Harry Potter Patronus Pennant Light-Up Decoration - Black & Gold

Our black and gold Patronus pennant is a light-up decoration that glows in the dark, made for anyone who knows the charm from the Harry Potter stories by heart. The words Expecto Patronum run across the centre in large capitals, divided by a slender wand, and four white Patronus animals gather around them: a leaping hare, a swan with its wings spread wide, an otter at one side and a horse at full gallop beneath. Swirling gold scrollwork and small white stars fill the black ground, and the front has a shiny finish that catches the light.

It hangs from a twisted gold cord, so it suits a bedroom wall, a reading corner, a study or the back of a door in any dry room indoors. When the lights go off it glows in the dark. That makes it a fun piece for a child's bedroom or a teenager's den, where it belongs on the wall as decoration and not as a toy. We think it makes a thoughtful gift for a friend, a brother or sister, or a member of the wider family who has read the books more than once, and it sits happily beside a shelf of well-thumbed copies.

The pennant narrows to a point at the bottom, finished with a black tassel, and the cord loops easily over a hook, a nail or a door knob. To keep the shiny finish looking its best, dust it now and then with a soft dry cloth and keep it away from steam and damp. Hang it at eye level so all four animals can be seen properly, or group it with framed prints and other pennants for a themed wall. As a gift it is ready to hang the moment it is unwrapped.

What is printed on this pennant?

The words Expecto Patronum sit at the centre in large capitals. A white hare, swan, otter and horse surround them, set among gold scrollwork and small white stars on a black ground.

How does the decoration hang?

A twisted gold cord runs from the two top corners, so it loops over a hook, a nail or a door knob, and a black tassel hangs from the pointed tip.

Does it glow in the dark?

Yes, it is a light-up decoration that glows in the dark, which makes it a fun choice for a bedroom wall once the lights are off.

Which rooms suit it?

It is for dry rooms indoors, so a bedroom, a study, a reading corner or a landing suits it well, away from steam and damp.

Who would it make a good gift for?

We think it suits friends, brothers and sisters and the wider family. It works for children aged 3 to 12, for teenagers and for older readers, as a piece for their room rather than a toy.

How should I look after it?

Dust it now and then with a soft dry cloth to keep the shiny finish looking its best, and keep it away from damp and steam.
