This one has no real-world original. The story that comes with it is of an ancient gateway to a magical world, long sealed, and a dusty room whose magical spirits wait for it to open again. On a stormy night a young boy takes shelter in the cottage, and as the clock strikes midnight he opens the book on the table and the gears of destiny begin to turn. The kit never names Harry Potter — Joincon only tags its listing that way — but the snowy owl on the balcony rail, the trophy cup on the shelf and the witch's hat leave little doubt about where it is pointing.
The scene is one tall room on several levels: curved bookshelves running up the left side with a ladder against them, a balcony and bridge overhead with open books flying from it, a Gothic arched window behind a writing desk with candles, a small pump organ, a globe, a black cat among the books and a round rug on the floor. The listings count foldable books, a wand treasure chest, collapsible small trunks, flying books and wizard's hats among its pieces. The whole thing sits in an arched frame with MAGIC across the top and a MAGIC WORLD nameplate at the foot.
It is sold under more than one name. Joincon lists it on its own site as Magic World SQ-14W, SKU SQ-14, for ages 14 and up, and resellers such as Fifijoy, which has carried it since September 2023, sell it simply as the Magic World book nook kit, with or without a dust cover. None of the listings says who designed or made it; Joincon, the only one to sell it from its own site, is the likeliest maker but not a confirmed one. Fifijoy gives the finished size as 25.4 cm high, 17 cm wide and 11.4 cm deep, in natural wood, and rates it four stars out of five for difficulty. The lights are touch-activated and run on two AA batteries, which, like the glue, may have to be bought separately.
