2020 Collection: Harry Potter™
On this day in 1980, a boy was born that would change the Wizarding World. In Celebration of his 40th Birthday here is a review of the 2020 Harry Potter™ Keepsake Ornament line.
In partnership with Warner Bros. Consumer Products, Hallmark has delighted fans with Harry Potter ornaments for 20 years.
Hallmark Keepsake Ornaments once again will make it possible to celebrate Christmas in the Wizarding World. This year’s offering includes two new interactive Hallmark Keepsake Storyteller Ornaments along with three re-issued Keepsake Storyteller Ornaments and coordinating Christmas Tree Topper that was released last year. Connect all six pieces to recreate an epic scene from the iconic film Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone™ using light and sound. Two more ornaments featuring the book cover from Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban™ and one inspired by Hagrid’s Hut will also be available this year.

About Wizarding World
More than two decades ago, a young Harry Potter was whisked onto Platform 9¾ at King’s Cross Station, and readers everywhere were swept along with him into a magical universe, created by J.K. Rowling. In the years since, the seven Harry Potter bestsellers have inspired eight blockbuster movies, an award-winning stage play, and, more recently, the start of the Fantastic Beasts five-film series. People of all ages have been enthralled by these extraordinary adventures, set within an expanding universe, inspired by the vision of J.K. Rowling.
For today’s growing worldwide fan community, and for generations to come, the Wizarding World welcomes everyone to explore more of this magical universe — past, present and future. The Wizarding World also provides fans with an instant, trusted kite-mark of quality and authenticity.
