These 13 Harry Potter Accessories Are So Subtle Only A True Fan Will Notice Them

by Melissa Ragsdale

If there's one thing Harry Potter fans love, it's Harry Potter merchandise — bedsheets, pillows, posters, wine glasses, clothing, backpacks, necklaces. You name it, someone sells it, and you can buy it right now.

But what if you want to keep things a little more chill? What if you want to spread some Harry Potter cheer in your home but you don't want to decorate everything in gold and red like the Gryffindor common room? That's where these 13 subtle Harry Potter home decorations come into play. These sheets, welcome mats, candles, and more will add a little bit of Harry Potter panache to your space without completely taking over your aesthetic.

So, if you're looking to give your place just a teeny tiny spark of that wizarding world magic, here are some items that will help you update your home in true Harry Potter fashion. Trust me when I say that some of these are so subtle only the true fans will recognize them — so consider these a little test for anyone who enters your home. And the best part? You don't even have to travel to Diagon Alley to get these for you and all your friends:
