NOMA brings Harry Potter to Harrogate this year

 

NOMA, one of the UK’s most trusted names in festive lighting and seasonal décor, unveiled its latest festive collections at the Harrogate Christmas & Gift Fair, reinforcing a legacy of nearly a century of creating magical Christmas moments.

 

This highly anticipated showcase will introduce hundreds of new Christmas lights and seasonal décor pieces designed to bring warmth, wonder, and timeless charm to homes and gardens, alongside the launch of an exciting new Harry Potter™ licensed lighting and giftware range for the 2026 season, made in collaboration with Warner Bros. Discovery Global Consumer Products (WBDGCP).

 

The Harry Potter™ range features an enchanting assortment of illuminated creations inspired by beloved icons, locations, and moments from the Harry Potter films - including: one of the largest collections of Harry Potter inspired infinity lights, potion bottle lights, bunting lights, floating candles and pumpkins, magical printed canvas, festive ornaments and displays, and much more…

 

 

Combining NOMA’s century-long expertise in innovative lighting, with the storytelling power from the world of Harry Potter, the collection promises high-quality craftsmanship, magical detail, and safe, family-friendly illumination suitable for year-round display.

 

“We are thrilled to bring to market in the UK and Ireland, a range that reimagines what decorative lighting can be,” said Frank Kaminski, Category Director at NOMA. “This collection doesn’t just illuminate a room - it ignites the imagination. We are proud to offer Harry Potter fans an entirely new collection that celebrates the spirit and creativity of the wizarding world in an entirely new way.”

 

“Our design teams have poured extraordinary care, working in collaboration with WBDGCP, ensuring each product feels authentically magical while maintaining the reliability and creativity NOMA is known for,” added Kaminski. 

 

Other highlights include the Arboretum forest of Christmas trees — a stunning range of realistic, lifelike artificial trees inspired by real-world examples, Firework Trees that shimmer and sparkle in perfect synchrony, alongside vibrant Spectrum-coloured designs that add a bold, modern twist to traditional décor.

 

The Harry Potter collection will be unveiled at Harrogate Christmas & Gift (11–14 January 2026), after which it will take centre stage in a newly dedicated Harry Potter™ showroom at NOMA in Hertfordshire.

 

About the Harry Potter franchise: 

From the moment eleven-year-old Harry Potter met Rubeus Hagrid, Keeper of Keys and Grounds at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, his adventures have left an indelible mark on popular culture. Today, over 25 years later, the Harry Potter phenomenon thrives as one of the most successful and best-loved entertainment properties in history. 

J.K. Rowling’s best-selling Harry Potter novels have been brought to life in an ever-evolving, interconnected universe which is loved by millions of fans worldwide. Eight blockbuster Harry Potter films and three epic Fantastic Beasts films bring the spellbinding action to life on screen, Harry Potter and the Cursed Child mesmerizes on stage, and state-of-the-art video and mobile games from Portkey Games allow players to experience the wizarding world like never before. Fans can proudly showcase their passion through innovative consumer products, and thrill at spectacular location-based experiences - including five theme park lands at Universal Studios locations around the world. 

This expanding portfolio of Warner Bros. Discovery-owned Harry Potter and Fantastic Beasts offerings includes ground-breaking touring experiences and events, each developed to celebrate special moments and locations that fans cherish, as well as the Platform 9 3⁄4 retail shops and iconic flagship store - Harry Potter New York. Wizards, Witches and Muggles alike can also discover something new as they explore behind-the-scenes secrets at Warner Bros. Studio Tour London – The Making of Harry Potter and Warner Bros. Studio Tour Tokyo – The Making of Harry Potter. 

With a new HBO Original TV series based on the Harry Potter books on the way, this extended world continues to provide the community with fresh and exciting ways to interact. For its global fans, and for generations to come, it invites everyone in to find the magic for themselves.
