These Hermione Mugs Will Spice Up Your Morning Tea

When I was younger and first read Harry Potter, I immediately identified with the know-it-all Hermione Granger. Her confidence in her academic skills was inspiring, and I loved that she stayed true to herself and became BFFs with Harry and Ron despite their rocky start. When Harry Potter merchandise became popular, I was extremely pumped to buy Hermione Granger accessories, because she was a true literary hero in my mind. From Gryffindor scarves to Hogwarts hats, the options were plentiful.

Nowadays, there are even more options for Harry Potter merchandise, and Hermione Granger-inspired items abound. There's even a Harry Potter makeup palette. Of course, my favorite Hermione-inspired items are often mugs. After all, Hermione herself would probably approve, because nothing pairs with a mug like some tea and a great book. As she says, when in doubt, go to the library… and bring those library books home to pair with your mug of tea or hot chocolate or coffee. Here are some of my favorite Hermione Granger-inspired mugs. Buy one or buy them all — these mugs are more than worthy of the brightest witch of her age, and they pair perfectly with a library full of books.
