My kids and I are huge Harry Potter Fans. I read the series with my daughter and now my son and I are halfway through the final book. Whenever we finish a book, we watch the movie and have a Harry Potter Movie night with things like Mad Eye Moody Meatballs or Butterbeer Milkshakes. The kids love it and it's so much fun!
We also collect some of the wands. We made this DIY Harry Potter Wand holder out of wood to display their wands on in their rooms.
DIY Harry Potter Wand Holder
My kids love displaying their wands from Wizarding World at Universal Studios as well as Mystery Wands and Dark Arts Mystery Wands.
Supplies:
18 inch x 2.5 inch wooden boards, one for each wand
L shaped screw hooks, about 1.5 inches in size
ceiling hooks, about 1 inch
Small screw eyes, about 3/4 inch
Directions:
Make sure all your wooden pieces are smooth. Sand any rough spots down with your sandpaper.
Then, we added a pretty wood stain on all our pieces. Once that was dry we painted the word "wands" on the large wooden plaque. You can also personalize it with the person's name.
3. Use the L hooks and create "ledges" for your wands to sit on. These are nice because wands are different sizes so some need to be further out from the wood if the handles are thicker. I used 2 L hooks to hold up each wand and adjusted it to fit each wand handle.
4. Using the ceiling hooks and small screw eyes, you can link together the wand-holding pieces to hang down below each other.
5. Add sawtooth picture hanging brackets to the back of your wand holder and you're ready to display your wands.
