Description
This Christmas stocking brings the Hogwarts Express steaming out of a starry night, its navy blue front printed with the famous engine and picked out in shiny gold. Gold lettering spelling out Hogwarts runs across the sky above the train, and small gold stars are scattered over the body and the wide black cuff. A fine gold edging follows the outline all the way round, and a gold tassel hangs from the corner of the cuff beside a twisted gold cord. It measures 58.9cm from top to toe and 37.7cm across, with a depth of 4.7cm, so there is generous room inside for presents.
Hang it from the mantelpiece, a staircase newel post, a bedpost or a door handle on Christmas Eve, and it works just as well as a seasonal decoration right through December. The navy blue and gold sit happily beside traditional reds and greens, and look especially good with a darker scheme of navy, black and gold baubles. It is a lovely way to bring the Hogwarts Express home for the festive season, and it makes a thoughtful Christmas gift in its own right, ready to be filled and given.
The twisted gold cord at the top corner loops easily over a hook, a knob or a stocking holder, and the tassel adds a little swing and sparkle at the side. The shiny gold print catches the glow of fairy lights nearby, and a pale lining shows just inside the cuff. Between Christmases, empty it, brush away any dust gently and store it folded flat in a dry cupboard, away from damp and strong sunlight, to keep the gold looking bright. Our tip: tuck a few small wrapped treats inside and hang it up the night before for a cheerful start to Christmas morning.
