9 Magical Harry Potter Christmas Sweaters

by Julia Seales

Before Ugly Christmas Sweaters were a thing, Molly Weasley was knitting sweaters for her family, Harry Potter was wearing Dudley’s old clothes, and every Hogwarts student was sporting their house colors in various knits. They were ahead of the trend, and thanks to their style you can now incorporate your fandom into your holiday wear with some Harry Potter Christmas sweaters. Even if you can’t knit yourself a Weasley sweater, you can buy one. That’s the magic of this series: Hogwarts is always there to welcome you home, or in this case, Hogwarts Christmas sweaters are always there to infiltrate your wardrobe.

Harry Potter and Christmas go together like Mr. and Mrs. Claus. Something about the festive atmosphere of Hogwarts, Harry and Ron’s epic gifts, and the magic in the air makes Harry Potter perfect for December. There’s a reason these movies are always playing during the holidays: you just can’t separate HP from Christmastime. So whether you’re looking for an outfit to wear to an ugly Christmas sweater party, or you just want to show off your love of Hogwarts in general, here are some great options for Harry Potter-themed Christmas sweaters. Merry Christmas, ya filthy Muggle.
