Basic Fun! Casts A Spell with New ‘Harry Potter’ Care Bears Collection

In honor of Harry Potter’s 25th anniversary, Basic Fun! is teaming up with Warner Bros. to conjure a new collection of Care Bears plush inspired by the beloved series. 

This magical crossover sorts four fan-favorite bears into the classic Hogwarts Houses — Gryffindor, Hufflepuff, Ravenclaw, and Slytherin. Launching this month, these limited-edition plushies celebrate the magic of friendship that makes both franchises so spellbinding. Fans can represent their House with pride, or collect them all. 

“As the iconic Harry Potter franchise celebrates 25 Years of Magic, in honor 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,” says Lisa Doiron, Vice President of Global Brand Marketing at Basic Fun!  

The 12-inch assortment features four Care Bears wearing fuzzy hoodies, robes, and scarves in each Hogwarts House’s colors, complete with the 25th anniversary logo. Kids can cuddle up with Gryffindor’s Tenderheart Bear, Hufflepuff’s Love-a-Lot Bear, Ravenclaw’s Wish Bear, or Slytherin’s Grumpy Bear. Each bear is available individually or bundled in duo packs.

Rounding out the line are four 8-inch plush bears, dressed as their Hogwarts House mascots. These characters also sport their House’s robes, scarf, and crest, as well as their classic belly badge with the Harry Potter 25th Anniversary logo on their paw. 

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

Witches, wizards, and Muggles of all ages can find the Harry Potter X Care Bears collection at retailers across North America, the EU, and the UK later this month.
