24 Harry Potter Advent Calendar Activities for Kids. My Charlie is Harry Potter mad and loves anything to do with the wizarding world. So this holiday season I have decided to make Christmas extra special. By creating a Harry Potter Christmas. There are some great Harry Potter Advent Calendars on the market and we have tried some over the years. Including the Lego Harry Potter Advent Calendar. But I wanted to create something that was a little bit different. So instead I have created lots of Harry Potter printable activities. Perfect for Harry Potter fans of all ages. The activities can be used to supplement a purchased advent calendar. Or can be used to fill your own wooden calendar.
Harry Potter Printable Activities
I tried to ensure the activities for the Harry Potter Advent Calendar are full of magical surprises. That can also be done throughout the working week so something simple and quick. While some will take more time, as they are either more complex or time-consuming. So these ones can be added to dates that fall on the weekend with something special for Christmas Eve.
