Bring 'Harry Potter' Into Your Home With These Viral Floating Pumpkins

Raise (literally) the standards on your Halloween decor: This video shows you how to get your jack-o-lanterns to suspend in the air.

There’s a frighteningly fun viral video of Halloween decorations making its way through Instagram feeds as fall nears—and this one in particular seems like pure magic.

It starts with a view of what appears to be jack-o'-lanterns floating in the air in the middle of someone’s house, followed by a shot of candles hovering above a lit fireplace. Long, tapered bone candlesticks are lit before the video takes you outside to a DIY game of quidditch, the infamous sport in Harry Potter, and back inside for a cute candlelit fall scene. The creator shows the viewer to a gallery wall of paintings, each decorated with spider webs, and then to another shot of those floating jack-o-lanterns.

“Don’t mind me, I’ll just be transforming our house into Hogwarts for Harry Potter Halloween 🎃🕯️,” creator @mrsmckennabarry writes in the caption, alluding to the dining scenes in the films in which candles hover above the long dining room tables. Dozens of comments under the video are dying to know: How did she do that with the pumpkins? Is she a wizard, or is she just really good at illusionist decor?

It turns out Barry is simply an excellent DIYer. She responded to one user, writing that she did carve them herself—but they aren’t real pumpkins. She hasn’t posted a how-to video taking fans through how, exactly, she made them, but you can make some inferences.

According to her LTK, a shoppable social media app, Barry bought some nine-inch Carvable Faux Halloween Pumpkin from Target’s Hyde & EEK! Boutique for $10 and carved them into jack-o-lanterns. Inside the faux pumpkins, she placed mini LED tealight candles she bought from Amazon, which come in a pack of 10 for $21. While she didn’t describe how she hung the pumpkins, you can create the floating look by using a clear fishing line. Simply anchor it to the top of the pumpkin and tack it to the ceiling.

The final product feels incredibly playful and just the right amount of spooky, but if you don't want to put in the work to hang the pumpkins (it is a little more tedious than casting a spell, after all), other parts of Barry’s Halloween home involve a bit less effort. For instance, you can get the floating candles and Dementor she featured from Amazon, and the candle carousel from Etsy.

With a home filled with seasonal DIYs, how could you not want to curl up under your candlelit pumpkins and watch your favorite fall movie (namely, all of the Harry Potter franchise)? Just get your fishing line, and get cozy.
