Description
This Harry Potter photo frame turns a baby's first year into a little journey to Hogwarts, with a place for a picture at every milestone. A slim, rectangular gold frame holds a cream mount, with "MY FIRST YEAR AT HOGWARTS" printed in gold lettering across the top. Twelve oval windows run around it, labelled in turn from birth to 11 months, and circle a larger oval at the centre marked "MY FIRST BIRTHDAY", ringed by the words "HOGWARTS SCHOOL OF WITCHCRAFT AND WIZARDRY". The crests of Gryffindor, Slytherin, Ravenclaw and Hufflepuff sit in the four corners, with little drawings of Platform 9¾, a pair of round glasses and a wand tucked among the pastel ovals. It stands 30cm tall, 21.5cm wide and 1cm deep.
It makes a thoughtful new baby gift for a family who already know their way to Platform 9¾, and an equally lovely first birthday present once the year is complete. A fresh picture can go in each month, so the frame fills up as the little one grows, and the finished piece becomes a keepsake to treasure long after the first birthday candle is blown out. It sits happily on a nursery shelf, a chest of drawers in a child's bedroom or a sideboard in the living room, where visiting grandparents can follow the year at a glance.
On the back, a fold-out easel lets it stand on a shelf or table with no wall needed, and a small hanger near the top edge means it can go on a wall instead, whichever suits the room. The narrow gold frame keeps the look neat and lets the colourful mount take centre stage. To keep it looking its best, dust it gently with a soft dry cloth. For a gift, we like the idea of adding a newborn photograph to the birth oval before wrapping, so the parents open it with the year already begun.
