Our children have all grown up with the Harry Potter books and movies, the older ones introduced the 2 youngest to Hogwarts long before they could read. Fantastic Beasts And Where To Find Them may be a little darker than Harry Potter (and the youngest 2 might have to wait a while before I let them watch it), but J.K.Rowling's world of Wizards and Muggles is a fantastic shared interest for all of our children from 6 to 22...
The Harry Potter Hogwart's Crest Light from Paladone runs on either USB or 3 x AA battery power and has 6 LED's which shine through the slot-in crest, giving an awesome glow. The supplied USB cable is an impressive 5ft (1.5m) long.
The light is lovely and warm, and it is perfect for when you are relaxing in a bedroom. The Hogwart's Crest is still attractive in the day though, and it makes a nice addition to a corner or bedside table for any fan.

Panini have a sticker book for every occasion, and the Fantastic Beasts And Where To Find Them Panini Sticker Album is 2 sticker albums in one! Fantastic Beasts fill the first half of the book, before we have a whole new cover and a Harry Potter collection - you can have the book folded with either half showing.
I've only ever completed one Panini collection. Back To The Future. I still have it...and the sense of accomplishment. I think children will never tire of peeling the back from a sticker and trying their best to line it up perfectly with the space on the page. I think I learnt to count over 100 because of a Panini sticker book...
The Panini Fantastic Beasts/Harry Potter Sticker Collection Album has an rrp of £2.99 for the Starter Pack (Sticker Book and 31 Stickers). Sticker packs are 50p each.
Finally in our treasure box is this gorgeous Fantastic Beasts Mappa Mundi Maxi Poster from Pyramid. Available from various online shops and stores, prices vary.An absolutely stunning map of the UK, which is fascinating for any age group, and will be going on our staircase...
Have a Fantastic, not Beastly, Christmas...
So jealous. We love Harry Potter and fantastic beasts.
ReplyDeleteWe are super lucky - but the items start at under a fiver, and nothing is more than £20! :)
DeleteWe were lucky enough to win tickets to see the premier of this. I've got a feeling my 11 year old is going to start collecting things to do with the film.
ReplyDeleteWow! That's awesome! I bet it was an amazing experience. I think you may be right about the collecting :D
