The Dorm Room: Georgia, United States

A small house for 4 guests in the town of Chickamauga, Georgia, is full of charm inspired by the school of witchcraft and wizardry beloved by millions. You'll see the Weasley flying car and potion cauldrons before you enter, and once you cross the threshold, you'll find a Harry Potter-themed interior filled with memorabilia that's phenomenally detailed, even compared to other Harry Potter-themed Airbnb hotels. It's a whimsical hideaway where you'll spend hours looking at portraits on the walls reminiscent of those that adorn the hallways of Hogwarts, shelves stocked with a plethora of themed items and curiosities, candle-shaped lamps, and cute stained glass on the windows. The house looks like a long block, with a kitchen with a microwave, toaster and coffee maker in the front and a living room with a queen-size pull-out sofa bed. The back room has two more twin beds, reminiscent of a Hogwarts dormitory thanks to long canopies and patchwork bedspreads, and a claw-foot bathtub surrounded by gold-framed mirrors. There's free parking, outdoor furniture and a fire bowl on site. Lodging is available from $115 USD.

De Vere House: Lavenham, England, United Kingdom

One of the best 5-star Airbnb bed and breakfast Harry Potter-style hotels is located in Lavenham, a medieval British village that also appeared in the films themselves as Godric's Hollow. So when you arrive here, you'll be able not only to spend time in the thematic flavour but also to visit the locations where the Boy Who Survived movies were once filmed. The house has two guest rooms, the theme of which is emphasized by the interior with many exposed beams. Inside, you will find double four-poster beds and an en-suite bathroom. An oak staircase will lead you to the reading room with an open wood-burning fireplace. The house has a dining room serving a full English breakfast and a beautiful private garden nearby. Rooms start at $160 and can be booked for a minimum of 2 nights.

Ten minutes from downtown Asheville, surrounded by the Blue Ridge Mountains, is another one of Airbnb's unique homes inspired by the Harry Potter saga. The charming treehouse-style mini castle has one bedroom with a four-poster bed with a spiral staircase that leads to a loft with an additional bed. The rooms are decorated with brightly coloured pillows, Hogwarts-style flags and bedspreads, owl figurines and decor items like suitcases of luggage, school magic books, etc. The house has a bathroom, a living room with a cosy couch, a TV, board games for the whole family (including the ability to mix different potions) and a kitchen with tea and coffee making facilities and snacks. The windows in the house are large so nothing gets in the way of admiring the surrounding scenery. However, you can also do so while sitting on patio chairs or by the fire bowl. Rooms are priced from $350 USD.

The Wizard's Gite: Colmar, France

Of all the Harry Potter-themed Airbnb hotels, this one best captures the atmosphere of Gryffindor Tower. This themed retreat is located in a private home in the French city of Colmar. With stone walls, a four-poster bed, tapestries and framed paintings, you get to spend the night in your very own mini wizarding school. The cottage consists of two bedrooms in recognizable shades of red and gold. One of them is separate, while the second also acts as a living room with a sofa and electric fireplace. They are complemented by a kitchen with a dining area. You'll also find a nook with complimentary tea and coffee making facilities and an honesty bar with sweets and creamy beers. You'll be breathtaken not only by the interior and atmosphere of the house but also by the surrounding colourful landscape with bright houses along the canal and an abundance of flowering plants. Rooms are available from $140 USD.

Wizarding Home: Florida, United States

One of the most beautiful Airbnb hotels inspired by a castle from the Harry Potter movies and books in Florida provides an enchanting vacation. It consists of five bedrooms, a common room with a large TV, a kitchen and dining room with a long wooden table and candles, and a pool and patio with a grill. It's the right place to stay while visiting theme parks, including the Wizarding World of Harry Potter 10 miles away, without depriving yourself of the atmosphere of magic for a minute. Four themed bedrooms are on the first floor, and another with a bathroom reminiscent of Dumbledore's study is on the first floor. Many games are included, including Nintendo games. The interior embodies the interior of Hogwarts as accurately as possible: you'll see sofas near the fireplace, as in the Gryffindor dormitory, four-poster beds, a frozen silhouette of a knight in armour and portraits of wizards, images of the school and faculty crests and many other notable details like a Sorting Hat, quills for writing and magical folios. Rooms are priced from $167.

If you have no doubt that you would be assigned to Gryffindor in the world of Harry Potter, then you simply must visit one of the top Airbnb hotels inspired by that faculty's living room. The house has one bedroom with a queen-size bed, which is accessed by a wooden staircase to the loft. Another sofa bed is in the living room, so the maximum number of guests here is 4. The living room is decorated with an installation depicting a fireplace and many portraits of different wizards and sorceresses, including movie characters. The sofa and armchairs are covered with plaids with the Gryffindor crest. You can play chess at a cosy table. The walls are decorated with fixed Quidditch brooms, owl cages and robes with Gryffindor ties. There is a small work area in the form of a school desk, a full kitchen and a bathroom with a shower. Bookings for the home can be made with rates starting at $118.

Wizard's Way: Florida, United States

Large companies who share a love for the Harry Potter universe can also find themed Airbnb hotels that will gladden the hearts of fans. One such with eight bedrooms and five bathrooms is located in Champions Gate, Florida. The bedrooms are joined by two living rooms with plenty of seating, and video and and board games. Each room in the home is filled with what the owners call "special effects": custom decorative lighting, sound, and a host of themed decor items that together create that coveted vibe of magic all around. The beds are worth the price: one of them is located inside a steam train of the Hogwarts Express, a dragon spreads its wings over the second one, and another one is in the bedroom in the style of a Slytherin dungeon. The home's amenities include a fully equipped kitchen, outdoor dining area, private heated pool and movie theatre. The house can be booked for a minimum of 4 nights with rates starting at $817 per night.

Harry Potter Flat: Edinburgh, Scotland, United Kingdom

The area on West Bow, where one of the popular Airbnb hotels is located, will seem familiar to fans of the Harry Potter books and movies as it was the inspiration for J.K. Rowling's creation of Diagon Alley. The apartment is located in the centre of Edinburgh with the heart of its old part and you can reach the Royal Mile, Edinburgh Castle and other attractions in a couple of minutes. The apartment has a mystical history linked to magic that began long before Harry Potter: legend has it that in the 1600s, it was home to an official in charge of guarding the city, who was later arrested for witchcraft. Now the largest room in the apartment resembles the great hall of Hogwarts with its abundance of portraits on the walls, while the master bedroom is inspired by Hagrid's hut and decorated with branches of a friendly version of the weeping willow. The coin floor in the bathroom will transport you to Gringotts Bank for a moment. You'll find a secret closet behind the hallway mirror. The apartment has a fully equipped kitchen. Rates start at $146 and reservations are available for a minimum of 2 nights.
