Description
This hanging metal decoration brings the Potions Class from the Harry Potter stories to the Christmas tree as a small square plaque with neatly clipped corners. A glossy blue epoxy face sits inside a raised gold border. The gold lettering reads "Potions Class", with "The subtle science and exact art" on a scroll beneath and "O.W.L. Exams" in small capitals beside those words. Under the scroll it reads "Taught by Severus Snape" next to a gold cauldron and a row of potion bottles, with "School of Witchcraft & Wizardry" along the foot. It measures 17cm high and 7cm wide, and at just 0.3cm deep it hangs flat and neat.
Christmas is its natural season. Hang it from the tree by its navy ribbon loop, where the gold edging catches the fairy lights, or tie it to a wreath, a garland along the mantelpiece or a cupboard handle for the festive weeks. Because it is so slim, it also suits a hook or a peg board in a study or a bedroom once the tree comes down. As a Christmas gift it tucks easily into a stocking, and it is the kind of piece that comes out of the decorations box every December to a smile.
The decoration is made of metal, with the blue epoxy set into the gold-coloured front and a plain gold-coloured back, so it looks tidy from both sides as it turns on a branch. The ribbon is printed with "Harry Potter" in gold lettering and is held at the back by a small metal clip. To keep it looking its best, dust it with a soft dry cloth and, where needed, wipe the face gently with a slightly damp cloth and dry it straight away. On the tree, hang it among plain gold baubles and deep blue ribbon, and the colours carry the Potions Class look right across the branches.
