10 Amazing Harry Potter-Themed Little Free Libraries

Attention all Harry Potter fans: We’re sharing some of the most awesome Little Free Libraries featuring a Harry Potter theme. (We think Hermione, especially, would love these book-sharing boxes.)

1. Quidditch, Anyone?

A middle-school librarian in Stoughton, Wisconsin, is the steward of Little Free Library #41984, which features Harry Potter and Draco Malfoy flying overhead.

2. A Buttoned-Up Library

Buttons adorn this Harry Potter–themed Little Free Library (#53693) outside a school in Hampton-in-Arden village, UK.

3. What’s Your Hogwarts House?

The sorting hat on this Little Free Library (#44815) in Council Bluffs, Iowa, probably knows. (Or you can find out here!)

4. Books Are Magic

“Books are magic and everyone needs a little magic in their lives. Our Little Free Library is an ode to Harry Potter and the wonderful J.K. Rowling. We hope you grab a book that speaks to you and get lost in the simple magic of reading.” –Steward Alison S., #54924, Pottstown, Pennsylvania

5. Platform 97 3/4?

Little Free Library #31302 in Barrie, Ontario, uses their real street number of 97 to pay tribute to Platform 9 3/4, where Harry, Ron, and Hermione board Hogwarts Express.

6. A Beautiful Bookstore

Where would Hermione be without Flourish & Blotts Bookstore? Little Free Library #60891 in Alameda, California, is a gorgeous tribute to the Diagon Alley shop.

7. Slytherin or Gryffindor?

This Little Free Library (#53166) in Hopkinsville, Kentucky, features the crests of Slytherin, Gryffindor, Hufflepuff, and Ravenclaw. It’s located in a playground by the city’s downtown fire station.

8. A Library Tobias Stump Would Love

Little Free Library #20524 in Seattle, Washington, also showcases the four Hogwarts houses. It’s perched on an old tree stump, turning an eyesore into a favorite neighborhood destination. (It’s also a great example of how a purchased Little Free Library can be transformed!)

9. Directions to Hogsmeade, Please

If you’re looking for Hogwarts, Diagon Alley, the Ministry of Magic, or Hogsmeade, Little Free Library #59556 in Salinas, California, can show you the way.

10. Hold Onto Your Sorting Hats

In Decatur, Georgia, an unbelievably impressive Little Free Library (#44471) has four book-sharing boxes: one for each Hogwarts house! Which would you look in first?
