With the Harry Potter books and films growing increasingly popular with all ages the reasonably priced products, including duvet sets, lunch bags and cushions are sure to fly off the shelves.

Already selling quickly at the Aldi on Hines Road, in Ipswich were the Harry Potter pencil cases - it looked as those children had already been persuading their parents to splash out on a few school supplies this morning.

If any mums and dads are looking for activities to keep their little ones entertained during the May half term they might want to pop to their local Aldi over the next few days.

There are lots of craft kits available, including a 'knit your own scarf' box, which would definitely keep them busy for a couple of hours or more.
