Geek Gear has a special Harry Potter edition of their monthly subscription box! When you sign up, let them know which house you’re in, and they’ll take care of the rest, delivering a box of magical items to you every month!
Update: The items in this subscription were unlicensed and looks to be no longer available!
This Ravenclaw was happy to see blue tissue paper!
The product card is also blue! I’m wondering if the colours are different depending on your house!
Everything included in July’s box! There were four different variations sent out of the bookmarks!
Undesirable No.1 Shirt This shirt features Harry Potter’s Wanted poster that appeared in Deathly Hallows for his involvement in the Order of the Phoenix. Geek Gear lets you choose your shirt size, but they are a unisex cut so the medium is huge on me! It’s comfy, though, and is made of a nice quality cotton. The screenprinting is also well done and hopefully it will hold up in the wash!
There was a package sealed with Hogwarts crest ribbon and a seal sticker!
Always Drawstring Bag I see people wearing these sorts of bags as backpacks, and it’s a cute idea! This one is a medium size. I love the imagery of the doe (Snape’s patronus) and the quote. There are two cords to either carry it or wear over your shoulders.
There was also a cute giftbox with the Hogwarts crest on it! I love the Hogwarts crest, and that the motto on the ribbon is Latin for “never tickle a sleeping dragon!” I wonder who tested that theory?
Ravenclaw Bookmark This homemade bookmark is perfect to mark my place in Harry Potter and the Cursed Child — no spoilers, I’m pacing myself and have only just reached Act 2 of the first half!
Snape Print OH man, I still get sad whenever I see Alan Rickman’s Snape, or watch any of his other movies. This print is pop art and well designed! Obviously a take on Shepard Fairey’s HOPE.
Hogwarts Sticker This sticker is huge! I wish I still had a laptop (or a tablet) because it would fit perfectly! It’s even too big to fit the cover of my Kindle. It would be fantastic to put on your car as well.
Platform 9 3/4 Badge Warning, this patch will not grant you access to Platform 9 3/4. Please don’t try!
Printed Postcards These postcards about double the size of regular postcards! I think they would be cute framed as well as the prints are really cool!
Molly Weasley’s Cookbook: Oh my gosh, this cookbook was made just for Geek Gear, and it’s written by Mrs Weasley! What a cute idea! There are some traditional treats included like rock cakes and Butterbeer, along with Mrs Weasley’s commentary. (Apparently cookie cutters are a Muggle thing.)
I’m actually going to attempt this recipe, since I have all the ingredients on hand.
Time Turner Keychain Hands down, my favourite item in the box! I have a real (replica) time turner from the Noble Collection, and I have to say this one is almost as accurate! It’s sparkly and shiny and isn’t too heavy that it would weight down a ring of keys.
This was my first Geek Gear box and it arrived at the perfect time since I’m in the middle of reading the new book and planning my first trip to the Wizarding World in Universal Studios this fall. I started reading the books back in 1999 — my grandparents bought the first three novels for my sister’s birthday, but I was the bookworm in the family so I promptly stole them and read them all before she even noticed they were missing. I love that it’s 17 years later and Harry Potter is still loved and treasured, and that there are boxes like this that cater to the loyal Potterheads like me!

I cannot order this box – I’ve tried from several sites and always get re-directed to a web page that’s no longer working. I live in the united states, but this says the box will ship to the US.
FYI – Harry Potter’s 20th anniversary is this coming year and celebratory plans are already in the works per the Bloomsbury Publishing notice I received today (see copy below). I am anticipating special goodies this coming year. ???
“Monday 26th June 2017 will be a momentous day for Harry Potter fans. It marks the 20th anniversary of the publication of Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone, and today we announced exciting plans to celebrate 20 years of Harry Potter magic.
From an idea born on a train journey to its creation in a small cafe in Edinburgh, Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone is the book that started a global phenomenon. Starting with an initial hardback print run of just 500 copies, the series has now gone on to sell over 450 million copies worldwide in 79 different languages, inspire a major movie franchise, a spellbinding theatre production and so much more. It is the book that put Harry Potter’s destiny in motion and created a whole new generation of readers.
We will celebrate this milestone moment with a year-long campaign, including special anniversary publishing and new projects with key partners.
To mark the magical anniversary and share the excitement with fans old and new, we will publish four Hogwarts House Editions of Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone: Gryffindor, Hufflepuff, Ravenclaw and Slytherin. Each edition will feature the house crest illustrated on the jacket, bespoke extra content and stunning sprayed edges in house colours.
Further celebrations are marked by a major partnership between Bloomsbury and the British Library. The British Library will curate and launch a brand new exhibition on the magic of Harry Potter, inspired by J.K. Rowling’s modern masterpiece and opening 20th October 2017. This will be the first British Library exhibition inspired by a single series of books by a living author. From medieval descriptions of dragons and griffins to the origins of the Philosopher’s Stone, the exhibition will take readers on a spellbinding journey to the heart of the Harry Potter stories. The exhibition will showcase the history of magic across the world, using an extraordinary range of wizarding books, manuscripts and objects, and combine fascinating treasures from the British Library’s collections with previously unseen material from the Bloomsbury and J.K. Rowling archives.
Bloomsbury will be working closely with key partners throughout 2017 to make sure Harry Potter fans old and new can be part of the celebrations. There will be exclusive events and major competitions to mark this magical moment. More news on these exciting plans will be announced later in the year.”
What a great box. I agree and the time turner is perfect. You will love the HP stuff at Universal. It is a great park to visit. Let me know if you have any questions on it.
