You think you've had an awkward Valentine's Day date? Listen, Imma let you finish, but Harry Potter and Cho Chang had the most awkward Valentine's Day date of all time. And even that didn't compare to poor Ginny and the singing Valentine she sent Harry in her first year. February 14 is a fickle day of the year for magic and non-magic folk alike, but one thing we can all get behind to make the day more bearable are Harry Potter Valentine's Day gifts — because as they say, the fastest way to a nerd's heart is through fandom merch. (Or as I say. I don't know how the sane half of the world lives, TBH.)
I'm personally such a fan of Valentine's Day in all of its sparkly pink commercialized glory that the literal only thing that could make the holiday better is Harry Potter shenanigans. And praise be to all that is dorky, there is plenty of Potteresque V-Day merch to go around. If you want to woo a Muggle or a Non-Maj with wizard swag this year, problem solved! Gift them with any of these and you'll be guaranteed to have a ~magical~ day:
