What you need to know

Beginner knitters will adore bringing this wizard to life — expecto cuteness!

Over the next 12 months, we'll be releasing a comfort doll every single month! First to apparate onto the scene is our spellbinding school wizard, arriving just in time for International Harry Potter Day on 2nd May. Perfect for beginners and stitched with DK yarn, this little magic-maker features embroidered round specs, a flowing cloak, and a lightning-shaped mark. Even better, this doll comes with a detachable stripy scarf — simply switch up the colours to pledge loyalty to your favourite house.
