Best Harry Potter gifts under $25

Anything from the trolley, dears? These Harry Potter-themed Hershey's bars are a watch party staple. They feature fun wizarding designs both on the wrappers and etched into the chocolate itself.

I've recently made the switch to satin pillowcases because they can be better for your skin and hair, but Harry Potter satin pillowcases are just that much more magical. Kitsch has several themed patterns to choose from, as well as options for both standard/queen- and king-sized pillows. 

The bakers in your life will appreciate this guide on how to make everything from Pumpkin Patch Pies to Owl Muffins.

These cards have cool and intricate illustrations of characters, including Harry, Hermione, Draco Malfoy, Dumbledore and Voldemort. You can choose a deck to match each Hogwarts house: red for Gryffindor, green for Slytherin, blue for Ravenclaw or yellow for Hufflepuff.

Coloring books can provide a fun and relaxing activity for people of all ages. This one features more than 80 illustrations of moments throughout the series, from Harry's first Quidditch match to The Battle of Hogwarts.

Here's another fun game option, but with a tech twist. Use Harry's wand to draw clues in the air, which other players can view via the Pictionary Air app on their devices.

If you're craving the delicious Butterbeer from Universal Studios or Harry Potter New York -- but are nowhere near either of those locations or don't feel like making your own -- this is a pretty good replacement. It's a bit on the sweeter side, but has that same creamy butterscotch flavor (and is also non-alcoholic, so it's suitable for Potterheads of all ages).

If you're looking for a sweet (and cute) treat, this Honeydukes tin with gummies is a great fit. The treats come in five shapes: Hedwig, the Deathly Hallows, a potion bottle, lightning bolt and Sorting Hat, making for magical snacking. And the tin doubles as a fun keepsake, even when the goodies are gone.

Home decor is one element of Potter-fying your space and filling the air with themed scents is another. This Harry Potter Collection from Homesick -- which is currently sold at Barnes & Noble -- includes several fragrance options, including one for each house. Each has a unique scent, depending on what you're into. My personal favorite is Gryffindor's, which has a nice warm cinnamon aroma.

Another must-have for bakers: cookie cutters shaped like everything from Harry’s glasses to the Sorting Hat -- and even the Hogwarts Express.These decorative treats will elevate any party spread and are perfect for a Harry Potter-themed get-together.

I understand this is intended for any child who is a Harry Potter fan, but I would not be opposed to owning this myself. This Hedwig toy features more than 15 sounds and movements to (kind of) bring this beloved companion to life.

This chess set will let you relive the Wizard's Chess scene in Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone -- just without the deadly battles. It's a gift that's truly perfect for those in the Harry Potter Fan Club.

No wizard's collection is complete without a wand. This option lights up, which makes up -- at least in part -- for the harsh reality that there's little else a wand can do in the Muggle world. Unless we summon our imaginations...

Another gift option for the scent-obsessed: these Harry Potter house-themed bar soaps from Dr. Squatch. Each one takes on colors and characteristics from its respective house. For example, Gryffindor's red soap has a warm, spicy scent, inspired by the common room fire.

This one's for the jewelry fans and for those who reminisce on how Hermione bested Hogwarts students by attending many classes at the same time. This Time Turner Spinner Necklace features a charm with a crystal hourglass and the inscription, "I mark the hours, every one, nor have I yet outrun the sun."

I'd argue that the best merch is useful merch -- and Harry Potter fans will love this item. This Golden Snitch clock is something your gift recipient will likely use every day and is also an eye-catching addition to any display or bedside table. 

This bag features an array of fun images, from the Sorting Hat to a Golden Snitch to Hedwig's cage. 

I'm adding another clock to this list because I recently got this one and I'm obsessed. This is not only an elegant timepiece, but it also has an hourglass on the back that makes it infinitely cooler.

Lego and Harry Potter fans will love putting together this 654-piece Hogwarts castle. They’ll also build other set pieces, including the restricted section of the Hogwarts library and Dumbledore's office. Six Harry Potter minifigures come with the kit too, including Harry Potter and Severus Snape. One thing’s for sure: Piecing this together -- and admiring it afterwards -- will be fun for all ages.

Train sets are cool. Hogwarts Express train sets are cooler. This 37-piece set is battery-powered and remote-controlled -- and even features sound clips from some Harry Potter characters.

Here's a beautiful staple your Harry Potter giftee can add to their bookshelf. This is definitely a bit of a splurge, especially given the fact that it only includes the first three books in the series, but this illustrated collection can serve as a treasured keepsake and collector's item. It includes the Philosopher's Stone, Chamber of Secrets and Prisoner of Azkaban.

For the Harry Potter fans and Lego fans, there's perhaps no better option than a Lego set like this to recreate pieces of the wizarding world.

Give your giftee a piece of The Goblet of Fire with this golden egg lamp. They won't even need to fight a dragon for it. After all, why have an ordinary light source when you can bring a magical golden glow into a room?

This is a great option for craft lovers. The Wizarding World Woobles Bundle will walk you through each step of crocheting iconic characters -- like Harry Potter, Dumbledore and Voldemort -- as well as their companions, Hedwig, Fawkes and Nagini. The instructions are easy to follow and the kit comes with all the materials you need, including custom crochet hooks. You can also buy the individual characters if you don't want the bundle (which is admittedly pricey).
