Even though I haven't been a student for quite a while now, I will never forget how challenging it was to transition into a new semester at school. Swapping free summer evenings for nights in the library was beyond daunting, and moving in can be straight-up hellacious. Luckily, popular home decor brand Pottery Barn just came out with a brand-new line of items, which are guaranteed to make the start of the new school year positively enchanting. So, if you want this fall semester to be more spell-binding than ever, these 10 items from Pottery Barn's Harry Potter line should definitely do the trick. You don't even need to be headed back to university to add some of these Potter-themed home goods to your pad.
Thanks to the new Harry Potter home line at Pottery Barn, Pottery Barn Kids, and PBteen that dropped on Friday, Aug. 31, per Hello Giggles, you can begin this semester with Potter-themed dorm accessories to really get you motivated. TBH, sometimes I actually dreaded going back to school up until I'd go back-to-school shopping. With these mature (and seriously awesome) HP-themed additions to your dorm room this year, you'll feel magical, brave, and ready for yet another year at Hogwarts (or whichever wizarding school you got into, I suppose). In all honesty, you'll definitely outshine Malfoy with any one of these glorious back-to-school necessities, which also happen to be perfect for any design refresh this fall.
