Harry Potter Bookmarks
A metal bookmark is the one Harry Potter item that belongs inside a Harry Potter book. The Golden Snitch, the Deathly Hallows, Hedwig, Dobby, Hermione, Dumbledore and Harry, all from The Carat Shop in metal rather than card.

Why metal rather than card
A card bookmark creases, absorbs damp and eventually goes soft at the corners. A metal one does not, which is the whole reason this category exists in metal only. It also sits flat enough not to split a paperback spine, and the decorative end stands above the page edge so you can find your place at a glance.
The trade-off is weight: a metal bookmark in a thin paperback is noticeable, and it should not be left in a book stored under pressure for years. For a hardback or an illustrated edition it is the right choice.
The designs
- The Golden Snitch — the most popular, in gold tone with the wings as the decorative end.
- The Deathly Hallows — the symbol in metal.
- Hedwig — the snowy owl.
- Dobby — the free house-elf.
- Harry, Hermione and Dumbledore — character designs.
As a small gift
A bookmark is the gift to pair with a book, which makes it the natural companion to the illustrated editions and the obvious thing to add when you are already buying one. It is also the safest small gift for an adult reader who does not want merchandise on display: it lives inside the book rather than on a shelf. Metal bookmarks have small parts and are not suitable for children under three.
