30 “Harry Potter” Journal Prompts

As avid believers in the power of journaling for self-care, we often find ourselves searching Pinterest for a fun journal prompt. There are times when we are just not sure what to write, so we turn to a journal prompt for structure and content. This works until the journal prompts all start to look alike. Many prompts have a few words changed, but essentially, the outcome is the same. This got us thinking about what journal prompts we would like to use, so we have crafted 30 Harry Potter journal prompts for a new and magical twist on journaling.
