This Pyramid International magnetic bookmark, officially licensed by Harry Potter, is dedicated to Hogwarts and its four houses. Listed by the manufacturer as ‘Colourful Crest Hogwarts’, it features the school’s full crest in a particularly colourful design. Compact and lightweight, it attaches directly to a page thanks to its two magnetic sections and can be used in a novel, a notebook, a diary or a textbook.
The design places the large Hogwarts coat of arms at the centre of the composition. This features the Gryffindor lion, the Slytherin serpent, the Hufflepuff badger and the Ravenclaw eagle arranged around the letter ‘H’. The motto ‘Draco Dormiens Nunquam Titillandus’ also appears on the ribbon beneath the crest.
The background is divided into several sections featuring the colours of the four houses: red, green, yellow and blue. Small golden stars are scattered around the crest, whilst the Harry Potter logo appears at the bottom. This design represents Hogwarts as a whole rather than focusing on any one of its houses.
It is very simple to use: the bookmark folds around the edge of a page and its magnets snap together. The magnetic hold ensures the page remains marked even when the book is moved or carried, whilst preventing the corners of the pages from being creased. The bookmark itself measures approximately 9 x 4.5 x 0.2 cm.

Origin and lore
Hogwarts is the British school of witchcraft and wizardry at the heart of the Harry Potter universe. It was founded in the 10th century by four of the greatest wizards and witches of their time: Godric Gryffindor, Rowena Ravenclaw, Helga Hufflepuff and Salazar Slytherin. Each then created a house designed to welcome pupils possessing certain qualities that they wished to encourage.
Gryffindor particularly values courage and bravery, Ravenclaw intelligence and wit, Hufflepuff loyalty and a sense of fairness, whilst Slytherin emphasises cunning and ambition. Upon their arrival at Hogwarts, new pupils are sorted into these four houses by the Sorting Hat.
The Hogwarts crest accurately reflects this structure. Its central shield is divided into four quarters representing the four founders and their respective houses, with the letter ‘H’ placed in the centre. This combination of the four emblems allows the coat of arms to symbolise the school as a whole rather than any one house in particular.
The ‘Colourful Crest Hogwarts’ design of this bookmark directly draws on this symbolism by combining the full coat of arms with the different colours of the houses. It is therefore a particularly suitable accessory for Harry Potter fans who wish to represent Hogwarts as a whole, whilst still owning an item directly linked to reading and learning.
