Let’s admit it, Slytherin common room is truly inspiring, imposing, and gorgeous. It is also very large and features an immensely high ceiling and impressive architectural details. The replica may not work for every space, but if you do have a good size room to work with, I would recommend getting a few big pieces while keeping the clutter away to create an impression of a large space.

Halloween is one of my favorite holidays, in no small part due to the fact that we have a wonderful witchcraft space that we can transform for the season.
This article is about creating Harry Potter Halloween décor to transform your space for the holiday celebrations while maintaining authenticity and sophistication – without breaking the bank.
Gryffindor is the favorite among Hogwarts houses, but recreating an authentic Gryffindor space is easier said than done. You can sprinkle images of Harry and the Gryffindor Crest a few times, but it won’t get the depth and the all-around look of Gryffindor.
Based on my own experience creating a Harry Potter themed space, here is my advice on which Gryffindor accessories will bring the theme to life in an authentic way.
I wanted to replicate the same feeling of old-time magic you get from the movie sets and the Wizarding World of Harry Potter in Orlando. While there is a lot of branded Harry Potter merchandise for sale at retailers, most of my decor choices were original vintage and antique finds that came with authenticity and a low price tag.
Very few of us have a castle-size budget for our desired Hogwarts-themed room. However, creating an amazing and authentic Harry Potter themed room can be cheaper than you think. The trick is to shop for used furniture and accessories.
Vintage, antique, and simply used items are perfect for this project because the decor of the movies was based on the late 1800s and early 1900s, and the traditional style of the time is not currently popular. The resale market for stuffy furnishings is soft, and you should use it to your advantage.
Creating your own Harry Potter-themed room is a lot of fun, but sometimes you get stumped looking for the perfect decorative items to infuse the magic into your space in an authentic and elevated way.

Here is the list of my favorite Harry Potter accessories, and I used most of them to decorate my own Hogwarts-themed room. The ideas came from the movies, book descriptions, and visiting the Wizarding World in Orlando.
We’ll cover everything from wall art and furniture to lighting and desctop decor – all designed to evoke the darkly glamorous Slytherin aesthetic. Between the lush interiors of the Slytherin Common Room and the dark sophistication of Grimmauld Place, the movies gave us plenty of ideas about creating dark wizard air with everyday objects. These Slytherin accessories will give your room an authentic look, with a dash of magic.
Visitors to the Wizarding World of Harry Potter in Orlando remember the iconic Defense Against the Dark Arts classroom in the Hogwarts Castle waiting queue for Harry Potter and the Forbidden Journey attraction. That’s where Ron, Harry, and Hermione appear on the balcony and talk to the visitors about getting a tour of the castle.
This classroom features multiple depictions of animals that are associated with venoms and magical uses as part of its spooky school vibe. Now, you can create your own version of these props with a DIY Harry Potter-inspired art project.
