The first thing that catches the eye when you enter the room is the Hogwarts Express that runs along the top of the walls, complete with a signpost that points to Hogsmeade, Diagon Alley, and Hogwarts. The train is made out of a roll of black duct tape that Leah got for just £4, which she then painted with detail to bring it to life. She also used some old railway sleepers and metal brackets to create the engine and carriages, making it look like the train is emerging from a tunnel in one corner of the room.
But the fun doesn't stop there! The bathroom sink is now a potion-making station, complete with jars of "ingredients" like bat wings, newt eyes, and spider legs, all created using plastic toys and painted with craft paint. The mirror above the sink has been transformed into the Mirror of Erised, with a decorative gold frame and the words "Erised stra ehru oyt ube cafru oyt on wohsi" (I show not your face but your heart's desire) etched into the glass. The illusion is completed with a handmade wooden frame that was painted and stained to give it an antique look. It's the perfect touch to add a little bit of magic to your daily beauty routine.
The rest of the bathroom features numerous nods to the Harry Potter universe, including a Hogwarts crest towel hook, a framed Marauder's Map in the toilet area, a shower curtain with the Hogwarts emblem, and a sorting hat soap dispenser mounted on the wall. Leah also created a wall-mounted wand display using wooden dowels, leather straps, and hot glue, which is perfect for any Harry Potter fan who needs to brush up on their spells.
Overall, Leah spent just £64 on all the materials for the bathroom transformation, proving that you don't need to have a huge budget to add some magic to your home. All you need is a little bit of creativity, some basic DIY skills, and a whole lot of love for the world of Harry Potter.
So, if you're a fan of the boy wizard, why not take some inspiration from Leah's amazing bathroom and create your own Harry Potter paradise? Whether it's a tiny powder room or a larger family bathroom, there are plenty of ways to bring a little bit of Hogwarts magic into your home. Who knows? You might even impress Dumbledore himself!
