Harry Potter Fan Creates Pensieve Of Happy Memories For Wife

Get ready to go ‘awww!’ If you are a Potterhead looking to surprise your significant other, you may want to take notes from one very special fan. A Reddit user named DuffManSzALotAThings gifted his wife a Pensieve full of happy memories as a wedding gift and promptly stole the Internet’s heart.

The user created a hand-made Pensieve from the Harry Potter series. The project features beautifully crafted calligraphy, a mahogany wand, and the most adorable pottery bowl you’ll ever see. The Reddit user made a ceramic bowl and engraved the couple’s initials into it before filling the basin will glass vials. Each container held a slip of paper with images of the the couple’s happiest (and most hilarious) memories. The vials were all fitted with magnets that attached to the wand which the user gifted his wife. As such, she’s able to simple use her wand to accio memories from the Pensieve at will.

And, what’s more, the user even made a box of empty vials and colored paper to create future memories. If that isn’t considered romantic, then what ever could be?

It’s no surprise to see the Internet’s awed reaction to the gift. After all, the generation of readers who grew up with the Harry Potter novels are getting older and heading for the aisle. The world will become increasingly used to this kind of magical wedding gift, and netizens have already gotten their first taste with this sentimental Pensieve.

If you’re not familiar with the Harry Potter franchise and wondering what the heck a Pensieve is, the explanation is simple. The magical item made its debut in Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire. A Pensieve is a spelled item which can contain a person’s memories to store them indefinitely for review. Harry Potter uses the item to look through Dumbledore’s memories of Barty Crouch Jr. and even Lord Voldemort. But, for this clever Reddit user, he turned the powerful object into one that celebrates love.

Years from now, Harry Potter fans will soon be able to source wedding gift ideas from the franchise’s spin-off, Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them. The new series is slated to debut later this November and will now span a total of five films. So, who knows? Brides- or Grooms-To-Be may one day make paper-mâché dragons or order beastly engagement rings for their lovers.

Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them is an all-new adventure returning us to the wizarding world created by J.K. Rowling. Academy Award winner Eddie Redmayne (The Theory of Everything) stars in the central role of wizarding world magizoologist Newt Scamander, under the direction of David Yates, who helmed the last four Harry Potter blockbusters. Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them opens in 1926 as Newt Scamander has just completed a global excursion to find and document an extraordinary array of magical creatures. Arriving in New York for a brief stopover, he might have come and gone without incident…were it not for a No-Maj (American for Muggle) named Jacob, a misplaced magical case, and the escape of some of Newt’s fantastic beasts, which could spell trouble for both the wizarding and No-Maj worlds.

Fantastic Beasts and Where To Find Them hits theaters on November 18.
