15 Harry Potter Inspired Greeting Cards

by Alex Weiss

Do you have a certain special Potterhead in your life? Of course you do! Whether that Potterhead has a birthday only weeks away, or he or she is your partner and you two have a special anniversary coming up, Harry Potter birthday cards and greeting cards always say the right thing. I personally love cards and get them for all my friends and family around the holidays, and especially for birthdays. You could say I'm known for writing novels inside personalized cards with silly or nerdy designs.

So in honor of that card passion of mine, and in case you have a special day to celebrate soon, I've rounded up 15 incredibly adorable Harry Potter inspired greeting cards. For Harry Potter fans, anything Harry Potter inspired is more than likely going to be a perfect fit for them, but there's a wide range of options to choose from. When picking out a card, it's important to consider if it conveys the message you want to say, and if it will put a smile on the receivers face — because that's the most important part.

From birthday cards for your BFF to lovey-dovey cards for your partner, and even a card for that annoying but lovable sibling of yours, here are some truly sweet and fun Harry Potter greeting cards:

1. An A-Dumbledoreable Card For Any Occasion
