Description
This Harry Potter Christmas stocking brings the Hogwarts Owl Post to the fireside. Its printed scene shows a pale owl perched on a ledge beneath a glowing moon, with castle towers rising behind it in shades of midnight blue. Gold lettering curves across the leg to read SENT EXPRESS BY and runs across the foot to finish HOGWARTS OWL POST, set among small gold stars. The deep cuff is near-black and scattered with gold feathers, and a gold cord loop with a full gold tassel sits at its top corner. Gold piping traces the whole outline, so the blue and gold read clearly from across a room. It measures 35.2cm at its longest and 24.8cm at its widest, and is 2.6cm deep.
Hang it from a hook on the mantelpiece, a bedpost, a door handle or the newel post at the foot of the stairs, and it becomes the first place to look on Christmas morning. The night-sky print suits a room already dressed in deep blues and golds, and it sits happily beside a tree trimmed in warm metallics. It makes a thoughtful Christmas gift in its own right, ready to be filled and handed over before the big day, then brought out again with the decorations year after year.
The scene is printed onto the front, and the gold lettering, stars and feathers give a gentle shine against the blue. The cord loop is fixed at the top, so it hangs from a single hook or peg with the tassel falling to one side. To keep it looking its best, we would brush away dust lightly and dab any marks with a barely damp cloth. Store it flat in a dry place once Christmas is over so the cuff and tassel keep their shape. Wrap the presents inside in gold ribbon and the whole thing comes together beautifully on Christmas Eve.
