The range, celebrating Harry Potter’s 25th anniversary, features Care Bears characters representing the four Hogwarts houses in two sizes of huggable bears.

The Harry Potter x Care Bears 12″ Plush Hoodie Assortment includes four bears decked out in mascot hoodies, Hogwarts house robes and house scarves: Gryffindor House Tenderheart Bear, Hufflepuff House Love-a-Lot Bear, Ravenclaw House Wish Bear, and Slytherin House Grumpy Bear. Each bear also features the Harry Potter 25th anniversary logo on their paw.

Elsewhere, the Harry Potter x Care Bears House Bears 8″ Plush Assortment spans Gryffindor House Tenderheart Bear, Hufflepuff House Funshine Bear, Ravenclaw House Grumpy Bear and Slytherin House Good Luck Bear.

“As the iconic Harry Potter franchise celebrates 25 years of magic, in honour of the first film in the series, we are beyond excited to connect the worlds of Care-A-Lot and Hogwarts for an enchanting crossover that’s rich in character details and filled with heart,” said Lisa Doiron, Vice President of Global Brand Marketing at Basic Fun!

Robert Prinzo, Head of Global Licensing at Cloudco Entertainment, added: “Care Bears and Harry Potter have a unique ability to connect with fans of all ages. Bringing them together was a fun and meaningful way to celebrate imagination, magic, and the comfort these brands have offered for decades.”

The limited-edition plushies are launching worldwide at retailers throughout North America, the UK and the EU this spring.
