1. A Wand from Ollivander’s Shop
There is a saying in the Wizarding World, “The Wand Chooses the Wizard.”
One of the core things that make the Harry Potter tales and ultimately, one of the pieces that brings down Voldemort, is a wand.
From the very beginning, a big moment in Sorcerer’s Stone is when Harry’s wand chooses him, which we later find out is a core twin to Voldemort’s.
Why We Love This Harry Potter Gift for Fans
There are a wide variety of wands to choose from including original wands and wands from some of your favorite characters from the Wizarding World.
I personally own an original wand as well as Seraphina’s and Professor Trelawney’s. All the designs are unique and gorgeously crafted.
The best part is when you visit Universal, they interact with the props in The Wizarding World of Harry Potter, allowing you to cast spells at various locations. Making it one of the best Harry Potter souvenirs!
While you can buy these for your loved ones, specific ones can be bought online as well.
However, it’s even more particularly special when your wand chooses you during the Ollivander Wand experience.
Price for This Harry Potter Souvenir
However, I won’t give too much away since its worth seeing in person.
As far as cost, you are looking at spending $60 plus tax or $75 plus tax if you are planning to purchase a Special Edition Wand.

3. Postcards
You can never go wrong with something as simple as a postcard. But not many people can say they were sent one from the Wizarding World.
Thankfully, you are unable to send someone in the muggle world a howler.
Why We Love This Harry Potter Souvenir for Fans

4. Time Turner Necklace
In the Wizarding World, you can find plenty of collectibles and memorabilia from the Harry Potter films.
One of the most iconic pieces can be bought is Hermione’s Time Turner.
- Officially authorized by Warner Brothers.
- Plated in 24 karat gold, measures 1 3/8 inches in diameter.
- Chain measures 18 inches.

If can remember, Hermione used the time turner throughout the “Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban.”
At one point, the Ministry of Magic had these cool time turners to help with time management. They had some strict rules and procedures for using them.
Also in the books, Hermione got the go-ahead to use a Time-Turner, which she used to sign up for extra classes.This allowed her to broaden her education at Hogwarts.
Why We Love This Harry Potter Souvenir for Fans
The entire stock of these Time Turners, which were located in the Department of Mysteries, were destroyed about three years after Hermione used her own during a scuffle.
The Time Turner ended up playing a vital role in Prisoner of Azkaban and you can own one yourself, as a bit of magic has been concocted so you can bring one home.
- Officially authorized by Warner Brothers.
- Plated in 24 karat gold, measures 1 3/8 inches in diameter.
- Chain measures 18 inches.

Price for This Harry Potter Gift
As a collectible, its cost is around $50 due to its intricate, antique gold styling. It can be bought here on Amazon.
5. Sweet Treats from Honeydukes
One of my personal favorite places to visit while I’m visiting Hogsmeade is Honeydukes.
Honeydukes, in the Wizarding World, is a majorly popular sweet shop with shelves filled to the brim the most drool inducing candies to ever grace a mouth.
On top of selling such delectable sweets, that the store was shoulder to shoulder during the holidays, the owners handmade their own fudge and chocolates.

Why We Love These Harry Potter Souvenirs for Fans
As you enter the pink and light green pinstriped store, you truly get to experience the shelves of delicious wizarding world candies like:
- Fudge Flies
- Butterbeer Fudge
- Chocolate Frogs with Trading cards
- Dark Chocolate Peppermint frogs
- Cauldron Cake and more!
On top of this, you can try one of the owner’s famous homemade fudges. These candies and sweets are not to be missed and are perfect treats to give as gifts!
6. Magical Cups and Drinks
Whether it’s the Triwizard cup or a teacup, you can never go wrong with giving one as a gift. Mainly because one will always need one at some point!
- Do you know Hogwarts as well as Moony, Wormtail, Padfoot and Prongs do? If you solemnly swear you are up to no good, then this 16 oz color changing mug is for you!
- At room temperature, this mug appears to only have the Marauder’s famous phrase and footprints. Add hot liquid to reveal their charmed map of Hogwarts! Mischief managed.
- We didn’t use the Doubling Charm on this product! Images are to show the mug’s design from left to right. This listing is for one (1) ceramic mug.
- To preserve the mystical abilities of this mug, we recommend hand wash only. Not microwave safe.
- Trend Setters Ltd. creates a variety of officially licensed products from your favorite fandoms as well as hundreds of original designs.
The great part is that there is a plethora of designs to choose from to fit whatever you want for the person you are trying to give it to.
Why We Love These Harry Potter Souvenirs for Fans
It can be house based, creature based or even shop based. I personally have a latte mug from Honeydukes that is perfect for sipping tea from.
Another gift you could consider is specialty beverages that can only be found inside the Wizarding World of Harry Potter.
This includes Gillywater which you can mix in various potions or Pumpkin Juice.
Sadly, they do not bottle butterbeer, but you can always remedy that by bringing home Butterbeer fudge from Honeydukes or checking out our recipe here.

7. Gringotts Cash
The E-ticket attraction, or big draw of Diagon Alley is “Harry Potter and Escape from Gringotts.”
You can find a long line here due to the immersive and detailed queue, along with several stops due to pre-shows. Nonetheless, the attraction is worth trying.
And you can catch many guests standing outside of it, waiting for the great Dragon to breathe its fiery breath. But let’s leave the details of the ride for another time.
Why We Love This Harry Potter Gift for Fans
Many guests wander right by the Gringotts Money Exchange in Diagon Alley that’s right next door.
It is a small venue where guests can exchange $10 or $20 American denominations for Gringotts bank notes.
How does the Gringotts Cash work in The Wizarding World of Harry Potter at Universal?
These bank notes can be used at some Wizarding World locations and some locations in Islands of Adventure and Universal Studios to buy food or merchandise.
Just a heads up, you do not have to exchange money here. However if you do, you can use it for Harry Potter mementos, presents, or shopping.
Here you can interact with the goblin overseer who will assist with your exchange and answer any questions you may have.
Harry Potter World Souvenirs in Gringotts Money Exchange
While there is not a lot to buy inside the venue, as it’s a money exchange, there are a few items you can grab.
- Intricately detailed and painted.
- Removable cover and creature.
- Display case measures approximately 7 inches x 4.25 inches.
- Officially authorized by Warner Brothers.
- Part of the Harry Potter Magical Creatures series – Collect them all!
And if you end up not using all of your bank notes, they can be exchanged back to American denominations at guest services.
The do however make a great gift that can only be found from the Wizarding World and can be used by the receiver during their own visit.

8. Hogwarts House Merchandise
As you travel through Diagon Alley and Hogsmeade, even outside of the Wizarding world and into the regular areas of the park, you will see one of two things.
You will see many guests wearing robs, which I commend them on their commitment to wearing in Florida heat and humidity, or they are wearing something that shows off their Hogwarts house pride.
For those who are not familiar with how Hogwarts works, first year students are sorted into one of four houses, and they are:
- Gryffindor
- Slytherin
- Ravenclaw
- Hufflepuff
Once sorted, that house will be your family and your home. Visitors are big fans of house pride when it comes to the Wizarding World.
Why We Love These Harry Potter Souvenirs for Fans
There are hats, scarves, cardigans, robes, shirts, tanks, pins, sweatpants and so much more!
If you want to keep it simple or be extra, there is a clothing item for you to buy for someone to rep their house in the muggle world.

9. A Fantastic Beast
If you mosey on over to Diagon Alley, you can enter the Magical Menagerie and bring a fantastic beast home with you and for your friend!
The Magical Menagerie is a pet shop of sorts for the magic folks and its slightly chaotic (but fun).
You simply cannot miss this shop as it features brightly colored creatures that move and make noise to entice visitors to come in and shop for pets.
- Officially authorized by Warner Brothers.
- Manufactured by The Noble Collection.
- From The Harry Potter Movie Franchise.

The following textbooks are on the Harry Potter journal covers:

My Final Thoughts on the Best Souvenirs from Harry Potter World at Universal
Visiting the Wizarding World, as you can see is evident from all the amazing shop and merchandise descriptions, is truly an unforgettable experience.

It is a memento of thoughtfulness and love for someone you care for.

All of this done in the hopes of one day bringing them back to the Wizarding World upon your return.
