26 baby names to cast a spell over Harry Potter fans

Keeley Ryan

It was one of our greatest loves when we were younger.

And we still can’t believe that it’s been over a decade since the last Harry Potter book hit shelves.

However, even now, the Boy Who Lived, Ron Weasley and Hermione Granger still continue to cast a spell over fans across the globe.

And while we’ve seen plenty of spell-binding Harry Potter-inspired home goods over the years, there’s another area in life where the Golden Trio have had a huge influence.

It turns out that the magical world created by J.K. Rowling is chock-a-block with stunning baby name inspiration.

Don’t believe us? It’s true.

In fact, the characters in the series have some really beautiful and also often unique names — often names you have never even heard before.

And while some of them are a little more unusual than others, we reckon that these would make a lovely name for any impending new arrivals.

So, if you’re looking for a moniker with a bit of magic, look no further…
