Some More Harry Potter......Well....You Can't Have Too Much.....Can You ?

My obsession with creating Harry Potter keepsake boxes shows no sign of wearing off.....so I present you 
my latest piece...

 


It is stained and varnished to give it a wonderful aged antique look and feel.
The top of the box has many items associated with Harry, all of which were made by myself.

These include:

A miniature replica of Harry's Wand complete with stand, A wax seal from Hogwarts, A miniature replica of the Sorcerer's Stone (Philosopher's Stone in the UK), A miniature replica of Albus Dumbledore's biography written by Rita Skeeter, and two 'potion' bottles from Dumbledore's secret collection...one containing Troll Finger Bones and the other containing Mermaid Scales, both with labels created by myself.


The bottles, wand, stone, book and seal are not attached to the box - this is to reduce shipping costs. They will be packed inside the box and full instructions will be included on how to attach (it's really easy by the way !!)

It is decorated on the top and sides with various Harry Potter labels and knick knacks including Harry's Hogwarts Invitation Letter and Envelope, Hogwarts Express Ticket, Pumpkin Juice Label, Honeydukes Label, Platform 9 3/4 Sign, a Ministry of Magic Logo and a Daily Prophet Logo.



Dimensions: (All sizes are approx)

Width: 6 inches

Height: 2.5 inches without replicas
4.5 inches with replicas

Depth: 4 inches
