Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry is a boarding school for magical children and the place that Harry Potter called home for years.
Young witches and wizards are accepted into Hogwarts from the age of 11, and each first year is sorted into one of four houses.
The first is Slytherin, where the most ambitious, cunning, and resourceful are placed. Another is Hufflepuff, the house of the most patient, loyal, and hard-working of students. Ravenclaw is for those with intelligence, knowledge, and wit.
And last but not least is Gryffindor, for the brave and determined.
Gryffindor is the most popular of the four Hogwarts houses among fans of the wizarding world, as it is the house that Harry Potter himself was sorted into on his first day at Hogwarts.
Harry’s two best friends were also placed in Gryffindor, and over the years the trio lived up to the traits associated with their house, proving their courage and determination time and time again.
Harry Potter himself fought the dark wizard Voldemort at least once in every book, never knowing if he would win. That definitely took courage, because that old wizard was hell-bent on murder where Harry Potter was concerned.
Therefore, finding gifts for a Gryffindor is not too difficult, as they are everywhere! But finding a truly magic gift for a Gryffindor? Well, that’s not so easy, but we have a trick or two up our sleeves here. So let us help you with these gifts for kids and adults, complete with links so you can have a good look for yourself.
For the Gryffindor Who Likes a Cuddle
Even the bravest witch or wizard needs something to snuggle up to sometimes. And there is nothing more snuggly and soft than a Squishmallow.
Kids will adore this cute Gryffindor Squishmallow from Amazon, a perfect gift for a Harry Potter fan who just loves a cuddle. Squishmallows also sells a Harry Potter and a Ron Weasley huggable toy, but we think this daring Gryffindor lion with his little red and gold scarf is just too cute to pass up.
Harry Potter Wand That Shoots Fire!
Wands make wonderful gifts for fans of the wizarding world of Harry Potter. The chosen one, Harry Potter is the most famous Gryffindor student to ever come out of Hogwarts, known throughout the wizarding universe for defeating the evil dark wizard, Lord Voldemort. Harry’s holly and phoenix feather wand was an essential tool in his defeat of Voldemort, and if you know a Gryffindor who needs to fight some dark wizards, this fire-shooting Harry Potter wand is the most perfect gift you could give them.

For the Gryffindor Bookworm
A Harry Potter fan is probably going to be a fan of the books as well as the movies. This tasteful Gryffindor bookmark from The Noble Collection is an ideal gift for a Gryffindor bookworm. These bookmarks are officially licensed products and come presented in a nice little Gryffindor box. Bookmarks make perfect gifts for readers, as we are constantly looking for something to mark our places in books (only the most evil of Death Eaters fold the pages to mark their place).
Harry Potter Books
Staying with the book theme, but just upping the price a bit, here are some fabulous Gryffindor House editions of the Harry Potter book series. The box set linked below is the most expensive of the sets, as it is a collection of hardback books, but the same Harry Potter collection also comes in paperback for around half the price.
Books make perfect gifts, they are something that people keep for life, and popular books like these are somewhat of an investment, and will only gain value over time if kept in good condition. So an extremely thoughtful gift all round really!
These Gryffindor Harry Potter editions feature beautiful house-themed artwork with elegant gold foiling, stunning illustrations, and lots of extras including articles, quizzes, and exclusive Gryffindor and Harry Potter trivia.
As well as these wonderful box sets, the Gryffindor editions of each Harry Potter book can be bought separately, so you can gift your favorite Gryffindor their one favorite book instead. Not an everyday gift but certainly something to think about if there is a special date coming up.

Hermione Granger Wand That Shoots Fire

Gryffindor Common Room Lego Set
Lego has some truly amazing Harry Potter sets for kids and adults, including Dobby with that big creamy pudding that he splattered all over the Dursley’s kitchen floor in Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets.
You can also build the sorting hat (that actually talks), Gringotts Wizarding Bank, Weasley’s Wizarding Wheezes, and even Hogwarts Castle. Harry Potter fans would be delighted with any of these, but Gryffindors will especially love this Gryffindor House Banner Lego set.
This is a retired product so it is not available from the Lego website, but you can buy it in stores and on Amazon. With 285 pieces, this Lego set is for ages 9 and upwards and features the Gryffindor crest on a banner that can be displayed on a wall to show off your house pride.
It opens up (without having to give a password to the fat lady) to reveal a mini Gryffindor common room complete with a cozy fireplace and chairs, a couple of popular Gryffindor students (including Harry Potter), a little wizard’s chess game, and some candles. It also has cool magical effects, like Sirius Black appearing in the fireplace to have a chat with Harry!

It’s a serious gift for the serious Gryffindor who likes to show off their house pride. Measuring 9 inches tall, this die-cast Gryffindor lion replica from The Noble Collection has Warner Bros' seal of approval.
This is officially licensed collectible merchandise, and the sword itself is intricately detailed and engraved. A definite conversation starter, when placed on a desk at work or at home, and a sneaky sign for any other Harry Potter fans in the area. This letter opener is sure to attract a comment or two even if people don’t know exactly what it is.

Dumbledore Wand That Shoots Fire
Albus Dumbledore is one of the most famous Gryffindors to have ever walked the halls of Hogwarts, besides Harry Potter of course. Dumbledore attended school here as a Gryffindor student and was both a prefect and Head Boy in his time at the school.
After his years as a student, he took the job of Hogwarts Professor, teaching Defence Against the Dark Arts classes, then Transfiguration, before he finally became Headmaster. He was still the Headmaster of Hogwarts when Harry Potter became a student. His wand is the ultimate Gryffindor gift, and this fire-shooting one is pretty cool!

Ramen Bowl
Because who doesn’t love noodles? We’re sure Harry Potter enjoyed a delicious noodle snack from time to time, and Ron Weasley definitely seems like he would love a bowl of Ramen! This ceramic Gryffindor Ramen Bowl comes with plastic chopsticks and a fabric Marauders Map napkin.
It makes an ideal gift for Harry Potter fans young and old. It is microwave and dishwasher safe, and decorated in the Gryffindor colors and crest. The chopsticks are printed with the Hogwarts crest. The perfect ramen bowl for a feast of noodles in the great hall.

The inside has a zipper pocket for any loose Knuts, Galleons, and Sickles, eight card slots, and plenty of room for paper money, if you’re a muggle.
The matching handbag is very cute, with two compartments inside as well as a zip pocket. It has sturdy handles as well as a shoulder strap so you can wear it either way.
It comes with a beautiful metal Gryffindor charm attached to the handle, and it is spacious enough to pack in all your magical lotions and potions. And of course, your wand will fit nicely in here too. We think Harry Potter would buy these cool Gryffindor accessories as a nice gift for Ginny.
