Harry Potter gift ideas?
My friend is obssesd with Harry Potter. Shes turning fifteen in early July. I want to try and put together a Hogwarts care package for her birthday present!! so far i bought a wand, im about to order a Serious Black wanted poster and two school books. I want to get some of the cany and fill a few cool jars with “potion ingredients”. Im going to write her a letter on parchment like im her mum sending her the stuff during the school year.
Is there anything I could add/ change? How should i present the gift? any ideas would rock, thanks!
Ah this is a great question! I just happen to be obsessed with Harry Potter also!! Well the wand is a great idea, and so is the poster (its Sirius Black, not Serious Black- but you were close!). School books are also a nice touch! As far as candy goes I recommend Ice Mice, Drooble’s Best Blowing Gum, Bertie Botts Every Flavor beans, Fizzing Whizbees, and acid pops! The Bertie Botts beans can be found at several stores, especially books stores around this time of year! (Harry Potter book 7 coming out soon!!). The other candies are actually available at ebay:

If you feel like getting her something else as well, I know that as a big fan myself, I’ve always wanted some robes too (you know…like robes that they wear at Hogwarts!), either that or a scarf from whichever House your friend likes best (Gryffindor, Ravenclaw, Hufflepuff, Slytherin). As far as presenting the gift, it really depends on the situation and supplies at hand, but it might be a great touch if this were a suprise party and when she came in you could play Harry Potter music, and have decorations like candles (often used in Harry Potter) and other such things. A great place for all of these things (including some of the candy) is:

If the party is already a set date, it might be neat to present the gift by wrapping your gifts like a parcel or package such as in the movies. Then you could address it creatively like: Your friends name; her address; and the specific location of where she is currently. Have fun! Your friend is so lucky!!
