In 2000 the Kurt Adler, a famous holiday decorations company, sold Harry Potter ornaments and continued to sell them for just a few short years. The Kurt Adler Harry Potter ornaments came in a variety of materials, including Polonaise glass, resin, tin, and plastic. The Polonaise glass pieces were all hand-blown and hand-painted in a factory in Poland. All the ornaments were officially licensed by the Warner Bros. company.
Ornaments are not the only items you will find here that were made by Kurt Adler. You will also find string lights and Christmas stockings.
I was unable to find pictures for every item listed here. If you have a picture of any of the missing items that I can use please contact me. When I use your picture I will give you credit as the source of the photo, which I have already done for the photos that others have kindly let me use. I have included my contact information for every item that is missing a picture. Unless otherwise stated, all images are from Amazon.
These products sold out long ago but, fortunately, many can still be found on Amazon and Ebay. The ornaments are fun and beautiful recreations of scenes from the first book, Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone. Although I have provided links to both these sources I cannot guarantee that either online retailer will have what you are looking for. Check back often because you never know when an item will be listed for sale.
