Two nostalgic worlds are colliding in 2026 as Basic Fun!, the global toy company behind Cloudco Entertainment’s Care Bears plush, unveils a magical new collaboration with Warner Bros. Discovery Global Consumer Products. To celebrate Harry Potter’s 25th Anniversary, the Harry Potter x Care Bears collection brings Hogwarts house pride to the colourful world of Care-A-Lot — and it’s already casting a spell over fans.
Launching worldwide this spring across the UK, Europe, and North America, the limited-edition plush collection reimagines beloved Care Bears as members of the four iconic Hogwarts houses. Designed for both Harry Potter fans and Care Bears collectors, the crossover blends comfort, nostalgia, and wizarding magic in two huggable sizes.
Care Bears Meet the Hogwarts Houses
At the heart of the collection is the Harry Potter x Care Bears 30cm Plush Hoodie Assortment (RRP £19.99). Each bear arrives dressed in ultra-soft mascot hoodies, complete with Hogwarts robes and house-coloured scarves:
-
Gryffindor – Tenderheart Bear
-
Hufflepuff – Love-a-Lot Bear
-
Ravenclaw – Wish Bear
-
Slytherin – Grumpy Bear
To mark 25 Years of Magic, every plush features the official Harry Potter 25th Anniversary logo on its paw — making them a must-have for collectors.
Also launching is the 22cm Harry Potter x Care Bears House Bears Plush Assortment (RRP £14.99), perfect for fans who want a smaller companion for everyday adventures. The four collectible bears include:
-
Gryffindor – Tenderheart Bear

Slytherin – Good Luck Bear
Each House Bear sports a Hogwarts robe, scarf, and house crest, alongside their signature Care Bear belly badge and the Harry Potter anniversary emblem.
A Nostalgic Crossover With Heart
“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,” said Holly Lackey, Director of Marketing & Licensing UK & Europe at Basic Fun!. “This enchanting crossover is rich in character details and filled with heart.”
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.”
