DIY Harry Potter Spellbook + Printable

Aug 18, 2016

Updated 1/30/24: I almost pulled all of my Harry Potter content from my site.
After a lot of deliberation, I decided to continue to share it with my readers + crafting community but with this note:

I vehemently disagree with the comments made by J.K. Rowling. Trans women are women. Trans men are men. Their identities are valid and any attempts to erase their existence is harmful, wrong, and disgusting.

I stand beside the LGBTQIA+ community and find it important to support and respect the Queer Community, including those who have found any level of joy, solace, or identification in the Harry Potter series. As an Ally, learning is an ongoing experience. For those of you interested in educating yourselves on how you can support the Trans and Nonbinary communities, there’s a great guide from The Trevor Project (a nonprofit organization that focuses on suicide prevention efforts in the LGBTQIA+ community): Guide to Being an Ally to Transgender and Nonbinary Young People.

I will not tolerate discriminatory or hateful speech in any form. You don’t have to understand someone to respect them. They know who they are more than we ever will.
Spread love, spread joy, and keep making beautiful things. -KatyM.


Bennett and I really wanted to give all of our Harry Potter birthday guests their very own spell book.  But while I was searching online for my “perfect” download from other bloggers…I just couldn’t find exactly what I was after.  Guess what I did?  I made my own!  (And then turned it into an easy pdf so you can make your own too!)

**updated 1/30/24, two spelling errors were fixed per multiple requests. File ending in “updated2024” is the most current.

It’s six pages long.  And I’ve made it to have the easiest assembly!  All you need to do is print, cut, glue, and staple.  That’s easy enough, right?

CUT the four edges along the dotted line of each page.

FOLD along the center dotted line.

GLUE along the two short edges, just to help keep your pages together.

STACK your pages in order.

STAPLE or STITCH down the center line, going through all of your pages.

CAST all the spells you can.  Because you now have a complete book!

We took it one step further and added a vegan leather cover.  Obviously most people don’t own a machine to engrave the leather.  But a simple cut of vinyl/leather makes this book even that much sweeter.

I hope you and your kiddos LOVE this book as much as we do!  There are so many spells that we didn’t know and we have a ton of fun shouting them at each other, while having battles with our wands.  #nerdalert

          • Katy M.

            Nope. Sorry! This is all I made. It’s several years old and was a birthday party favor. I don’t have the original file any longer and don’t plan on any updates. 🙂

        I have a C02 laser that I used to engrave the design myself at home. It’s not something i sell — I’m not sure if you can find it otherwise. It’s just something we made for the party use. 🙂

        Honestly, I don’t know. I’d just google HP fonts and see if there are any available for free. I created this in 2016 for a birthday party and put it up here for fun.

      Hi there. So glad you could use it for something fun! I created this several years ago for a birthday party and haven’t had a need to make anything beyond it. So sadly I don’t have anything else to send your way. Sorry!

    It won’t open in word or print off as it says read only on there. Can anyone help please?

    Reply
    • Katy McKinley

      That’s because it’s a pdf. You need to open it with adobe reader or something that reads PDFs.

    This is amazing, but the first spell says “Accacio” instead of “Accio.” And “Prior Incantato” instead of “Priori Incantatem.” I haven’t checked all the spells, but my Potterhead kid would dismiss the entire book for those errors. It’s too bad, because you did a beautiful job otherwise.

      Ha, well. We are a little more advance in our house, I guess. That….or four years ago when I created this, I just went and found all of the spells I could and made a book from them for fun.

    • Katy M.

      It doesn’t have to be underlined to be hyperlinked. I tried it from my phone and computer and it still works — and it gets hundreds of downloads a day. I’m not sure how to help. Maybe try from another device?
