September 01 is around the corner, which only means one thing for Harry Potter fans around the world: The start of a new Hogwarts term. So, gather your belongings for the new term as we get ready to pack for Hogwarts. As you are readying yourself for a new Hogwarts term, here are some of the things you need to buy for the new term:

  1. Wand
  2. A History of Magic by Bathilda Bagshot
  3. One Thousand Magical Herbs and Fungi by Phyllida Spore
  4. Pets

Some of these items could indicate the Harry Potter character who might be your spiritual twin. As the day of a new Hogwarts term approaches, let us look at the magical artifact you personally chose.


The magical item you chose shows which Harry Potter character you are like:

Here are the Harry Potter characters you probably like if you chose one of the magical items mentioned above:

You are like Harry if you chose a wand

The wand is the one defining magical artifact in the wizarding world of Harry Potter. But purchasing the wand is not easy because Garrick Ollivander, the shop owner of the wand shop Ollivanders, said that a wand would choose you rather than you choosing it.

Throughout the seven books, Harry came out on top just with the help of his wand and more importantly magial skills. He even survived Voldemort's murder attempt in the last task of the Triwizard Tournament. Thus, selecting the wand means that you are looking for the instrument that would help you reach your full potential, just like Harry.

You are like Neville Longbottom if you chose One Thousand Magical Herbs and Fungi

Neville is one of the most surprising heroes in the entire Potter series, as he starts off as what the Hogwarts teachers consider a subpar student. The only exception being Pomona Sprout, the Herbology Professor. Despite his academic problems, Neville never quit Hogwarts and graduated from the wizarding school and even became the decisive factor in defeating Voldemort. As an adult, Neville went on to be the Professor of Herbology.

Choosing the herbology book suggests that you love nature and are firmly rooted in your convictions like a tree.

You are like Hagrid if you chose pets

Hagrid is the beating heart of Hogwarts throughout the entire series. The Hogwarts gamekeeper rescues Harry from the Dursleys and exposes The Boy Who Lived to the wizarding world. But the most adorable aspect about the gentle giant is that he loves animals.

This is the quality that made Hagrid suitable for the Care of Magical Creatures teaching position in the third book. Hagrid is the spirit animal for all Potterheads who are animal lovers.

You are like Hermione Granger if you chose A History of Magic

Regardless of the subject, Hermione Granger is the brains of the group. In fact, she is regarded as the smartest student during all seven years of her tenure at Hogwarts. She is the only student in Harry's batch to have read A History of Magic. However, History of Magic is not the only subject she excels at. Except for her Defence Against the Dark Arts OWL, Hermione is the textbook definition of an overachiever.

Thus, if your eyes narrowed at A History of Magic, then you are booksmart like Hermione.
