Le Creuset Launches Harry Potter Collection
It seems like the wizarding world of Harry Potter knows no boundaries. A Dark Mark in a casserole dish? Yes please
It’s no secret that we adore Le Creuset for their gorgeous, durable cookware – and we’re head over heels for their Harry Potter collection, featuring iconic symbols that Potter fans would recognise in a heartbeat. The only thing these dishes can’t do is fill up magically with food, but they’re so beautiful that you’d want to get hands-on with them anyway.
We’ve listed our favourites below – not every one of the items is available in Singapore at the moment, but you can check the Le Creuset website or Williams Sonoma for more details.
If each of the iconic stores in the book had their own logoed mugs, these would be it. Each of the four mugs in this set showcases a name that holds a special place in the hearts of Potter fans: Ollivander’s, Gringotts Bank, The Three Broomsticks, and Weasley’s Wizarding Wheezes. Can you spot which is which?
Make cooking extra fun with these spatulas, each featuring a handle like a gnarled wand. They aren’t any old wands, either – these are specifically inspired by the wands of Harry, Ron, Hermione, and Dumbledore. Have fun brandishing them at each other.
Potterheads would recognise this symbol anywhere. And now you can have this hallowed symbol (pun fully intended) as, well, your spoon rest while cooking. Le Creuset has cleverly incorporated grooved sides into the design to stop your spoons and spatulas from sliding, while the body is made of high-fired stoneware.
No collection would be complete without a piece dedicated to Harry Potter himself. Here, his lightning scar forms the lid handle of this round Dutch oven – pretty clever, isn’t it? There’s a joke in here somewhere about his scar getting hot, but let’s not go there.
Similar to the Harry Potter Dutch oven, the lid handle is one of the most iconic symbols in the books – the golden Snitch, sitting atop a lid embossed with the three Quidditch goal rings. We guarantee that every time you grab hold of this you’ll feel the urge to raise it triumphantly in the air, but be careful of the steam.
What do a train and tea kettle have in common? They both whistle. This particular tea kettle has a golden, single-note whistling spout for that purpose, and the number 9 3/4 on its lid handle. We love the subtle elegance – and it’s sure to be a conversation starter with guests.
Just like the Great Hall banner, but draped around your pot. Made of blue terrycloth and cotton canvas, with a quilted lining for insulation, this potholder comes in handy when carrying hot dishes from the kitchen to the dining table.
Possibly one of our favourites – who doesn’t like an evil casserole? – this casserole dish features a sleek matte black glaze and the Dark Mark embossed into the bottom in beautiful detail. It’s oven- and broiler-safe to 260 degrees Celsius (500 Fahrenheit), microwavable and freezer-safe. An essential piece of cookware every Death Eater should have in their home.
The Harry Potter collection is available for purchase or pre-order from Takashimaya. For more information, please visit www.lecreuset.com.sg.
