Harry Potter Mugs
A mug is the Harry Potter gift that actually gets used every morning. Here you will find heat-changing mugs that reveal the Marauder’s Map or an Expecto Patronum stag when hot liquid goes in, 3D cauldron mugs, house crests and character designs. For every mug we state the capacity, the material and whether it is suitable for the dishwasher and the microwave.

Types of mug in the collection
Standard capacity across most of the range is 315 to 460 ml. Shaped and 3D mugs vary more, so the capacity is always listed on the product page rather than assumed.
- Heat-changing mugs — the design appears when hot liquid is poured in. The Marauder’s Map, Expecto Patronum and Divination designs work this way.
- 3D and shaped mugs — the Hogwarts cauldron and the Polyjuice Potion cauldron, moulded rather than printed.
- Self-stirring mugs — a motorised base stirs the drink for you.
- House crest mugs — Gryffindor, Slytherin, Ravenclaw and Hufflepuff.
- Character mugs — Dobby, Hedwig, Luna Lovegood and others.
- Sweet tins and storage jars — including a chocolate frog tin that matches the mug range.
Heat-changing mugs and the dishwasher
The thermal coating on a heat-changing mug is the part that wears. We recommend washing these by hand in lukewarm water and avoiding the dishwasher and the microwave, even where the manufacturer permits them — it is the single thing that most extends the life of the effect.
Choosing a mug as a gift
A mug is the safest Harry Potter gift for someone whose taste you do not know in detail, because it is used rather than displayed. The house crest version is the obvious choice when you know the recipient’s house; a heat-changing mug is the one that gets a reaction when it is first used.
- For a known house — a crest mug in the house colours.
- For a surprise — a heat-changing mug, where the design only appears in use.
- For a collector — a 3D cauldron mug, which stands as an object in its own right.
- As part of a larger gift — a mug with tea or hot chocolate in a collector tin.
Care and materials
Most mugs are glazed ceramic. Where a mug is suitable for the dishwasher and the microwave, the product page says so; where it is not — heat-changing coatings, metallic decoration and electronic self-stirring bases — it says that instead. Avoid sudden temperature changes, which crack ceramic regardless of the design.

Frequently asked questions
How does a heat-changing mug work?
A thermochromic coating over the print becomes transparent when it warms up, so the design underneath appears once hot liquid is poured in and fades again as the mug cools.
Can a heat-changing mug go in the dishwasher?
We recommend hand washing in lukewarm water and avoiding the dishwasher and the microwave. The thermal coating is what wears first.
What capacity are the mugs?
Most hold between 315 and 460 ml. The exact capacity is stated on each product page, because shaped and 3D mugs vary.
Which mugs are dishwasher safe?
Plain printed and glazed ceramic mugs usually are. The product page states it for each mug individually.
What is a self-stirring mug?
A mug with a motorised base that stirs the drink at the press of a button. It takes batteries, which are listed on the product page.
Do you have mugs for all four Hogwarts houses?
Yes, the crest mugs cover Gryffindor, Slytherin, Ravenclaw and Hufflepuff.
