It’s been 20 years since the first “Harry Potter” book was published, and the wizarding world has gathered tons of devoted fans. As kids who grew up reading the books and watching the movies go on to have children of their own, many are excited to share their love of “Harry Potter” with their kids.

We asked the HuffPost Parents community to share the ways they have passed the fandom down to their kids ― with adorable Harry Potter photo shoots, nurseries, birthday parties and more. Grab some magical inspiration below, and share the ways your family celebrates the wonderful world of Harry Potter in the comments.

My oldest was 4 months old when the final book was released, and she was there at the bookstore with me for 7 hours waiting for it. We were on our local news and later got the clip on DVD.

We LOVE Harry Potter! Created our first Harry Potter-themed Christmas tree this year filled with all sorts of things ... my daughter loved playing with the wands the most! We leave in a week for The Wizarding World of Harry Potter.

We started reading the books last May. We read a little each night, and when we finish the book we watch the movie together as a family! My son decided he wanted a Harry Potter-themed birthday party, so here is dining in the Great Hall! Each place setting has a cauldron of goodies, Harry Potter glasses, and a goblet, of course! We are finally on book 7, too!

This is just one corner of our Harry Potter-themed nursery. Our little man is due July 30th (hoping he makes an appearance a day late).

From June 1 to June 30, HuffPost is celebrating the 20th anniversary of the very first “Harry Potter” book by reminiscing about all things Hogwarts. Accio childhood memories.
