niko and … Turns The Marauder’s Map Into A Glow-In-The-Dark Wall Clock For Its Second Wizarding World

Three years after its first Harry Potter drop, niko and … returns with a bigger lineup that folds in Fantastic Beasts, landing August 21.

A glow-in-the-dark wall clock with footsteps for a second hand. A fleece robe modeled on Severus Snape’s teaching robes. A trunk case, the first of its kind in the brand’s collaboration history, lined with an original patchwork print and finished with a Hedwig patch. These are the kinds of objects niko and … has built its second Harry Potter collaboration around, and on August 21, they arrive in stores and online alongside a lineup that, for the first time, folds in Fantastic Beasts too.

Adastria‘s style editorial brand niko and … first partnered with Warner Bros. Consumer Products on a Harry Potter collaboration back in August 2023, a two part rollout of interior goods and stationery built around Hogwarts iconography, from a Marauder’s Map blanket to a Dobby phone stand. That first run leaned toward small, giftable objects. This second collaboration, arriving under a new partnership with Warner Bros. Discovery Global Consumer Products, is built on a bigger occasion: the 25th anniversary of the release of Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone, the film that opened the franchise in cinemas a quarter century ago.

The timing gives niko and … a reason to go further than its first pass at the license. Where the 2023 collection stayed mostly in home goods and stationery, from a Marauder’s Map patterned blanket to a Hogwarts crest trunk box, this one stretches into apparel, accessories, and a wider mix of gift items, while keeping the pastel, illustrative sensibility that separates niko and …’s licensed collaborations from more straightforward merchandise drops. The first collection also rolled out in two separate waves, with a second batch of blankets and folding umbrellas following about three weeks after the initial launch. This time, niko and … is consolidating everything into one release date, backed by a longer preview window for shoppers to browse before anything goes on sale.

Harry Potter isn’t the only license niko and … has leaned on this year, either. The brand has run collides tied to a Super Mario Galaxy movie tie-in, a 60th anniversary Ultraman collection, and a Tom and Jerry line built around archival artwork, all within the first eight months of 2026 alone. Against that backdrop, a second Harry Potter union reads less like a one-off marketing swing and more like a recurring slot in niko and …’s release calendar, one the brand has now revisited enough times to treat as a proven format rather than an experiment.

The addition of Fantastic Beasts is the clearest sign of how much wider this second converge is meant to feel. The 2023 collection stayed entirely within the original Harry Potter film series. This time, Newt Scamander’s world of magical creatures gets folded directly into the product design, most visibly in an apron that pairs a lenticular Harry Potter print, one whose central image shifts depending on the viewing angle, with a Fantastic Beasts side modeled on Newt’s coat, detailed enough to work in a Niffler and a Pickett bowtruckle into the print.

It’s a small design choice, but it reflects how Warner Bros. has been managing the broader Wizarding World license lately, treating Harry Potter and Fantastic Beasts less as two separate franchises and more as one connected universe of magical creatures, houses, and objects that a brand like niko and … can draw from freely. The overall collection leans on two recurring motifs across both franchises: the Black family tree, referenced in a handful of pattern designs, and magical creatures more broadly, which show up throughout the lineup from Niffler figures to Hedwig detailing.

The Wizarding World franchise niko and … is drawing from has grown considerable since the first Harry Potter film opened in cinemas. Beyond the eight core Harry Potter films and three Fantastic Beasts entries, the property now spans a stage sequel in Harry Potter and the Cursed Child, full cast audiobooks, the Portkey Games line of video and mobile titles, and location based experiences that include Universal Studios theme park lands in six countries and dedicated Harry Potter retail shops in London, New York, Chicago, and Tokyo’s Akasaka and Harajuku districts. Warner Bros. Studio Tour attractions in both London and Tokyo let visitors walk through original film sets and props, and an HBO scripted series adapting the books is currently in development, all of which niko and …’s collaboration is positioned to plug into as a wearable, giftable extension of that wider world rather than a standalone product drop.

The partner sits under Warner Bros. Discovery Global Consumer Products, the licensing arm responsible for translating WBD’s entertainment property, which range from DC and the Wizarding World to Looney Tunes, the Hanna-Barbera library including Tom and Jerry, and HBO and Cartoon Network titles, into physical goods across toys, fashion, home, and publishing categories worldwide.

The wall clock is the collection’s most detailed single piece. Its face is built around the Marauder’s Map, with a footprint acting as the second hand, tracing a path across the map’s surface, and when the lights go off, the printed footsteps glow. It’s priced at 3,960 yen.

The fleece robe takes the opposite approach, going for atmosphere over gadgetry. Modeled on Severus Snape’s teaching robes, it’s designed as loungewear, something meant to make an evening at home feel a little more like Hogwarts, and it’s priced at 11,000 yen in a free size, with availability limited to select stores.

Apparel makes up a bigger share of this collection than the first one did. An assorted knit cardigan comes in four colorways, yellow, red, green, and blue, each tied to one of Hogwarts’ four houses, Gryffindor, Ravenclaw, Slytherin, and Hufflepuff, and priced at 8,000 yen in a free size. A companion pullover sweater uses gradient dyeing and lenticular printing across four colorways, ivory, brown, grey, and charcoal, in M and L sizes, priced at 7,000 yen. A two pack of socks, priced at 2,200 yen, carries the same house color and crest logic in a smaller, easier entry point, available in off white with beige or a multicolor and blue pairing.

Smaller accessory round out the lineup. A blind lenticular keyholder, priced at 880 yen, ships in one of seven possible designs, including a secret pattern that buyers won’t know they’ve received until they open it, a format niko and … has used in past union to build in some of the same surprise factor as a blind box collectible. The apron with its Harry Potter and Fantastic Beasts double sided print, priced at 3,300 yen, comes in white or blue colorways and is presented as one of the collection’s more everyday, functional pieces rather than a display item, aimed at shoppers who want a Wizarding World touch in the kitchen rather than on a shelf.

Compared with the 2023 collection, which centered on interior goods like blankets, umbrellas, and small trinket boxes, this lineup shifts noticeable toward things people wear. The house sorted cardigans and pullover in particular give the collection a wardrobe anchor it didn’t really have the first time around, something closer to what niko and … has done with past character collaborations than the more gift shop feel of its first Harry Potter run.

The trunk case is the collection’s centerpiece and, according to niko and …, the first trunk case the brand has produced for any collide. Priced at 24,200 yen, it’s lined inside with an original patchwork print exclusive to this release and finished with a Hedwig patch on the exterior, a nod to the trunks students haul onto the Hogwarts Express at the start of every school year. At more than double the price of the next most expensive item in the lineup, it functions as the collection’s flagship object, the kind of piece a collaboration like this is usually built around and photo for, even if most shoppers end up walking out with a cardigan or a keyholder instead.

Tied to the rel, niko and … is running a giveaway through its official X account, open to entrants who repost a designated campaign post between August 21 and September 4. Ten winners will be selected across two prize sets: a “wizarding world tea time” bundle of a mug, plate, and apron, and a “Hogwarts holiday” bundle of the fleece robe and a pair of M sized slippers, both paired with tickets to Warner Bros. Studio Tour Tokyo, the Making of Harry Potter, good for up to two people per winning entry. Pairing the giveaway with studio tour tickets rather than just merchandise ties the collaboration back to the same location based experience the wider franchise blurb leans on, giving the campaign a physical, in-person payoff beyond the products themselves.

A preview window opens first: product pages go live on niko and …’s official web store, and ST, from August 12 through August 16, letting shoppers browse the full lineup before anything goes on sale. The main release follows on August 21 at 10 a.m., with items releasing in sequence rather than all at once, and niko and … has noted that production constraints could shift individual release dates.

The collection will be available across niko and …’s full domestic and international store network, plus and ST’s Yume Mall Saijo and LaLaport Anjo locations, the official and ST web store, ZOZOTOWN, and Rakuten Fashion, with the caveat that release timing can vary store to store. It’s a wider retail footprint than the 2023 run, which launched primarily through niko and …’s own stores and a handful of overseas locations in Hong Kong, Taiwan, mainland China, and Thailand, and it puts this collaboration on shelves alongside niko and …’s regular seasonal apparel rather than treating it as a separate, roped off event.

For a brand whose identity leans heavily on soft, editorial styling rather than loud logos, the Harry Potter and Fantastic Beasts license is a reasonably natural fit, close enough to niko and …’s own illustrative aesthetic that the collaboration reads as an extension of the brand’s regular output rather than a departure from it. The brand describes its overall approach around nine lifestyle categories it calls “uni9ue senses,” spanning clothing, food, living, play, knowledge, health, travel, music, and local culture, and a license like this one lets a handful of those categories, apparel, home goods, and gifting among them, get filtered through one recognizable story at once rather than needing nine separate campaigns to make the same point.
