Christmas is a time of wonder, and for the past two years, one passionate Potterhead has turned her holiday decor into pure magic. Meet Emma Thompson, a die-hard Harry Potter enthusiast from northern England, who has transformed her Christmas tree into a dazzling tribute to the wizarding world.
Buzzfeed has all the enchanting details about Emma’s creative endeavor. With just one glance at her tree, it’s clear that if Emma had attended Hogwarts, she would have undoubtedly helped Slytherin clinch the House Cup (though we’ll keep that between us!).
“This is my second year doing the tree, and I’ve added even more this time,” Emma shared with BuzzFeed. As a proud member of House Slytherin, she’s definitely not short on spirit. The decorating process takes around eight hours—this includes the magical display she’s created around the tree. Thankfully, Emma has a treasure trove of HP memorabilia collected over her 11 visits to Warner Bros. Studios, making her task a little easier.
“I’ve amassed quite the collection of Harry Potter goodies, and one day I thought, ‘What a shame to keep them hidden away in a cupboard,’” Emma revealed. “So, I thought, why not create a Harry Potter-themed tree?”
The tree and its surrounding area are adorned with a plethora of Potter-themed items, including the Hogwarts Express, house crests, mini broomsticks, Harry’s iconic glasses, and even an envelope just like the one Harry received inviting him to Hogwarts.
The internet is buzzing with excitement over Emma’s creation, with her Facebook album racking up over 66,000 shares. Even J.K. Rowling herself gave a nod of approval by liking a tweet from a friend about the tree, which surely feels as exhilarating as catching the golden snitch.
