Magical Must-Haves for Wizarding World Fans
Welcome to the enchanting world of Harry Potter, where magic and fashion collide! Loungefly has captured the hearts of fans everywhere with its whimsical and charming designs that bring beloved characters and themes to life.
As Potterheads ourselves, we wanted to share with you our top 5 Loungefly Mini Backpack picks! Whether you’re heading to a theme park, a movie marathon, or heading to Platform 9 3/4 to head Back to Hogwarts, a loungefly is a must!
5. Hogwarts Constellation Glow in the Dark
Who wouldnt want to see magic in the stars? This design has made our favourites list with its stunning celestial design that showcases the iconic Hogwarts castle and constellations, all of which beautifully glow in the dark for a mesmerising effect. The unique style of Hogwarts outlined as if in the stars and the House mascots as constellations, combined with the lovely shade of turquoise is so different to any Harry Potter design we have seen, that it stands out to us. And it even glows in the dark for that extra magical moment!
Good news for this Exclusive! We will be restocking this in the next few weeks so if you haven't added it to your collection, keep and eye out as this will be the one and only restock!
4. Gringotts Bank and Dragon
Gringott Bank is the most striking building in Diagon Alley and in our opinon, always deserved a stand alone design. This design captures the enchanting essence of Gringotts, the goblin-run bank famous for its intricate marble architecture and dynamic atmosphere, complemented by the striking image of the dragon that adds an element of thrill.
The design isn't over complicated, nor just a copy of a scene from the film printed onto the bag. Each element has been chosen to ensure that it is true to Gringotts. For example the pocket placement - it is part of the design rather than stand out and doesn't detract from the fact it is a building. Adding the dragon to the design immediately conjurs the exact scene to any Potter fans mind.
Overall, the Loungefly Gringotts Bank and Dragon design is a perfect blend of art, craftsmanship, and fandom, making it a cherished piece for anyone who loves the magical realms of Hogwarts.
3. Hogwarts Houses Tattoo
Technically they are one design just different houses 😂 Until recently the only loungefly designs to represent the houses were the crossbodys released last year and the Quidditch designs - originally Ron Wealsey/Gryffindor and Draco Malfoy/Slytherin and then our Exclusives Cho Chang/Ravenclaw and Cedric Diggory/Hufflepuff. We were excited to help collectors complete the Quidditch sets but as they had player names on, there were some collectors who still felt there was something missing.
Not any more! Each Hogwarts House takes centre stage with each House symbol centre among coordinating coloured flowers with banners proudly bearing the House traits. The front pocket is larger than we usually prefer but to have them smaller would alter the design and wouldn't have the strong impact that they have. What we really like is how the colour palette for each one is a handful of shades of one colour which has an overall complimentary appearance.
For us, it is the simplicity of these that makes these the perfect designs to represent the Hogwarts Houses. These are a need for any Harry Potter fan whether you're going to the Studios, your local Comic Con or just to meet your friends you need your House - or all four 😂
2. Niffler Plush Cosplay
Ok, ok we know Niffler is technically from Fantastic Beasts, not the Harry Potter franchise but its the same universe! And how can we resist him? Look at his little face and how mischievous he looks! The great thing about this is how Niffler looks just like a plush, completely like the character and just happens to be a bag as well - the perfect cosplay design!
Even his little feet are cute! Niffler is defintely our spirit animal with his love of collections and attraction to shiny things 😂
His fur is fluffy and soft, we could cuddle him all day almost like a teddy! You're sure to get lots of attention as this is one backpack that stands out as a conversation starter among fellow fans.
Missed out on the original? We've got you! We have managed to secure Niffler restocks due in October!
1. Ollivanders Wands
If there is one design that blew us away when we saw it, it was this one. For us, it is the best Harry Potter design to date, it is simply stunning. All over the bag is the different wands of key characters like Snape, Harry, Voldermort and Dumbledore - each wand displays the name of the character underneath. Other key characters are also represented like Luna, Neville, McGonagall and Bellatrix and are just as popular with Potterheads.
The zipper charm is a nod to Ollivander 'The wand chooses the wizard' and inside the lining (just as important as the external design) tests our spell knowledge with different spells and the movement of the wand to cast them! Get your wand out and try them 🪄
The details of the wands spread across the front pocket is so intricate, no detail is missed and have a water colour effect. They appear slightly raised from the pocket and it almost looks like they are in a stand not on a bag. There could not be a better Harry Potter design to raise a wand to the characters that have touched so many of our lives.
The wand chooses the wizard and this design choose us - we HAD to have it as our first Harry Potter Exclusive - we even showcased it at our launch last year!
Thats our Top 5 Wizarding World Designs - would you agree with any of them?
We would to hear from you what your favourite Potter designs are!
