All About Harry Potter Pocket Watches

Harry Potter is the well known protagonist in a series of children's novels. These novels were, and still are, written by a woman named J.K. Rowling. Rowling used to be a starving single mother, and would sit in a cafe while jotting down what would become the first Harry Potter book. Although Rowling experienced a bit of trouble initially, once Harry Potter was published, it achieved phenomenon success. Other books followed, and currently, Rowling is working on the last book in the series.

If you're seeking a special gift for a woman in your life, or a striking addition to your own collection, you may wish to consider Hampden ladies pocket watches.

Harry Potter books focus on the protagonist, of course, who is a student at the Hogwarts School of Wizardry. Harry and his friends, Ron Beasley and Hermione, encounter all sorts of adventures and magical situations in these books. Through the series, which comprises several books that are quite lengthly, readers have grown up with these characters and perhaps experienced some of the same coming of age issues. Rowling's penchant for mystery, drama and fun makes these books appealing to adults as well. This series of books has become so popular with children and adults alike that there are movies, clothes, collectibles, games, and even pocket watches created based on these books. The Harry Potter empire is booming, and both grownups and kids clamor for these wizardly collectibles.

Harry Potter pocket watches are pursued by two groups of collectors: those who are fans of Harry Potter, and those who collect pocket watches. These watches make perfect gifts for the child in your family that enjoys Harry Potter. These watches don't always come cheap, though. While they were offered in retail stores by Warner Brothers for the price of $30, they are now being featured on online auction sites and specialty sites for prices in the hundreds. One good place to look for these timepieces is Ebay, where you can sometimes find them at much lower prices than you would at a specialty shop.

** Pocket Watch Tip ** Jewelry Stores: Jewelry stores are probably the most likely place to find a La Fidele pocket watch. Most of the time, if the store doesn't have the watch in stock, they can order it for you. Though a jewelry store will probably be the most expensive option, it is often also the most convenient one, especially if you're seeking a brand new pocket watch. The jewelry store can engrave your pocket watch, often free of charge, with any message you would like.

Typical features of these watches include precision quartz movement, an antique looking case in a bronze tone, raised gold toned hour indicators, an engraving of Hogwarts on the case, and a picture of Harry on the face. You'll see that these are quality timepieces that any collector would love to recieve!
