What Would “Harry Potter” Characters Have on Their Christmas Lists?

by · December 24, 2019

What would Harry, Hermione, and Ron want for Christmas? Everyone enjoys the festive and fun atmosphere of the holidays at Hogwarts. Between the great feast, snowball fights, and absent homework, it’s a glorious time to be a wizard. What everyone loves the most are the presents! We searched all over the castle to discover these lists, some of which were on desks and others that were tucked away in an owl’s cage. While Dobby invited us warmly into the kitchens and was happy to hand his list over, not everyone was as willing. Dumbledore was hesitant, but at the risk of getting another pair of socks, he relented. Hagrid offered us rock cakes along with his list, but we understandably declined. From gathering all these lists together, we were able to identify what each individual wanted for Christmas.

  • Socks, of course

  • Another tea cozy made by Molly
  • A Gryffindor jumper, because Dobby is a Gryffindor at heart
  • A biography about Harry (as long as it’s not written by Rita Skeeter)
  • A SPEW Badge gifted to him from Hermione

 

Dumbledore

  • New colorful robes from Twilfitt and Tatting’s
  • Bertie Botts Every Flavor Beans, as long as there are no earwax or vomit-flavored ones
