Replica Wand
-
The wizards in the Harry Potter universe each have their own unique wand with which to use to cast spells. A replica wand is a unique gift for a Harry Potter fan and there are many wands to choose from. The most popular choices include Harry, Hermoione, Ron and Dumbledore's wands, but if the recipient is more of a Slytherin, there's also wands for Malfoy, Greyback and Voldemort too. Replica wands are intended for display, not play, so consider toy wands that light up and make noise for younger Harry Potter fans.
Wizard Candy

You can find the same candy that Harry and his friends eat in the wizarding world in stores in the Muggle world as well and makes for a magical addition to a gift basket. Bernie Botts Every Flavor Beans are jellybeans that come in a multitude of flavors including common tastes like grape and green apple and wild tastes like mashed potatoes, ear wax and even vomit. The Chocolate Frogs at your local store won't move around with magic, but they do come with wizard trading cards like in the book.
