Harry Potter Candles
Scented candles with a full specification rather than a vague promise. Hogwarts house candles each with their own scent profile, Lumos, Platform 9¾, Hedwig and a metal Golden Snitch candle that opens on its wings. For every candle we state the fill weight, the burn time, the wax type, the wick and the scent notes.

House candles and their scents
The four house candles are the heart of the range, and each has a scent built around the character of the house rather than just its colour. They come as barrel jars and in larger formats.
- Gryffindor — fresh and spiced: apple, lemon and blackcurrant over pomegranate, clove, rose and cinnamon, finishing on vetiver, vanilla, honey and moss.
- Slytherin, Ravenclaw and Hufflepuff — each with its own profile, listed in full on the product page.
- Lumos — the wand-lighting charm, as the brightest scent in the range.
- Platform 9¾ and Hedwig — for the places and characters rather than a house.
- Glasses and lightning bolt — black glass, the most neutral of the range and the one that suits any interior.
- The Golden Snitch — in a gold metal container whose winged lid opens, and which stays as a collector piece after the candle is gone.
What the specification means
Burn time is the figure that actually matters and the one most sellers leave out. Ours run from about 15 hours for the smallest metal Snitch up to 30 hours for the larger jars, and we state it alongside the fill weight so you can compare properly — a heavier candle is not automatically a longer-burning one, because the wax type and the wick change the rate.
The waxes are refined paraffin and rapeseed blends, or noble paraffin in the premium pieces, with cotton wicks throughout. All of that is on every product page.
Burning a candle properly
Trim the wick to 5 mm before every lighting. An untrimmed wick produces soot, smokes and tunnels the wax down the middle instead of burning the full width.
Stand the candle on a heat-resistant surface, do not burn it for more than four hours at a time, and never leave it burning unattended or near anything flammable. Keep candles out of reach of children and pets. Metal containers get hot in use, so move them only once they have cooled.

Frequently asked questions
How long do the candles burn?
From about 15 hours for the smallest metal Snitch candle up to 30 hours for the larger jars. The burn time is stated on every product page.
Why should I trim the wick?
An untrimmed wick soots, smokes and tunnels the wax down the middle. Trim it to 5 mm before every lighting and the candle burns its full width.
What wax are the candles made from?
Blends of refined paraffin and rapeseed wax, or noble paraffin in the premium pieces. The wicks are cotton.
Do you have a candle for each Hogwarts house?
Yes, and each has its own scent profile rather than just its house colour.
Does the Golden Snitch container stay after the candle?
Yes. It is gold-finished metal with a winged lid that opens, and it remains as a collector piece.
How long can a candle burn at a time?
No more than four hours, on a heat-resistant surface and never unattended.
