We definitely know who would love this corner of the shop the most… Hermione Granger! 📚✨ She’d absolutely adore the collection of magical artefacts to explore and study.

If you could own any replica from the Harry Potter series, what would it be?

P.S. As the Slytherin writing this post, I’d have to choose Professor Slughorn’s House Point hourglass. 🐍👀

Whether on the Quidditch pitch or in the Battle of Hogwarts, Ginny proved time and again that she is perhaps the most fierce of all the Weasley children!
