Set the Scene: A Festive Hogwarts Atmosphere
Start by transforming your dining space into a replica of the Great Hall. Use a red and gold paisley tablecloth as the foundation for your tablescape, evoking Gryffindor’s iconic colors and adding a luxurious touch. We sewed this tablecloth and the fabric is no longer available, but this one from Amazon is beautiful and would be perfect.
Scatter candles down the table for a warm, enchanting glow, and incorporate gold and pine accents to bring a festive, wintery feel to the tablescape. Hang candles overhead to mimic the magical floating candles in the Great Hall.
Complete the look with a Hogwarts Christmas tree decorated with candles, and wizarding trinkets with Hedwig herself presiding over the feast.
Hogwarts inspired Place Settings
Enhance the setting with Hogwarts house china featuring the house crests. Center each atop a gold charger paired with a black napkin and gold cutlery. This china is exquisitely detailed and a must for any Hogwarts fan who enjoys entertaining.
Place Hogwarts house crackers and an edible Golden Snitch at each setting for an added magical surprise. We created Golden Snitch favors using Ferrero Roche chocolates and adhesive Golden Snitch wings. Get the wings in our Amazon shop.
Hogwarts glassware
Pair each place setting with a beautiful stemless Hogwarts wine glasses featuring Harry Potter icons. This stunning glassware set includes four unique glasses with golden designs. You’ll find the symbols for the Deathly Hallows, the Marauder’s Map, Platform 9 3/4, and lastly, a familiar set of glasses under a lightning bolt scar. This set makes a wonderful gift for any Harry Potter fan.
