Magical Color-Changing Candles

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

Muggle Library Candles Created a Fun Soy Wax Harry Potter Candle

— October 16, 2017 — Art & Design
'The Sorting' is a soy wax candle product from Etsy seller Muggle Library Candles that hopes to provide an experience that many fans have only ever been able to dream of—finding out which Hogwarts house they'd be sorted into.

To simulate some of the magic of the experience that the enchanted Sorting Hat provides to new students at the Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, this candle begins off white and reveals a color that corresponds with one of four houses. As a result of burning the candle for the first time, the wax will either turn red, yellow, green or blue.

As far as scent, The Sorting is said to have a pleasing citrus aroma that's grounded by sandalwood, vanilla and patchouli, but it is also said to capture the essence of "excitement, fear and nervousness."
