But whether you’re looking for more low-key options to celebrate Harry Potter or just a fun, bookish DIY project, we’ve got you covered with this list of our favorite DIYs for bookworms and book dragons.

1. Mini Book Charms

These book charms are super cute and surprisingly easy to make. After just 20-30 minutes of crafting plus time in the oven, you’ll become the proud owner of some adorable charms. You could use them to make a cool necklace, charm bracelet, or key ring. Or why not string them up with some fairy lights and make your own Harry Potter-themed garlands? The creative options are endless, so go wild with your book covers – whether it’s House-themed editions of the books or wizarding world tomes like Advanced Potion-Making or The Monster Book of Monsters. However, we had better not see any copies of Magical Me floating around!

2. Potter Bookmarks

This is a must for any Harry Potter fan. These bookmarks are super simple – yet creative – and provide a handy way to save those precious books from being dog-eared.
