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.
All across the Internet, you see people talking about their desire to stitch something from this popular book/movie series. The demand is definitely worth looking into by any of the cross stitch publishers. I'm sure if any of these companies were to produce Harry Potter cross stitch kits, they would literally fly out the doors to stitchers all over the world.
One craft enthusiast has produced Harry Potter graphs for knitting or crocheting afghans. While these graphs are not specifically for cross stitch, with the designer's permission, they could be adapted. Her patterns may be viewed at this web site: http://groups.msn.com/louisesinbreipatronen.msnw.
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.
A Frenchman, Frdrique Deviller, created an entire cross stitch booklet packed full with some 60 Harry Potter patterns including wizard symbols and each of the favorite characters. This booklet, produced by Mango Practique, and located at "Cross Stitch Direct" in Bromsgrove, UK, has become a rather rare collector's item for Harry Potter lovers of all ages. Although it is in high demand, it is hard to find, and there's a strong possibility it's no longer published.
A lot of stitchers prefer the ease of cross stitch kits because all the materials you need are provided. The convenience of a kit draws a lot of customers due to the time and money saved as opposed to buying everything separately. To date, there have been no official Harry Potter Cross Stitch Kits offered for sale by any cross stitch company. This is something they should definitely consider doing; there's a definite market for it. There have been a few individuals putting together their own kits and selling them on a popular auction site online. For right now, this may be the only way to satisfy your craving to stitch a Harry Potter design.
