Harry Potter Glasses: Shop Hogwarts House-Inspired Frames

Let’s face it, who doesn’t love a fantastic literary character? We all have our favorites and love them for different reasons. We at Zenni obviously have a special place in our hearts for those special characters who also wear glasses. No frames-needing character is more iconic than  than Harry Potter. We knew it would be fun to choose frames we thought represent some of the four houses’ traits.

More Than a Costume Piece

Harry’s glasses work as more than a fashion detail. In the books and films, his cracked frames and the spell Oculus Reparo point to a running theme of friendship and support, since it’s usually someone else who fixes what’s broken. That’s part of why round wire frames remain such an easy way to reference the character without needing a full costume, and why the style keeps resurfacing in real-world fashion the same way round frames cycled back into style in the 1960s thanks to icons like John Lennon. A well-fitted pair of round or square frames can round out a Halloween costume, a con outfit, or just an everyday look with a bit of wizarding flair.

 If you don’t know which glasses to choose, take the Harry Potter house quiz to find which house you’d be sorted into, or read the house traits below.

 

Hufflepuff: Represented by the badger and the colors yellow and black, Hufflepuff was founded by Helga Hufflepuff and values hard work, patience, loyalty, and fair play. One notable house member is Newt Scamander, author of “Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them.” Shop these frames.

Gryffindor: These lions value courage and bravery, with colors of scarlet and gold and an element of fire. Founded by Godric Gryffindor, notable members include Hermione Granger, Ron Weasley, and, of course, Harry Potter. Shop these frames.

Ravenclaw: This house is represented by an eagle and the colors blue and bronze. Founded by Rowena Ravenclaw, with members like the unique Luna Lovegood, Ravenclaws are known for their wit, learning, and wisdom, echoing Rowena’s motto that “wit beyond measure is man’s greatest treasure.” Shop these frames.

Slytherin: Represented by the snake, Slytherin is often associated with dark wizards, though not every member fits that mold. Many proud, ambitious, and cunning leaders claim the green and silver colors as their own, including Professor Severus Snape and the powerful wizard Merlin, alongside more infamous names like Draco Malfoy and Tom Riddle. Shop these frames.

Finding Your House Frame

Round and square face shapes tend to suit the round wire-frame look best, while oval and heart-shaped faces pair well with the square or geometric styles above.
