Whether you're shopping for a Valentine's Day present or just want to surprise a Potterhead, I've curated some of the best gift ideas across different categories.

Harry Potter: 8-Film Collection
11Includes both 4K Ultra HD and Blu-ray movies. See it at Amazon
For fans of the Harry Potter films, my top recommendation is the complete 8-film collection in 4K UHD and Blu-ray. This set offers all eight movies in stunning quality, perfect for both avid collectors and casual viewers. Though the films are available on streaming platforms like Max, owning physical copies has its charm. Additionally, the three-film collection of the Fantastic Beasts series is a great complement. Below, you'll find more movie-related gifts, including a replica of the Elder Wand.

Hogwarts Legacy
10Also available for PlayStation, Xbox, and PC. See it at Best Buy
The Harry Potter gaming universe is vast, but for the ultimate gaming experience in 2024, Hogwarts Legacy stands out. Set centuries before Harry's time, it allows you to explore Hogwarts and its surroundings freely. I found the game's immersive world and freedom of exploration particularly engaging, and IGN praised it for its expansive environment. Beyond Hogwarts Legacy, consider the remastered LEGO Harry Potter video games or family-friendly board games like Wizard Chess and Harry Potter Trivial Pursuit.
