Harry Potter Hogwarts Express Jar Light-Up Decoration - Silver

Our Hogwarts Express light-up decoration is a frosted jar that glows from within, lit through a sparkling silver lining that catches the light from every angle. On the front sits a printed illustration of the famous train from the Harry Potter stories, drawn head on in black and red, with 5972 on its number plate and the words Hogwarts Express unfurled across a golden banner beneath. Turn it round and the reverse carries a travelling trunk under a scatter of gold stars. It stands 17cm tall and 8cm across, a neat size for even a narrow shelf.

Set it on a bookcase, a mantelpiece or a bedside table, where its warm glow brings a little magic to a quiet corner as the evening draws in. It suits a bedroom, a study or a landing shelf among favourite books, and it looks just as good by day, when the frosted finish and silver sparkle hold their own with the light off. Because it stands on its own flat base, it needs no wall, no hook and no fixings, so it can sit on any flat, steady surface you choose.

The top is closed with a stopper, and a red ribbon is tied in a bow around the neck, carrying a small ticket-style tag that adds a lovely storybook touch. Both illustrations are printed onto the jar itself, so keep cleaning gentle: dust with a soft dry cloth, or wipe lightly with a barely damp one, and avoid rubbing hard across the printed designs. We think it makes a charming gift, and it looks especially at home beside a stack of well-loved paperbacks in a cosy reading corner.
