Blvck Paris has partnered with Warner Bros. once more for an all-black Harry Potter collection, and this one delves deeper into the darker corners of Hogwarts than any previous range from the fashion brand.
A darker palette has replaced the bright house colors of most Harry Potter clothing. The franchise is usually dressed in bold yellow ties or crimson sweaters. Pairing it with Blvck’s all-black luxury style offers fans a way to show off their favorite Hogwarts house without dressing up for a costume party.
The Second Drop’s Formula
Warner Bros. has teamed up with Blvck Paris for a second limited-edition collection, and the approach remains unchanged. Dark tones, subtle branding, and an exclusive release define the formula, which the company is sticking to after its first successful collaboration.
The Timing of the Release
As HBO’s upcoming Harry Potter television series gathers attention, the collection lands to take advantage of that momentum.
The Products Inside the Line
Sept. 28, at 12 p.m. ET, marks the exclusive launch of the collection on Blvck Paris. The pieces come in sizes XS through 3XL, with prices ranging from $60 to $275.
At the heart of the collection sits the Zipped Wanted Hooded Sweatshirt, which lets you mix and match with four separate wanted-poster graphics, including one for Sirius Black. The Slytherin Baseball Jacket rounds things out, sporting a fine-toned serpent design that runs across its shoulders and sleeves.
The Tonal House Hoodies and Sweaters come in muted, dark-grey, and black designs for Gryffindor, Slytherin, Ravenclaw, and Hufflepuff. The Teddy Draco Malfoy Hoodie and Tee puts Blvck’s signature teddy bear mascot through a Slytherin-inspired redesign with dark wizard accents.
The line draws on sporty streetwear, mixing Blvck’s dark foundation with house colors and crests from Slytherin and Gryffindor jerseys. It goes beyond clothing to cover a Chamber of Secrets notebook, Slytherin jeans and beanie, Nagini and Wanted-Poster phone cases, hooded blankets, and plush Gryffindor and Slytherin teddy slippers.
What Julian O’Hayon Said
Julian O’Hayon, founder of Blvck Paris, offered a clear mission for the drop. “With this second drop, we wanted to go deeper into the details fans recognize and love while staying true to Blvck’s monochrome identity,” he said.
Why Fans Should Care
Blvck Paris is the only place where you can get this drop. The price begins at $60, though it goes up to $275, so the starting cost depends on what you choose.
A limited supply means items won’t last long on the shelves. Anyone hoping to get their hands on one of these should plan ahead and make note of the dates they’ll be available.

Our View on the Collection
The property here is being rendered in a dark style, and that is precisely the goal. Blvck has taken a recognizable property and put its own spin on it, which makes for a fun merchandising exercise.
A bright display of house colors can be turned into shadow, and this collection makes that case. Whether the case survives a single washing is an open question.
There is much to please fans of a darker Hogwarts, and the exclusivity and the cost justify the look, though it may not become a wardrobe staple.
Blvck Paris hosts the collection’s launch on Sept. 28, with the event set to begin at 12 p.m. ET.
