Gift Ideas For the Harry Potter Fan

No matter what the occasion, it is sometimes difficult finding the right gift for someone. With the release of Harry Potter and The Deathly Hallows, Part Two on DVD and BluRay, there is much excitement. For the Harry Potter enthusiast giving them a gift that is Potter related will be appreciated. With holidays, birthdays and other celebrations there is always a need for gift ideas. Movies generate merchandise that is desirable by many. So! Here is what I hope will be a great list of gifts or at least give you some ideas to help make shopping easier.

Series of Books 1-7

1. Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone
2. Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets
3. Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban
4. Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire
5. Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix
6. Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince
7. Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows

For die-hard Harry Potter fans the end of an era is finally over with the recent release of The Deathly Hallows, Part 2 DVD. For many the books are what we knew first but the dread of the end came with the release of the last DVD with part 2 of The Deathly Hallows. The is a fun site called, Pottermore that many fans are involved with since it carries on the legacy. With the last book it was like saying goodbye to an old friend and the only thing one can do is read the series over again. As we all know that is not the same as reading it for the first time. If you do re-read I will tell you there will be things you have forgotten or things you completely missed. Movies can do the same thing with little things you notice the second or third time watching which is fun in of itself.

If you did not see the last movie, now is your chance to own it. Enjoy!

Harry Potter DVD's Full Collection covering books 1 - 7, Wide-screen edition. This box set contains all 8 movies and that includes parts one and two of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows.

Even DVD's can get worn out from use and can get scratches that can make it very hard to watch a whole movie.

If you are on a tight budget check out my Hub on Gift Ideas for Under $50. If you are being very generous with your gift giving, how about a hybrid vehicle. If you know someone that is or will be riding a motorcycle the best gift they can receive is a quality helmet. Hope this helps you on your way to a stress free gift search.

If you are looking for t-shirts or hoodies to give as a gift they can be hard to come by during the holidays. Especially clothing from Hot Topic which seems to be a favorite for those that like either popular books or movies. Many items can be found online which is nice during the shopping rush of Christmas.
