For generations of readers, Hogwarts™ has felt like more than just a castle. It's the warmth of the Gryffindor™ common room after a long winter's day. The peaceful quiet of Ravenclaw™ Tower as the stars appear above the mountains. The comforting welcome of the Hufflepuff™ common room, tucked away near the Hogwarts kitchens. The mysterious green glow beneath the Black Lake, where the Slytherin™ common room has watched over centuries of witches and wizards.
These places stay with us long after we've turned the final page. At Short Story, we wanted to capture that feeling.
Our officially licensed Harry Potter™ Home Fragrance Collection has been thoughtfully designed to celebrate each Hogwarts House through fragrance, colour and beautiful craftsmanship. Every candle, diffuser and keepsake draws inspiration from the places, moments and magic that made us fall in love with the Wizarding World.
So the question isn't simply...
Which Hogwarts House are you?
It's...
Which Hogwarts House feels most like home?
Not Sure Which Hogwarts House You Belong To?
If you've never been officially sorted, there's only one place to begin.
Before choosing your candle or diffuser, visit the official Wizarding World™ Sorting Hat Quiz to discover whether you're Gryffindor™, Hufflepuff™, Ravenclaw™ or Slytherin™.
Once you've been sorted, you can choose the collection that reflects your Hogwarts House—or perhaps the atmosphere you want to bring into your home.
Gryffindor™ – Warmth, Courage and the Heart of Hogwarts
"Where dwell the brave at heart."
Imagine climbing the moving staircases after a long day of classes.
The Fat Lady swings open her portrait, revealing the Gryffindor common room glowing with firelight. Squashy armchairs gather around the roaring fireplace while friends laugh over games of Wizard Chess. Outside, snow settles softly across the castle grounds, but inside everything feels warm, lively and wonderfully familiar.
That feeling inspired our Gryffindor™ Collection.
The fragrance of Smoked Wood & Cinnamon Fruit captures the comforting warmth of a crackling fire, blended with rich spice and sweet fruit notes that feel cosy, welcoming and full of life.
Finished with vibrant red botanicals, shimmering gold accents and a carefully selected crystal, the candle becomes as much a keepsake as it is a home fragrance.
The matching diffuser continues that story through the day, filling your home with the warmth of Gryffindor long after the candle has been extinguished.
Gryffindor™ is perfect if you love:
- Warm, cosy interiors
- Rich, comforting fragrances
- Evenings by candlelight
- Homes filled with family and friends
Hufflepuff™ – Kindness, Comfort and a Place to Belong
"Those patient Hufflepuffs are true and unafraid of toil."
Hidden near the Hogwarts kitchens, the Hufflepuff common room is unlike anywhere else in the castle.
Round doors, warm timber, cosy corners and the comforting aroma of fresh baking create a space where everyone feels welcome. It's peaceful, cheerful and wonderfully unpretentious.
That feeling became the inspiration for our Hufflepuff™ Collection.
The delicious fragrance of Toasted Butterscotch & Pecan Pie instantly brings to mind warm butterbeer, homemade treats and slow afternoons shared with good friends. It's sweet without being overwhelming. Comforting without ever feeling heavy.
Decorated with golden botanicals and a natural crystal that reflects the warmth of Hufflepuff House, it's designed to make every space feel inviting. If home had a fragrance, this might just be it.
Hufflepuff™ is perfect if you love:
- Cosy mornings
- Baking and sharing meals
- Warm, comforting fragrances
- Creating a home where everyone feels welcome
Ravenclaw™ – Wisdom, Wonder and Quiet Inspiration
"Wit beyond measure is man's greatest treasure."
High above Hogwarts, Ravenclaw Tower offers breathtaking views across the mountains, the Black Lake and the Forbidden Forest. Before entering, students must answer the bronze eagle knocker's riddle—a reminder that curiosity is every bit as important as knowledge.
It's a place of quiet reflection. Of books, ideas and endless imagination. Our Ravenclaw™ Collection was created to capture that atmosphere.
Patchouli, Incense & Amber blends rich amber with earthy patchouli and delicate incense to create a fragrance that's calm, sophisticated and quietly captivating.
Rather than demanding attention, it invites you to slow down.
To think. To imagine. To get lost in a story.
Finished with deep blue botanicals and a striking crystal, the candle celebrates the elegance and creativity that define Ravenclaw House.
Ravenclaw™ is perfect if you love:
- Reading by candlelight
- Calm, thoughtful spaces
- Rich, sophisticated fragrance
- Beautifully styled interiors
Slytherin™ – Mystery, Ambition and Timeless Elegance
"Those cunning folk use any means to achieve their ends."
Few places within Hogwarts are as atmospheric as the Slytherin common room.
Hidden beneath the Black Lake, ancient stone walls are illuminated by the soft green light filtering through the water above. It's quiet, refined and steeped in centuries of magical history.
That unforgettable setting inspired our Slytherin™ Collection.
Black Lake Pine & Leather combines crisp evergreen notes with smooth leather to create a fragrance that's layered, elegant and quietly powerful.
It's confident without needing to be loud. Sophisticated without trying too hard. Emerald botanicals and a green crystal complete the candle, celebrating the rich colours and enduring legacy of Slytherin House. It's a fragrance that lingers long after you've left the room.
Slytherin™ is perfect if you love:
- Sophisticated interiors
- Rich woody fragrance
- Timeless design
- Elegant statement pieces
More Than a Reed Diffuser
Every witch and wizard knows that some of the most fascinating magic begins with a potion.
Inspired by the potion bottles lining the shelves of Hogwarts™, each Harry Potter™ Reed Diffuser has been designed to resemble a magical potion waiting to be discovered. The coloured glass reflects the colours of its Hogwarts House, while the fragrance gently fills your home throughout the day. Then comes our favourite part.
Give the bottle a gentle swirl.
As the fragrance oils move through the coloured glass, they catch the light, creating a mesmerising shimmer that feels wonderfully magical—almost as though you've just stirred a freshly brewed potion. It's a small detail. But it's often the moment that makes people smile.
Bring the Magic Home
Whether you're proudly displaying your own Hogwarts House or choosing the perfect gift for another Harry Potter fan, each collection has been designed to capture more than a fragrance.
It captures a feeling.
The warmth of Gryffindor.
The comfort of Hufflepuff.
The quiet wisdom of Ravenclaw.
The timeless elegance of Slytherin.
These aren't simply candles and diffusers. They're little reminders of the stories that shaped our childhoods and continue to inspire us today.

Every Hogwarts House Collection has been thoughtfully designed to work together.

Complete your collection with matching bookmarks, jewellery, enamel pins and keepsakes that celebrate your Hogwarts House long after the candle has finished burning.
Whether you're treating yourself or searching for the perfect Harry Potter gift, each piece has been created to bring a little more magic into everyday life.

Light your candle. Gently swirl your potion-inspired diffuser. Pick up your favourite Harry Potter book. And, for just a little while, let your home feel a little more like Hogwarts. Because some stories never truly leave us. They simply find new ways to become part of our everyday lives.
