Free Printable Hogwarts Acceptance Letter Envelope

These floating wizard school acceptance letters pay homage to the scene in the first book where they are trying to get Harry his acceptance letter to Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. If you haven’t read the books yet, I won’t completely spoil the plot (I obviously recommend reading them!), but it’s a fun and lighthearted scene where letters fly out of the chimney. That was how I tried to style this vignette!

Fun Halloween Themes for Kids

My broom isn’t a Firebolt, but it’s still a pretty good one. You can buy replicas of the brooms from the movies, but we are sticking to budget-friendly ideas here.

Hedwig also technically isn’t in the books yet during this particular scene, but I couldn’t resist including her in some way. She’s my favorite character!

How to Create Floating Hogwarts Envelopes

I printed the letters onto cardstock and then hot glued and taped the front and backs together with a piece of fishing wire between. They actually look a little less like they are floating in these photos than in real life- in real life, you can’t see the wire as easily!

Our enchanting Hogwarts envelope printable sets the scene, but we’ve left the letter part up to you. Think of it as your personal touch to the magic! If you’re looking to craft a letter that’s just as spellbinding, there are plenty of cool ideas and templates available online. It’s your chance to get creative and write a Hogwarts acceptance letter that’s as unique as you are. Perfect for party invitations or just for fun, these letters can add that extra spark of magic to your wizarding adventure.

Want to make your Hogwarts envelopes look like they’ve flown straight out of the Harry Potter books? It’s easy and fun! Give them a vintage, well-traveled look by staining them with a bit of tea or coffee. It’s a simple trick that adds loads of character. And for an extra dash of wizardry, why not seal them with wax? Melting some wax and pressing in a cool seal – maybe your initial or a magical symbol – will make your envelopes absolutely spellbinding. These little touches are super fun to do and make your magical mail look like it’s just arrived from Hogwarts!

I found the font here, and you can actually make the letters using a slightly different method using their instructions.
