Harry Potter Candles For Magical Fall Days

Autumn is the perfect season for Harry Potter fans — a time to indulge in Butterbeer and pumpkin pasties. Autumn is also the perfect season for candles — so it makes sense that readers could combine their love of the series and their love of the season by purchasing lots of Harry Potter candles.

In summer, it’s so warm that you may not think about lighting a candle, but once the air turns crisp it’s the perfect time to break out your candle collection. It should also be mentioned that autumn candle scents are obviously the best. Summer scenes include things like “sand” and “ocean.” Spring is consumed with flowery smells. Winter is a runner-up, but nothing beats the fall scents of leaves, cinnamon, apples, and of course, pumpkin.

Since these scents are basically already Harry Potter themed, if you go ahead and add these wonderful scents to the world of Harry Potter. Is there any better pairing than a book and a candle? Well, maybe if you add tea, you’ll have the perfect triple threat. You can Apparate into the wizarding world through the pure magic of candles… Here are a few of my favorites.

1. Hagrid's Pumpkin Patch
