As a millennial, the most redundant thing in my life would be to explain who Harry Potter is to someone. Harry Potter has always been all the rage growing up, and even for those younger than me. It gave me dreams, of flying on broomsticks, of playing for Gryffindor (I was one, Pottermore said so) in Quidditch, or attending Professor McGonagall’s Transfiguration lessons. More often than not I would daydream of being an Animgus, trotting down the halls spying on the Slytherins. You could only imagine my exhilaration when I got the first of my Harry Potter accessories- a Gryffindor notebook.
In this blog, Feedhour will illustrate some of the best Harry Potter accessories that you can get for yourself or gift to any Potterhead out there.
What is The Harry Potter Universe?
The Harry Potter Universe encompasses the vast fictitious realm created by British author J.K. Rowling in her renowned book series, Harry Potter. The protagonist, Harry Potter, explores the magical wizarding world inside this universe which he crosses through the 9¾ Quarter. The series is set in the backdrop of locations like Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry where young witches and wizards learn incantations, make potions and explore magical items, the Forbidden Forest where many mystical creatures reside, Grimmauld’s Place, Privet Drive, The Burrow and more.
The series has a total of seven volumes, beginning with the first book Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone where Hagrid comes and tells Harry about the story of his life- “You are a wizard Harry”, he says, and his entire world changes and concluding with the Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, where the showdown between the good and the evil concludes. The story delves into themes of camaraderie, courage, affection, and the conflict between righteousness and malevolence, as Harry and his companions confront obstacles presented by the maleficent wizard Lord Voldemort.
Besides the primary novels, the Harry Potter Universe has extended its reach via many media outlets, including films, spin-offs like “Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them,” theme park attractions, dedicated merchandise, Harry Potter Accessories and a dedicated internet platform known as Pottermore, now known as Wizarding World, where you can learn spells and get sorted into your own houses. You can even play many games that surround the mystery of Hogwarts- like Hogwarts Legacy. The series has achieved widespread cultural acclaim, capturing viewers globally and establishing a complex and intricate fabric of mystical stories and characters.
