Getting a Tax Refund? Time to Relax with These “Harry Potter” Items!

by Mary Wojcicki · April 14, 2021

For witches and wizards in the United States, April 15 is Tax Day, or the day on which federal individual income tax returns are due. While this might not be the most celebratory occasion we can think of, we also know that getting money back in the form of a tax refund can be pretty exciting. If you’re expecting a few extra Galleons soon, we’ve rounded up some of the most magical ways to relax – with some Wizarding World and Wizarding World-inspired merchandise, of course!

 

Candles

If you like to relax and unwind with a scented candle, we’ve got you covered. No matter your preference, you’re sure to find something you enjoy. The first item on our list is this Weasleys’ Wizard Wheezes glass candle, perfect if you’re a fan of the occasional prank.

 

The Weasleys' Wizard Wheezes Glass Candle from Insight Editions is shown as pictured on Amazon. It has a purple and orange holder featuring the Weasleys' Wizard Wheezes logo from the films.

Buy on Amazon

 

The next item on our list is inspired by one of our favorite Slytherins, Draco Malfoy. While we can’t guarantee that he would smell like apple and sweet cedarwood (like this candle does), it adds a nice touch for anyone devoted to “Drapple.”

 

The Draco Malfoy Scented Candle from Define Design 11 is shown as pictured on Amazon.

From juice to pasties, pumpkin is a popular choice in the magical world, so why not let that extend to your candles? This candle smells like a pumpkin patch, and it is made with soy wax.

Bath and Body

Looking to unwind with a bath bomb or some lotion? That’s definitely an option! We love this bath bomb inspired by the Sorting Hat; you won’t know what color it is inside until you use it.

 

The Sorting Bath Bomb from J&M Bath Bombs is shown as pictured on Amazon.

This lotion bar is inspired by one of the most popular drinks in Hogsmeade, and it’s made with beeswax, shea butter, and coconut oil. With a delicious butterscotch scent, we can’t think of anything sweeter!

 

The Butterbrew Lotion Bar from Botanical Bars is shown as pictured on Amazon.

Blankets and More

From blankets to slippers, why not relax with something soft and cozy? This Marauder’s Map tapestry throw blanket is a must, even if you aren’t up to no good. (It’s also machine washable.)

 

The Harry Potter Woven Tapestry Throw Blanket, Marauder's Map, is shown as pictured on Amazon.

Looking for some new slippers? This pair looks cozy, and these slippers feature Harry Potter icons, including Harry’s glasses and lightning scar on the toes.

 

The Harry Potter Icons Pattern Cozy Slippers from Bioworld are shown as pictured on Amazon.

If you love to rock your Hogwarts robes, you’ll love this throw blanket with sleeves. It looks like a Gryffindor uniform, including a warm winter scarf, but it’s actually a blanket. It’s just like magic!

 

The Harry Potter Comfy Throw Blanket with Sleeves is shown as pictured on Amazon.

Activities

Love picking up activities (or even a new hobby) to relax? You’ll love this Harry Potter crochet kit! It provides everything you need to crochet some adorable amigurumi dolls of Harry and Dobby, and instructions are included for even more Harry Potter characters.

 

The "Harry Potter Crochet" Crochet Kit by Lucy Collin is shown as pictured on Amazon.

Finally, if you’re up to the challenge of putting together this massive 6,020-piece LEGO set of Hogwarts, we aren’t going to stop you. It’s intended for fans aged 16 and older, and you’re sure to stay busy with all of the details.
