Since the year 2017 marks the official 20th anniversary of the [Harry Potter franchise](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dr-squatch-x-harry-potter), a number of new products are being released in celebration, including a magical bath bomb from [Lush Cosmetics UK](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/how-to-train-your-dragon-x-lush).

Lush's 'Dark Arts Jelly Bomb' quickly sold out online, also appealing to Lush fans with a vegan formula loaded with skin-nourishing ingredients like sweet almond oil, cinnamon oil and orange oil. Although the jelly bath bomb boasts an all-black color, when it is added to one's bath, the real magic happens as it dissolves to form a soothing "love potion pink" color in bathwater.

Earlier this year, Lush released a bath bomb of a similar shape and texture called the '[Ectoplasm Jelly Bomb](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lush-shower-jellies),' which seems to take inspiration from the fantastical, paranormal world of Ghost Busters.
