I know that there are some fantasy items that can never be replicated in the real world, simply because it is not all that easy to bend or even suspend the laws of physics unless you are a deity yourself. With the $49.99 Harry Potter Deluminator, your imagination is required in order to have it “function” accordingly. Basically, the Harry Potter Deluminator happens to be an authentic prop replica of Dumbledore’s Deluminator which was bequeathed to Ron Weasley, where the top will flip up to show off a tiny LED within, making it the most stylish small flashlight out there.

Harry Potter fans will definitely fall for it, I am sure, where the size fits perfectly into your pocket without missing a beat, while the top of the Deluminator will flip back with a simple switch in order to reveal the light captured inside. As you ought to be aware by now, this is impossible in making a room dark, other than when there is a power failure or a fuse trip in your home. Powered by a trio of LR44 button cell batteries that come included to help you get started right out of the box, non-Harry Potter fans will probably question its relatively strange design.

Etsy jewelry shop ThreeTwelveTrinkets specializes in lockets. As you’d expect the pendants can be used to hold a couple of photographs or other small items. But unlike conventional lockets most of ThreeTwelveTrinkets items have geeky images in front.

They have ones designed after comic book heroes Iron Man and Captain America…

…ones carrying icons from video games including Minecraft and The Legend of Zelda series…

…and ones for fans of the famous fantasy books A Song of Fire and Ice and Harry Potter.

The lockets sell for $18 to $21 (USD) each. Most of them have a few finishing and chain length options. Keep your browser close to your heart and visit ThreeTwelveTrinkets on Etsy to order.

Move over, fortune cookies. These sweet Harry Potter treats have a little bit of magic inside each and every one of them. They were baked by Tina of Sugar Bean Bakers for a friend’s birthday.

They’re essentially sugar cookies that are topped with heavenly marshmallow fondant. The outside can be decorated any way you choose to, but the real surprise is on the inside, as there’s an “official” Hogwarts acceptance letter inserted into each one.

These cookies would be perfect treats for Harry Potter-themed parties or when the celebrant happens to be a huge Potter fan. You can easily modify the recipe, which can be found here, for your own needs. Like treasure chest cookies with pieces of a map inside, for example. The sky’s the limit!

Now this is a marriage proposal that will resonate with Harry Potter fans. Rachel was ready to propose to her girlfriend Jaquie, so she enlisted the help of CustomMade, which some people have described as a cross between Etsy and Match.com. It’s basically a site that lets people find artisans who can turn their projects into a reality.

I think it’s safe to assume that Harry Potter played a major role in their relationship, because Rachel had her proposal fashioned after the most popular game in the wizarding world: Quidditch.

The Quidditch proposal set that Rachel commissioned included two Bludgers, one Quaffle, a bat, and of course, the Golden Snitch. All it needs is a charm spell to make everything come alive… Rachel hid the ring in the Snitch (where else?) and presented the set to Jacqui. She said “yes,” Voldemort is still dead, and all is well in the world.

If you want a custom Quidditch set of your own, then you can get one made by artist Anthony Albano for somewhere between $800 and $1,200 (USD).
