Inspired by Privet Drive

For those looking to lend a little magic to their home or driveway, why not look to the tale of the most famous wizard for a little inspiration?

If you have ever been lucky enough to visit theWarner Brother Studios Harry Potter set, which was undeniably incredible, you will find yourself mesmerised by the styles of lighting used. With each replica of the movie sets, from Snape’s potions room to the Weasley’s Burrow, one can clearly see that the addition of lighting fixtures can really add impact and authenticity to a room or scene. 

You cannot help but notice the similarities between some of our most popular designs and those now installed around some the story’s most iconic buildings. Number Four Privet Drive features a regal, Victorian looking lamp post set much like our own.  It is almost impossible to miss this stunning and solitary piece of lamppost standing guard outside the Dursley’s home.  

Similarly, the use of hanging chain lanterns in the window of Olivander’s dusty yet effortlessly enchanting wand shop, an inspired way to lend a sense of drama and ambience to the otherwise dimly lit set.

The magnificent Diagon Alley set is home to a number of atmospheric lanterns, one of which is wonderfully reminiscent of our copper hexagon wall lights, each one beautifully mounted onto an equally antiquated wall bracket, perfectly illuminating every shop from Flourish & Blotts to Weasley’s Wizarding Wheezes.

The wooden bridge, also known as the covered bridge that was so famously obliterated in the final film (spoiler alert), now stands proudly at the centre of the exhibition, with the beautiful addition of Victorian style pendant lights, all suspended perfectly by matching chain, enhancing the warped nature of the old yet beautiful bridge. 

Situated in London’s Heathrow Airport, Terminal 5, The Harry Potter Shop is a small slice of magical heaven dedicated to providing us muggles with all the curios and oddities seen throughout the Harry Potter film franchise. The store is so much more than just a shop, it’s a beautifully styled gateway into a world filled with enchantment, detail and curiosity. This is why we were thrilled to see one of our very own 2.7m Victorian lamp posts fitted inside one of the store’s entryways. Granted a rustic effect finish and placed beside a traditional Royal Red telephone box, this lamp post adds a real sense of intrigue and authenticity to the shop.

As seen here in this video, when illuminated, this lamp post looks completely beautiful and really helps to set the magical tone of the shop.

So fellow muggles, we are as delighted as ever to offer you a unique way to help bewitch your visitors with truly magical lighting. Always.
