13 Harry Potter Ornaments To Deck Your Great Hall This Holiday Season

by E. Ce Miller

Though the haunting Halloween season has long given way to the winter holidays, true Potterheads know that Harry Potter love lasts all year long. All that Harry Potter love calls for some serious Harry Potter holiday decorating — and these fun and festive Harry Potter holiday ornaments are just the thing to trim your tree or deck your halls this holiday season. (After all, even though it is best known for its bewitching and ghostly residents, nobody decorates for Christmas like the folks at Hogwarts Castle. Don’t even get me started on Hogsmeade.)

Actually — let’s do talk about Hogsmeade. Because that charming snow globe of a setting somehow always looks like it’s taken straight off the front of a Hallmark holiday card. The snowy cobblestone streets; the cozy thatched-roofed cottages; the holly garlands lining neighborhood gates; the steaming mugs of butterbeer; Harry, Ron, and Hermione running around in their Gryffindor scarves — everything about it says holiday cheer.

So, whether you’re solidly representing your Hogwarts House (#RavenclawForever) or happy to spread any and all Harry Potter holiday cheer, check out these 14 Harry Potter holiday ornaments to deck your halls this holiday season, Hogwarts-style. The best part is: you don’t even have to travel all the way to Platform 9 ¾ to get them.

Straight out of Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone, this Hallmark ornament is inspired by the life-sized chess game that almost clobbered Ron. (In ornament-size though, of course.)
