Harry Potter wall art – set design for Muggle apartments
Rooms tell stories – the only question is which ones. A piece of Harry Potter wall art turns the empty space over your sofa into a view of the castle, the Forbidden Forest, or your house crest, giving the room what interior designers call character and fans simply call home. At Elbenwald you'll find officially licensed wall art from the wizarding world in various formats and finishes – from an eye-catcher for the living room to a building block for a gallery wall. Details on size, material, and mounting are on the respective product page; you decide the location.
Why does Hogwarts work so well on a wall?
Because the films thrive on their obsession with detail. Hardly any set shows that better than the Great Hall: for the first film, hundreds of real candles hung on wires beneath the ceiling – until the flames burned through the wires and the candles fell onto the tables. After that, the floating candles were created digitally; Daniel Radcliffe still counts the incident among his favorite moments on set. That care all the way into the background is why Hogwarts motifs hold up as wall art: they're composed like paintings – and stand up to the second and third glance that a picture on a wall inevitably gets. The only thing they don't have to do, unlike the portraits in the castle, is move on their own.
Frequently asked questions
What motifs are available as Harry Potter wall art?
The range runs from castle and landscape views through the crests and color schemes of the four houses to character and scene motifs from the films. The selection changes; use the filters to narrow it down by motif or style.
Wall art or poster – which one suits me?
Wall art arrives ready to hang on a solid backing and looks finished immediately; a poster is more flexible, cheaper to start with, and can be framed to taste. If you like switching motifs often, posters are the better fit; if you're committing, go with wall art. The exact specifications are on the product page.
Where is the best place to hang wall art?
At eye level – with the center of the piece roughly at eye height – and protected from direct sunlight, so the colors last. Several smaller pieces work well as a group with even spacing; a large motif, on the other hand, needs open wall space and some distance for viewing.
Does wall art make a good gift?
Very well – it knows no clothing size and no wrong house, as long as you pick the right motif. For the undecided, castle and Hogwarts motifs are the safe choice; more inspiration is in the gift ideas.
Range overview
The Harry Potter motifs are part of the cross-brand wall art overview; if you want to decorate more flexibly, you'll also find the sister category posters there. Around the picture, the Home & Kitchen department furnishes the rest of the room – from lamps for the right lighting mood to pillows and blankets. And every other product from the wizarding world is gathered in the Harry Potter world, sortable through the filters.
What else goes with it?
Play is allowed in front of the backdrop: figures and wands turn the decorated wall into a complete setting. And if you'd rather orient your walls toward Middle-earth, you'll find what you need at The Lord of the Rings – a view of Mount Doom included.
