Get your own flying snitch
See yourself as a seeker? How about getting your own flying snitch. Yes, it even flies! And it’s available for just £30. The snitch uses infrared sensors to tell it to fly away, so you have the chance of catching it.
There’s also a snitch on a stand and a necklace and pin with the golden snitch, just in case you fancy something a little less mobile.

For those with bigger budgets
If you have a larger budget, you can get a few bigger items. Let’s just start with the replica Firebolt. You can get the broom for £280.
Need the chess set? Well, there isn’t a life-sized version, but you can get a miniature chess set bringing the magical world to life for £299. This may be a little easier to get on a plane if you’re visiting from overseas!
