Harry Potter hasn't just got a hold on our hearts, he's also got a hold on our homes. Ever since JK Rowling’s books took the muggle world by storm, superfans of the series have gone to extremes, turning ordinary spaces into amazing replicas of their favourite places from the wizarding world.

Potter superfans Angie and Jasper Price created a magical "Huffleclaw" Common Room in their home, combining their favourite elements from the two houses – Hufflepuff and Ravenclaw. They used all the Potter memorabilia they'd been collecting since 2000, including Quidditch sashes, broomsticks and pages from the Daily Prophet. 

The back of the door has been decorated with a portrait of the Fat Lady – played by Dawn French in the films – who guards the Gryffindor common room. Author and artist Jasper made a series of Harry Potter props that decorate the room, including a Quidditch case with bludgers chained down, sweets from Honeydukes sweet shop and realistic wand boxes stored in the cabinet.

The back of the other door is papered with headlines from the wizarding newspaper, The Daily Prophet. Crossed broomsticks above the doorway mark this room as a wizarding den as you enter.

A wooden case displays as many wands as we've ever seen in the muggle world! There's a clever mix of official merchandise, genuine props used in the film, handmade replicas and other suitable accessories they've picked up along the way. Jasper has even written and illustrated his own children's book called Zombie Asockalypse.

No detail in the room is accidental. The decals on the stained-glass window are made from a print they bought at a Wizarding World event. Now that's serious dedication.

There are lots of little extras dotted around, from a life-size model of Dobby the house elf to a few of Voldemort's Horcruxes.

What was an ordinary box room has been given a new magical purpose. Every surface is covered with their collection. On this side table, chocolate frog playing cards sit proudly beside Gilderoy Lockheart's book, a Remembrall that turns cloudy when you've forgotten something and a bottle of pumpkin juice.

The attention to detail is incredible, including a gallery of pictures printed from shots they took at the Leavesden Studio Tour and a replica of the magical Mirror of Erised, which Harry uses to obtain the Philosopher's Stone in the very first book.

The Black family tree is proudly displayed on a wall hanging. There are the counting beads for the Hogwarts houses, a Rita Skeeter biography of Albus Dumbledore and model owls displayed among a few items from their huge collection of memorabilia.

Artist Jasper painted tea leaves in the shape of a Grim in the bottom of teacups to recreate the famous omen that the divination teacher, Professor Trelawny uses to predict Harry's demise (again!).

The couple even has their own Mrs Norris, who goes by the name of Dignan the Wondercat, seen here lounging next to an incredibly authentic recreation of the Monster Book of Monsters. It's been quite a labour of love, which Jasper admits will probably never be totally finished. And we doubt it will ever be surpassed!

As the place where JK Rowling wrote most of the Harry Potter books, Edinburgh has a long association with the 'Boy who lived'. Now you can stay in a themed apartment, complete with a Gryffindor dorm room, decked out with fine materials, house cushions, a four-poster bed and 'floating' candles.

This is the loving work of dedicated Harry Potter fan Yue Gao, who spent seven months renovating the apartment in Edinburgh's Canongate. Each of the doors has been painted in a Hogwarts house colour, each with its own house crest. Portraits on the wall are straight out of the books (except they don't move!).

The second bedroom has been decorated to look like a carriage from the Hogwarts Express, and a little corner of the apartment is dedicated to Platform 9 3/4, complete with vintage clock and an optical illusion of a luggage trolley disappearing into the wall.

To take things to the ultimate fandom level, though, there's even a desk and mirror in the flat that once belonged to JK Rowling herself. The flat overlooks the famous Royal Mile in the city, giving a sense of the olde-worlde to the exterior too. But don't worry, there's a TV and wifi router inside.

A Hogwarts Express sign sits above the bedroom door along with vintage luggage racks and a model train. The two-bedroom apartment sleeps up to six people comfortably and can be rented for £134 ($168) a night, with a two-night stay minimum.

Even the kitchen has been given the Potter treatment, with the red, blue and yellow cupboard doors bearing the Hogwarts house sigils for Gryffindor, Ravenclaw and Hufflepuff, respectively. Funny, there's no sign of Slytherin anywhere!

Filled with crooked turrets, twisty staircases and big open fireplaces, this Gothic mansion in Minneapolis, Minnesota, looks like a real wizarding school. Jeff Arundel, the man behind this labour of love, spent seven years transforming the property into a witchy wonderland. It was even up for sale last year for $2.6 million – that’s a lot of galleons!

Inside the house is every Potterhead’s dream home with wooden beams, ornate windows and amazing metalwork. An enchanting four-poster bed and custom design fireplace wouldn’t look out of place in our favourite school for witches and wizards.

The 'castle' is actually a sprawling 4,547-square-foot brick house, with a gated courtyard, three bedrooms and three bathrooms, plus a private rooftop terrace with views of the city's skyline. 

Every square inch is embellished with amazing detail, drawing on Victorian design as much as its wizarding namesake. Cosy stone fireplaces and wing-backed chairs create a very cool common room to relax in.

The grand staircase at the centre of the house is about as magical as the moving staircase at Hogwarts, but definitely less dangerous.

A grand entrance lies behind a vast wooden front door. The original building dates back to 1911 and it sits opposite the U.S. Bank Stadium, home to the Minnesota Vikings American football team.

What child doesn’t want a secret extra wizarding bedroom under the stairs for when they just want to escape with a good book, practice their spells or just generally get up to no good? Children's librarian Courtney Bonnet made it happen for her children when she moved into a new Pennsylvania home with her family.

As soon as Courtney moved in, she noticed the cupboard under the stairs, and immediately thought of a certain room at Number 4, Privet Drive...

