Holigay Gift Guide 2014: The Muggles Still Waiting On Their Hogwarts Acceptance Letters
If you have waited until the last minute to buy a holigay gift for that special witch or wizard in your life, fear not! There is still time to order something and have it delivered to you via Owl Post in time for Santa’s big day. All you need to know is their Hogwarts house, their Quidditch position, the preferred core substance for their wand, their wand wood type, and their robe size. This is just like shopping at Diagon Alley, only without Draco Malfoy showing up to troll you. (Also, you don’t need to know any of that magical stuff. That was just a joke. Like U-No-Poo, but less funny.)
