At the heart of the Houses of Hogwarts™ collection lies this most enchanting duo—where writing becomes a ritual, and every detail leaves a legacy.
As many of you already know, Ferris Wheel Press have teamed up with Warner Brothers and released the Houses of Hogwarts writing collection to honour the four school houses that feature in the Harry Potter series of books and films. Each edition features a custom-etched grip section inspired by House iconography and virtues. Precision-crafted with a solid brass body and finished in a radiant House-themed lacquer, the FWP Joule fountain pen delivers a beautifully weighted writing experience with exceptional balance in hand.
But no journey is complete without its magical counterpart. Each Joule pen is complemented by its original House ink—a gleaming 38ml treasure crowned with a sculpted metal cap, cast in intricate detail to bring each House mascot to life. These collectible bottles shimmer with brilliance and serve as timeless keepsakes—true emblems of distinction. To view the full collection click here to visit the FWP website.
I am reviewing the Slytherin House duo. Firstly, the pen, which comes in a Slytherin green high gloss lacquer with intricately etched brass grips featuring the house serpent mascot. The sculpted brass hardware is finished in a brush silver. The etched brush silver cap ring features Latin wording which translates as ‘Never Tickle A Sleeping Dragon’ which is a lovely touch. Elegantly weighted for comfort and balance the pen also features a chrome plated nib with the Hogwarts crest deep etched into it.
The nib is a size #6 and writes beautifully. It is compatible with JOWO Size #6 nibs. So if you wanted to swap this nib out for a Kanwrite ultra flex nib, for example, or use alternative nibs from the FWP nib range, you can! One drawback is that this pen doesn’t have a clip or an anti rolling device, and it can roll, but it does come with a black leather pen sleeve blind embossed with the Hogwarts crest, which offers a safe way to protect the pen, which, as it retails at £199.00, is well worth looking after!
Turning to the fountain pen ink, ambition takes centre stage with this deep emerald ink representing Slytherin house. This ink is perfectly designed for witches and wizards with grand dreams and cunning plans with a slightly darker twist, and the unrelenting ambition to chase them. Full bodied with a great tonal range, the ink reveals chromatic qualities of blue greens and turquoise with a generous silver shimmer to really make it pop. This ink can be utilised for creating art as well for writing. Check out the portrait of Severus Snape for proof!
The 30ml bottle retails at £39.99 and comes crowned with a sculpted metal cap of the Slytherin Serpent mascot. And both pen and ink come beautifully packaged with the design, quality and finish that FWP are revered for.
So,whether you’re revisiting old memories or beginning a new chapter, this is your invitation to write with wonder, heart, and distinction.
FWP are one of the few stationery brands who can properly deliver globally revered licensed stationery products to the standards that global entertainment organisations expect. Somewhat sadly, I have received some negative comment concerning this trait of licensed product promotion as being cheap and desperate. Without doubt this is a challenging time for any small business to survive and in some cases it’s ‘as needs must’, but in defence of FWP, not only can they produce some visually stunning product, they are choosing their licensed products carefully, intelligently and reaching new markets that embrace the use of fountain pens and ink. Lord of the Rings, Harry Potter, Superman etc all have a writing experience deep at the heart of their stories. And if this is a way of enticing audiences to pick up a writing instrument again or for the very first time, then I am 100% behind FWP!
Many many thanks to FWP for sending me the pen and ink to review. Expecto Patronum!
And HEY!
