The Harry Potter series by J. K. Rowling has been a force to reckon with in the literary field ever since "Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone" debuted in 1997. There hasn't been very much in the way of crafts related to the series, although a few book and movie fans have created some of their own Harry Potter cross stitch kits.

In a number of cross stitch forums on the Internet, people are asking about Harry Potter crafts. Harry Potter cross stitch enthusiasts are looking for any pattern based on images from what has become the crown jewel of fantasy. There is an outcry for Harry Potter cross stitch kits and patterns. Perhaps some manufacturer or designer of cross stitch kits will take advantage of this golden opportunity and step in to fill the void.

One person loved the series enough to create her own charts to be used for knitting and crocheting afghans. These patterns while not specifically made for cross stitch, could probably still be used to stitch a wonderful finished piece. By doing a general search on the Internet, I'm sure you would be able to find these graphs and patterns and maybe even join a group or two to share your love of Harry Potter craft projects, as well as just your interest in the series in general.

There are actually quite a few Harry Potter groups in the Internet crafting world. You must register for these groups before you can read or post anything. However, the plus sides to joining are that it's free, and it's a great way to maybe discover new patterns that you didn't know existed. People on these groups are usually really friendly, and it's a remarkable way to connect people from everywhere in the world by bringing them together to discuss their common interest. It's amazing to see how many people share the same love for Harry Potter.

There is a particular forum that can be found on The Leaky Cauldron online. The owners of the site have created several plastic canvas patterns, as well as the forum solely dedicated to Harry Potter. Although plastic canvas patterns can be used for cross stitch projects, the experienced stitcher probably won't be satisfied with the finished results they achieve from using one of these plastic canvas patterns.

Cross Stitch Direct, a cross stitch company based out of Bromsgrove, UK, has had access to a Harry Potter cross stitch booklet produced by Mango Practique (written by Frdrique Deviller). This booklet has over 60 counted cross stitch patterns, but it is not a cross stitch kit. It is quite possible the book is no longer in print and on many forums they are regarded as being rare.

Many stitchers prefer a kit containing all the necessary supplies for completing a project. At this point, there have not been any authorized Harry Potter cross stitch kits available. Several people have created Harry Potter cross stitch designs that they are selling on eBay. This might be your only option if you are looking for Harry Potter cross stitch patterns.
