13 Harry Potter Christmas Cards You Need This Year

by Buffy Flores

The Christmas card is gigantic and so full of cliché and bland sentiments. This holiday will be the first in what may be a painful few years of shameless, out-in-the-open U.S. oppression of its marginalized citizens — though, arguably its always been shameless and out-in-the-open. Throughout the painful past few weeks, Harry Potter has been one among many sources of solace and comfort for grieving, fearful, and lost people. That being the case, why not give your friends and family members Harry Potter Christmas cards this holiday season to remind them about the many powerful, honest, and liberating messages the series has given to readers and viewers alike?

The cards on this list are perfect for new and longtime fans of the series. You don't have to be a Potter expert to enjoy any of these... except maybe a few. Regardless, though, they're all designed beautifully and sure beat the standard cards that most people throw away anyways. You don't want your card to be on those cards that end up in the garbage, so do something different, do something Harry Potter.

To clarify, this post features Christmas cards only due to availability on Etsy, and not because we don't celebrate other holidays like Hanukkah and Kwanzaa. Regardless, of this list, we hope everyone has a great holiday season!
