As the holidays continue to engulf our every waking moment, we are all haunted by one singular question: what Harry Potter themed gift can I buy for my introverted, intuitive, feeling, judgmental friend? If you have no idea what I'm talking about, check out the official Myers Briggs assessment to determine your four letter personality type. Got it? Good. Now here's the perfect Harry Potter gift for your personality type and all other personality types, because honestly, everyone loves Harry Potter.

Seriously, Harry Potter might be the least controversial uniting factor for every kind of person out there, especially for those of us who grew up with the books. We might be shy and withdrawn, or friendly and bold, or perceptive or logical or any other grab bag of traits, but we can all agree that Harry is our favorite boy wizard (and that Hermione is the secret protagonist of the whole series).

So, when you're out shopping for Potterhead gifts this year, why not make your choices as personal as possible? These gifts are sure to wow everyone, from your serious ISTJs to your fun loving ENFPs. Check them out for a personalized, scientifically chosen present straight from the Wizarding World:
