Harry Potter™ Wallpaper: The Complete Guide
Last updated: 12 August 2026
Official Harry Potter™ wallpaper is one of the most searched-for wall designs in Australia — and one of the most misunderstood. This guide covers the four official designs we stock, which rooms they suit, how the rolls work, and honest answers to the questions we get every week.
The four official designs
The Black Family Tapestry — the famous family tree from Grimmauld Place, in rich faded golds and greens. Our most-loved design. It reads as a genuinely beautiful heritage print first and a fan piece second, which is why it works in living rooms and studies, not just themed bedrooms.
The Marauder's Map — inky footprints, secret passages and staircases in aged parchment tones. Brilliant in bedrooms, teen retreats and hallways ("I solemnly swear I am up to no good" energy included at no extra charge).
The Hogwarts Library — floor-to-ceiling shelves of ancient spellbooks. The clever one for home offices and reading corners: on video calls it just looks like a magnificent bookshelf.
The Daily Prophet — a monochrome collage of wizarding newsprint. The most understated of the four, and the easiest to pair with existing furniture.
Which room?
- Kids' bedrooms: Marauder's Map or the Tapestry behind the bed. One feature wall is plenty — let the design be the hero.
- Teen rooms: Daily Prophet or Marauder's Map. Both age well past the fan phase.
- Home theatres & media rooms: the Tapestry's deep tones absorb light beautifully — a proper cinema feel.
- Studies & libraries: Hogwarts Library, obviously. It never gets old.
How the murals work
These come as standard rolls — 10 m long by 0.5 m wide, in premium non-woven 147 gsm, hung paste-the-wall. Measure your wall width and height (twice!), work out how many drops you need with our roll calculator, then follow our wallpaper hanging guide. Most walls take an afternoon.
Honest answers to common questions
Is it really official? Yes — every design in our Harry Potter™ collection is an official licensed product. Here's how to tell a licensed design from a fan print, and what "officially licensed" actually means.
Is it peel and stick? No — these are paste-the-wall murals. On Australian plasterboard that's the better system for a large mural: stronger hold, no lifting corners, and still clean to remove when the fan grows up. Here's how paste-the-wall works.
Can I do just part of a wall? Yes — alcoves, stair walls and half-walls are all fine; you simply need fewer drops. Email us the measurements if you're unsure.
What about rentals? Paste-the-wall paper removes cleanly from sound painted walls, but always check with your landlord first — or see our renters' guide.