From the outside, it just looks like a regular flight of stairs, and you wouldn't even realise there's a room down there. But instead of stuffing it with mops, the vacuum cleaner and a bunch of old shoes, Courtney has shunned clever storage solutions in favour of a Potter-esque reading nook.

Courtney used pages from the first Harry Potter book to decorate the walls (and inspire her two children with her love of all things Potter), and added other decorations inspired by its magical world. But don't worry, the pages came from books that had already been damaged!

When Jon Chambers asked his young daughters how they should decorate their house for Halloween, they asked for Diagon Alley – the famous street from Harry Potter where the wizarding world do their shopping. So he did what any self-respecting dad would do and made it his mission – and full-time job – to make the best set he could.

The #diagonalleyproject took shape as Jon put his job-hunt on hold. He'd just wrapped up as a creative director at a tech company and threw himself into recreating the famous street from the Potter books in incredible detail. With the help of neighbours and friends who lent their skills and materials, Jon managed to create a life-size alley in the driveway of his family home.

The end product has six meticulously recreated storefronts – including Eeylops Owl Emporium, Ollivanders wand shop, Quality Quidditch Supplies, Magical Menagerie, Flourish and Blotts bookshop and Madam Malkin’s Robes for All Occasions. The project was so successful that Jon is moving it to a permanent home at the nearby Camp Korey, which offers holidays for children with serious illnesses so they too can experience the magic of his Hogwarts-inspired creation.

Another ambitious parent had the same idea as Courtney and saw an opportunity to recreate Harry's makeshift bedroom in the cupboard under his stairs when he bought a new house in Connecticut. The project was blogged by dad Peter on his Chronicles of a New Dad showing the transformation of a drab and dreary storage space into a fantastical Harry Potter-themed hideout for his two young sons.

Instead of pages from the Potter books, Peter went for a collage effect using copies of the wizarding newspaper The Daily Prophet. He used the Gryffindor colours of maroon and gold and added his favourite Potter quotes on the stairs. He said: "The Daily Prophet front pages provided a perfect way to feel the ups and downs of the seven books… from Harry Potter winning the Tri-Wizard Tournament to The Dark Lord Returning, these headlines did just that!"

Peter explains in his blog: "As an elementary school principal and former teacher I know how important it is for children to have a space of their own to read and do schoolwork, and a space where they feel comfortable. Clearly, I took my inspiration from the famous cupboard where Harry Potter spent most of his childhood."

Peter added a soft carpet for more comfy reading and added a few finishing touches – the door sign, a soft toy that looks like Hedwig, and a troublesome Cornish Pixie. A few themed pillows, a Marauders’ Map blanket and some finishing touches and the cupboard under the stairs was complete.

From a legendary dad to an amazing teacher – Kyle Hubler spent 70 hours on creating an authentic Hogwarts experience for his class, right in their very own school in Oregon.

Writing on Facebook, Hubler said: "I got to reveal the classroom to my students yesterday and they loved it! Seeing their faces light up made all the time and effort put into this totally worth it! We're going to have a fun year!"

The students enter the classroom through a door decorated to look like the red brick walls of Platform 9 3/4, where the Hogwarts Express departs from in all of the Harry Potter books.

Growing up, Hubler was a big fan of the books, saying they taught him "about acceptance, loyalty and integrity", and that it was an ethos he wanted his pupils to take away.

Hubler went to huge lengths to recreate the school in his own, using memorabilia he had at home and ordering more from the internet to finish the project. He even incorporated some teaching methods from Hogwarts with this version of the house point system, set up to reward good behaviour in his students.

Who hasn’t dreamed about dropping by Hagrid’s hut for a giant cup of tea? Fans of Hogwarts' most lovable staff member can now stay in an amazing stone roundhouse, complete with turrets. Potter fan and owner Carol Cavendish built the hut as a wizarding addition to her fantasy fiction-themed holiday park called North Shire in April 2019.

Located near the North Yorkshire coast, 'Ground Keepers Cottage' cost £195,000 ($224.7k) to build and includes lots of rustic touches we’re sure Hagrid would appreciate, from the open stone fireplace to a pointed arch doorway. Unlike Hagrid’s one-room set up in the Harry Potter films, this stone hut has more room to spare, with three circular slate-roofed buildings, two with turrets and stained glass windows.

The hut sleet sleeps up to six people thanks to a handmade wooden bunkbed built into the wall of the master bedroom. Another two people can sleep on the sofa bed in the living room plus you can even bring your very own dog - though maybe not one as big as Fang - for a reasonable fee.

Despite its modest size, the bedroom is cosy and welcoming with faux furs, rugs and a bedside lamp that's perfect for a spot of night-time reading. Any muggle would be honoured to spend a night here, and you know kids will love climbing the ladder to those bunk beds!

A coil of rope, a giant set of keys and a hurricane lantern add to the magical feel of the cottage. Other Hagrid-esque items like leather bags and copper buckets hang from the exposed wooden beams.

A door from the living room leads to this amazing family bathroom. The star of the show is a freestanding copper bath and matching sink and the glossy green metro tiles are very like those found in the Ministry of Magic.

In another genius decorating move, the bright copper sink sits on top of a wooden barrel and the whole room is bathed in colour thanks to the beautiful coloured glass in the leaded windows. Perfect for a soak after a hard day taking care of hippogriffs and traipsing through the Forbidden Forest!

Carol, who taught herself to read after being diagnosed with dyslexia, says books like the Harry Potter series have always been important to her. “It is so fantastic to create an environment where others can also leave behind everyday life and step into their favourite storybook.”
