10 Magical Last Minute Gifts for Your Favorite Gryffindor 🦁
Everything to Get Them Past The Fat Lady In the Painting and Cozy in the Common Room
The House of Hogwarts heroes like Ron, Hermione, and of course Harry, Gryffindor is perhaps the most popular of the four Hogwarts houses. Gryffindor is known for courage, never backing down from a fight or being afraid to do what is right. It makes sense then that their house is represented by a lion, and that their colors are bold red and shining gold.
So how do you find the perfect gift for a Gryffindor, someone who knows what they believe in and has strong moral convictions? Not all Gryffindors are alike, but we’ve gathered some of the best presents you can get for the lionheart on your list – even if you’ve been stuck on shopping til the last minute.
Defense Against the Dark Cards
Okay, okay, physical gift cards aren’t all that bad… but they aren’t quite as magical as a GiftYa, either! Just choose from GiftYa’s catalog of thousands of local and national vendors, add a custom design (perhaps the Gryffandor emblem?), and poof! It’s cast off to their phone or email.
Your favorite Gryffindor can use the gift like magic, too – from their phone like an egift code, or they can attach it to a card they carry all the time anyway. When they make a purchase with the qualifying brand using that card, the balance is automatically pulled from Gringotts – err, deducted from their gift balance until it’s used up. And if they don’t like the brand you picked for some reason, they can also exchange or regift their balance with just a few taps.
So now let’s get to the good stuff – the best last minute gifts for a Gryffindor you love!
1 - A Set of Quills
Any Big Harry Potter Fan Will Be Delighted With This GIft
Anybody who has read Harry Potter books or seen the movies (and who hasn’t at this point?) is familiar with how Hogwards students have to do their schoolwork: using a quill and ink.
Even with the unlimited power of magic, the wizarding world somehow hasn’t come up with the pen. But who are we to question the lore?
Your Gryffindor friend will have a blast dipping their quills in a pot of ink and writing like they do in the wizarding world. Get them a couple of quills, a bottle of ink or two, and maybe even some parchment if you really want to give the complete package!
2 - Barnes & Noble
Let Them Get The Latest Book About the Wizarding World
Buy a Barnes & Noble gift card
Everybody who was alive in the 2000s is familiar with the Harry Potter books or movies. And even though those seven books are incredibly popular to this day, there is a whole lot of additional wizard world content out there that isn't part of the main series.
The Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them film series deals with Grindelwald's rise to power, but it’s not strictly a screen-based story. There are Fantastic Beasts books as well. J.K. Rowling wrote the Fantastic Beasts book to read like a Hogwarts textbook.
Rowling also released The Tales of Beedle the Bard, which goes into more backstory about the Peverell brothers and how they came to be in possession of the deathly hallows.
There’s also a play called Harry Potter and the Cursed Child that was originally published in two parts, but nowadays you can get both in one book.
And on top of all that there is also a book called Quidditch Through the Ages… which wasn’t written by J.K. Rowling, but it’s still considered an official part of the wizarding world lore.
With so many great choices you are sure to be able to find a last minute gift that your Gryffindor will love! So pick up a copy, and (or!) send them a Barnes & Noble GiftYa so they can grab it themselves.

3 - Hogwarts Legacy
Let Them Live Their Best Gryffindor Life In These Triple AAA RPG
Hogwarts Legacy is an open world action-role playing (RPG) game that was released by Avalanche Software and Warner Brothers, now available on all modern systems. That means PC, Xbox Series S, PS5, and even Nintendo Switch, so your Gryffindor friend will have some way to play it.
When they do, they will get to experience what it was like to be a Hogwarts student in the 1800s. But they aren’t just going to be any old student. They can choose their House (Gryffinddor, of course), and their character will hold the key to an ancient secret that threatens to tear the wizarding world apart.
With its breathtaking graphics and immersive RPG style gameplay, it’s no wonder Hogwarts Legacy has managed to land so many 5 star reviews. If your Gryffindor friend likes Harry Potter and video games, then this is the best possible gift you could get them at the last minute!
GiftYa Recommends: Grab an Xbox Live gift card , Playstation gift card, or Nintendo eShop gift card to complete the gift. Perfect for all that extra downloadable content!
