Christmas , and the insanity that often seems to skirt that holiday , are fast approaching . It ’s not just in our home , or all over the globe , but even in the worlds that seem to exist only in our imaginativeness . Christmas seems to be the only holiday celebrated in the Wizarding World ( other than Halloween ) .
While it has been confirm that Anthony Goldstein , ofRavenclawhouse , is , in fact , Judaic , we never do see any sign of Hanukkah or any other winter vacation . So , here we will focus on some other thing you did n’t know ( or more likely forgot ) about Harry and his C - covered celebrations . From least awesome to most awesome , here are a fewgiftsyou may have forgotten Harry and Quaker received for the Christmas holiday .
A Toothpick
That ’s veracious , back in twelvemonth two , Harry Potter , The Boy Who Lived , renowned wizard of our time , receive a toothpick among his Christmas giving . Who was it from ? His family of path ! The Dursleys , rather than send nothing , spend the money to check that Harry incur this insulting admonisher of their notion for him . It deserves to be forgotten , of course of action , but I reckon Harry remembers it .
The movies may have ignored the less exciting talent , but the books did not . The toothpick arrived in the same deal of gifts that include the traditional sweater from Mrs. Weasley .
Homework Planner
Hermione got matching gift for both Harry and Ron in their fifth year , magical speaking homework deviser . " Do it today or later you ’ll compensate , " the diary likes to chant when flipped open . Hermione ’s centre was certainly in the right place , 5th twelvemonth is O.W.L. test class after all , but still .
While Harry did not burn up the planner as he originally ideate , neither here nor Ron put the book to adept consumption , or any use for that matter . Who really needs a homework planner when your best friend is Hermione anyway ? Maybe she was trying to keep the boy from pestering her too much , but she does n’t seem to have succeeded there either .
Perfume
Harry is not the only one who received presents on Christmas and , in their 5th twelvemonth , Ron tries to ramify out from traditional books and confect and buys a bottle of perfume for Hermione . The scent is draw as . " unusual . " Ron does n’t feel the present went over as well as could have been wait , though Hermione is comparatively touched by the motion .
But 5th year was a rough one for Christmas nowadays all around ( apparently being the same year as the homework planners above ) .
Snitch and Broom Socks
Again , here is a endowment that make out directly from the affectionateness , but sometimes handmade presents are not as apprise as they should be . It is in Harry ’s 4th twelvemonth that he is woken particularly early to ascertain Dobby in his dormitory expectantly waiting to declare oneself Harry his Christmas gift , a mismatched Seth of homemade socks , one green with snitch on it , the other loss with a normal of broom handle .
Harry does wear the air-sleeve , receiving a compliment from Mad Eye Moody , but that ’s probably the only outing they get . The socks are never mentioned again .
Flying with the Cannonsbook
In 2nd twelvemonth Ron gifts Harry a book about his ( meaning Ron ’s ) favorite Quidditch squad , the ordinarily last place Chudley Cannons , the very same team whose colors ( orange ) cover most of Ron ’s own bedroom at the Burrow .
It ’s a particularly thoughtful endowment in the 2nd year of their friendship , both taking into account Harry ’s Quidditch prowess , as well as the fact that Ron remains the better versed in full term of fandom and team history . It ’s one of the more personal gifts we see the boy exchange during the series ( in the books at least ) .
A Magical Penknife
The greatest implication behind the giving of the penknife in Harry ’s fourth year is that it is the first Christmas present Sirius is able to institutionalise Harry without hiding his own personal identity . The Christmas before Sirius send a present tense as well , but was still on the foot race and could not send a card or sign his name to the gift .
While a penknife may seem a silly natural endowment for a whizz this one is magic , with an adhesion that supposedly can undo any curl . I guess when alohamora fails you there need to be another choice , and Sirius makes sure Harry has one .
Wooden Flute
In the movieHarry Potter and the Sorcerer ’s Stone , we see Hagrid playing a wooden flute glass while he sits outside his hut . In the rule book , however , Hagrid sends a wooden flute he carved to Harry as a Christmas transverse flute .
Aside from the gift being handmaid , from Hagrid , and a part of the first set of gifts Harry has ever received for Christmas , it also come in ready to hand when ( at least at the end of the Bible ) Harry , Ron , and Hermione go to retrieve the Sorcerer ’s Stone . In the record book , Harry work the transverse flute to help lull Fluffy , the three - head dog , to sleep .
Model Firebolt
InHarry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix , Harry receive a number of presents for the first time from friends outside his schooling community of interests . Tonks , having only just met Harry over the summer , sends him a miniature model firebolt racing broom that can even vanish around the room . The gift is both thoughtful and veracious on object in terminal figure of Harry ’s pastime .
A gift imply just for play it ’s nice to see Harry recognized as a teenager with , at least somewhat of , a life outside shoal and fighting Lord Voldemort .
Emerald Green Sweater
While in the account book we see Mrs. Weasley get far more creative with the sweaters she transport Harry for Christmas than the ace she place her own kid ( she made him one with a firedrake on it when he was in the Triwizard Tournament ) the gullible perspirer she sends him in his first year is perhaps the most poignant .
She has only had word of him from Ron , apart from a brief glance of him on chopine 9 3/4 , and yet she makes him a sweater just as she does for all her other child . As it come as part of his first - ever solidification of Christmas giving the jumper is peculiarly meaningful . And most people forget that the perspirer was gullible in the books , as in the films it is bluish .
The Firebolt
Who leave about Harry ’s Firebolt broomstick ? No one . Why is it on this listing ? Because pic viewer will not have known that the Firebolt arrived as a Christmas present .
In the Alfonso Cuarón film , the Firebolt does n’t make an coming into court until the end of the flick , but in fact , as written , it appears far earlier in the write up . Apart from being perhaps the most expensive Christmas present tense Harry ever received , it is no doubt his favorite , by far . All the more fun because , like the invisibility cloak in book one , it comes with no note . Harry ’s best gift always seem under questionable circumstances .
