Harry Potter: Potion Bottle Light

Batch fresh from Slug and Jiggers Apothecary, the Harry Potter Potion Bottle Light is a must have for any fan of the The Chosen One

Brighten up your desk or bedside table with this officially licensed magical light. Shaped to look like a bottle of poison with a label on the front complete with warnings, this great little lamp is a perfect gift for any Potterhead.

On the front of this uncanny lantern are the words ‘Extremely Poisonous’, ‘Potion No.86’, and ‘Contains Powdered Moonstone and Syrup of Hellebore’. Featuring 2 modes, you can set the light to static or change it to a spellbinding twinkle.

20 cm tall and powered by USB, it’s an enchanting way to keep the Dark Lord from your door.

If you’re a wizard you can do anything, including creating light out of darkness. You’ll feel a bit like a wizard, then, when you make this authentic-looking potion bottle glow in a darkened room. On a shelf, it immediately gives the room an ‘apothecary’ kind of feel, and makes a great gift for anyone who imagines that they inhabit the world of Harry Potter.

It’s officially licensed Harry Potter merchandise so is designed to be in keeping with the props from the film, and any superfan can’t help but be pleased with the quality and authenticity of this as a room decoration; it looks like it’s freshly brewed up by the dark potion master himself. It’s powered by a USB cable, which is included with the large bottle, and of course this can be plugged into your computer or any mains adaptor that has a USB port.

We love the dark sea-green tone to this which is just right for a potion that states ‘Extremely Poisonous’ on the side of the aged-looking label. When plugged in, a discrete button around the side of the base turns it on or switches it to ‘twinkle’ mode where soft lights will alternate mysteriously in the murky depths of the bottle. Apparently containing ‘powdered moonstone and syrup of hellebore’, there is no actual liquid inside the bottle
