Basic Fun! Debuts Care Bears x Harry Potter Collection

Basic Fun! has unveiled a new Harry Potter x Care Bears collaboration in celebration of Harry Potter’s 25th anniversary.

“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,” said Lisa Doiron, VP of global brand marketing at Basic Fun!

This crossover will feature Care Bear characters representing the four Hogwarts houses in two sizes. These limited-edition plushies launch worldwide at retailers throughout North America, the U.K. and the EU this spring.

Merchandise includes a 12-inch plush hoodie assortment that includes four bears decked out in mascot hoodies, Hogwarts house robes and house scarves that match their house colors: Gryffindor House Tenderheart Bear, Hufflepuff House Love-a-Lot Bear, Ravenclaw House Wish Bear and Slytherin House Grumpy Bear.

Also available are the House Bears 8-inch plush assortment in four collectible besties: Gryffindor House Tenderheart Bear, Hufflepuff House Funshine Bear, Ravenclaw House Grumpy Bear and Slytherin House Good Luck Bear. Each bear sports a Hogwarts house robe, house scarf, and house crest and their paws feature both the bear emblems as well as the Harry Potter 25th anniversary logo.

“Care Bears and Harry Potter have a unique ability to connect with fans of all ages,” said 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.”
