Looking through all the amazing Harry Potter merchandise available on the web can feel as wondrous as browsing through Diagon Alley with a pocketful of Galleons. Literally anything you can imagine from the Harry Potter universe has been turned into an object that you can buy off the internet. Even Muggle items can be Harry Potter-themed! It's truly an exciting time to be alive.

But in the wide world of wizarding merchandise, there are of course some items that are classics — the type of things every single Potter fan needs to own. From the Potter apparel we wear proudly when we want to dress to impress, to the items that decorate our rooms. Really, some of these I don't see how a Harry Potter fan could live without. That would be like Quidditch without brooms, or Mad-Eye without his hip flask, or Dumbledore without a twinkle in his eye! Some things are just necessary, you know?

Here's an essential list of Harry Potter merchandise, from clothing to tchotchkes. If you're a true Harry Potter fan, you've definitely got these in your Hogwarts trunk. And if you don't, now's your chance to level-up and make your life all the more Potter-ific.
