD editions with extra content, most don’t have very much bonus content (unlike the Lord of the Rings extended editions).
Magical Wands
In Harry Potter’s world, each wand is unique. Each of the characters in the movies has a uniquely recognizable wand. When purchasing a wand, you should likely choose the wand that matches the recipients favorite character.
