This Harry Potter Advent Calendar Counts Down to Christmas with Candy and Trivia

Updated: Jan. 14, 2024

Get ready to test your Hogwarts knowledge and celebrate the magic of the holidays.

For some of us, November means that the countdown to the holidays has officially begun. And is there any better way to track the days to the most magical time of the year than with our friends from Hogwarts? I mean, the holidays pretty much guarantee a full Harry Potter marathon is in store.

That being said, pull out a Weasley sweater and a warm glass of butterbeer. We’re saying accio to the perfect Potter-themed countdown to Christmas: a Harry Potter Trivia Advent Calendar!

It’s seriously the best gift idea for Harry Potter fans who want to test their Hogwarts knowledge and indulge their sweet tooth. Without further ado, let’s unlock the magic of this Advent calendar. Alohomora!

What’s in the Harry Potter Advent calendar?

No pumpkin pasties, treacle tarts or chocolate frogs wait behind the 24 doors of this Advent calendar. Instead, behold a classic favorite straight from the Honeyduke’s Express, Bertie Bott’s Every-Flavour Beans.

Don’t expect any butterbeer jelly beans or notoriously nasty flavors. Rather, look forward to an assortment of banana, blueberry, cherry, cinnamon, cotton candy, green apple, lemon drop, marshmallow, tutti-frutti and watermelon beans. Yum! Along with a bag of these enchanting favorites, every day has a Wizarding World trivia question. Are you ready to try and win 1o points for Gryffindor?

Is the trivia hard?

I got a Harry Potter Advent calendar to put my knowledge to the test. It’s a task any Ravenclaw would adore!

Familiar characters, Hogwarts professors, creatures and Wizarding World objects await on daily Advent calendar doors. The trivia ranges in difficulty. Many of the questions are straightforward and simple, but to get all 24 questions correct requires extensive Harry Potter knowledge across the series. This countdown is a wonderful way to count down to Christmas at the Weasley house.

Why do people love this Advent calendar?

We don’t need the Mirror of Erised to tell us why people can’t get enough of this calendar. It’s a fantastic holiday gift for any Harry Potter fan in your life. Diehard Harry Potter fans “of all ages” get to prove their knowledge of all the spells and charms around while munching on classic HP candy. What’s not to love?

Where to Buy the 2023 Harry Potter Advent Calendar

If this calendar sounds like its up your alley (or should we say Diagon Alley), it’s already available on Jelly Belly’s website and Amazon. This box of jelly bean and trivia goodness is currently $19.99 on Jelly Belly’s website and $24.86 on Amazon. Of course, as the holidays get closer, we’ll whip up our favorite Harry Potter-inspired recipes and grab a bag of Harry Potter chocolate for our stockings. Until then, we’ll be dreaming of a Hogsmeade Christmas and brushing up on our HP knowledge.
