It’s hard to believe that it’s been over two decades since Harry Potter first graced the big screen. Adapted from J.K. Rowling’s bestselling novels, the Harry Potter films were not only massive box-office successes but were also beloved by critics, launching a whole generation of fans — mostly late Millennials and early Gen Z — who grew up with Harry Potter being a global phenomenon.
Now, you’ve just finished yet another Harry Potter movie marathon, covering all eight main films plus the three Fantastic Beasts entries. The magic still lingers, but you find yourself wondering: What more can I do to stay connected to the Wizarding World? Well, here’s your guide to deepening your journey into magic even further:
1. Read the Books (Duh)
If you haven’t already, it’s finally time to overcome any lingering laziness and dive into the books that started it all. Reading all seven original novels — and even The Cursed Child script if you’re curious — will enrich your understanding of the story, characters, and lore in ways the films simply couldn’t capture.
Being already in love with the movies, you’ll appreciate the added depth, details, and magical interactions. Plus, here’s some extra motivation: the Harry Potter books are very easy to read, with a smooth sentence flow and accessible vocabulary. Trust me, you’ll be flying through them faster than a Firebolt.
2. Check Out the Hogwarts Library Collection
The Hogwarts Library series — Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them, Quidditch Through the Ages, and The Tales of Beedle the Bard — offers a delightful expansion of the Wizarding World.
The Tales of Beedle the Bard gives you five short fables, including “The Tale of the Three Brothers” you saw in Deathly Hallows. Fantastic Beasts is a fictional “textbook” cataloging magical creatures, and Quidditch Through the Ages dives into the history and mechanics of the wizarding world’s favorite sport. All three are written in-universe, making you feel like an actual Hogwarts student flipping through your required reading.
3. Watch Harry Potter and the Cursed Child
If you ever find yourself in America, London, Melbourne, Hamburg, Toronto, or Tokyo, make sure to catch Harry Potter and the Cursed Child live on stage. This award-winning play brings the magic of the Wizarding World to life with stunning theatrical effects and a continuation of Harry’s story into the next generation. While the script has divided fans, there’s no denying the experience of seeing spells, duels, and time-travel on a real stage is something unforgettable for any Potterhead.
4. Get Sorted at Harry Potter Website
If you still haven’t been sorted into your Hogwarts house, discovered your Patronus, or chosen your wand, what are you waiting for? Previously known as Pottermore and then rebranded as Wizarding World, and now HarryPotter.com serves as the ultimate online portal for fans. Their sorting quizzes are fun, surprisingly insightful, and a rite of passage for every wizard and witch. Beyond that, the site keeps you updated with news, interactive experiences, and tons of magical trivia.
5. Play Hogwarts Legacy and Harry Potter: Quidditch Champions
If you’re looking for the most immersive way to live inside the Wizarding World, video games are where it’s at. Hogwarts Legacy lets you explore every nook and cranny of Hogwarts, Hogsmeade, the Forbidden Forest, and beyond. You can fly on brooms, tame over 15 magical beasts, perform 34 different spells (yes, even the Unforgivable Curses if you choose), and engage in hours upon hours of side quests and challenges. With over 100 hours of gameplay, it’s a dream come true for Potterheads.
Still craving more? Harry Potter: Quidditch Champions fills in the one missing piece: the chance to compete in full Quidditch matches. Whether you play as a Chaser, Beater, Keeper, or Seeker, it’s fast-paced, colorful fun that will make you feel like you’re right there on the pitch.
What After That?
If you’ve done all of the above, congratulations — you’re among the most devoted Harry Potter fans on Earth! At this point, you can expand your love by diving into collectibles, turning your room into a mini-Hogwarts, playing classic Harry Potter board games, trying out older PC games like Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets or Quidditch World Cup, or even crafting your own DIY wands and props.
The next big adventure? Waiting patiently for Warner Bros.’ upcoming Harry Potter TV series reboot and any rumored spin-offs, like the Marauders prequel or further Fantastic Beasts sequels. Until then — Mischief Managed.
