Why not make your own?
Take an existing comforter that you know fits your bed....
Then go to the fabric store and pick out a fabric that you really really like for your bed. Get enough to cover the comforter and to make a few throw pillows and maybe even a couple of curtain panels.
Lay out the fabric...wrong side to wrong side........enough to cover the comforter and leave about a foot of fabric to overlap on the other side....sort of like an envelope.....
then sew up the two sides. Very simple way to make your own comforter.
Then simply slip the old comforter into the new 'pocket' comforter. There you have a brand new comforter.
Very simple.
Then for a pillow.....cut out the shape you want.....(squares or rectangles are easiest) .....sew the wrong side to wrong side leaving a small opening to stuff the pillow.....stuff it ...then sew up the opening.
For the curtains.....fold in about one inch of fabric all the way around the edge....pin it in place... sew it (this is called finishing the fabric so you don't have raw edges of fraying fabric hanging off the edge)......now that your fabric is 'finished'................fold over four inches of fabric .....put a stitch at the top of the curtain one inch from the top............then another one three inches from the top....this will leave a two inch tunnel for the curtain rod to go through.
Save some of your fabric scraps to line the inside of some decorative baskets......now that you know how to sew a few things ...this will be a snap.
Just do like you did for the curtains.... leave a tunnel and put a nylon cording or rope or ribbon through the tunnel to make a draw string deal that you can pull to snug the fabric around the basket.
You can find old sewing machines at flea markets and garage sales and auctions. Learn to use a sewing machine and the sky is the limit on what you can make. You will be shocked at how easy it is to sew and how much money you will save from buying store bought items. They charge way too much for that stuff anyway.

Small Space-saving Teen Girl Bedroom?
Zea Pe�as
I'm planning to makeover my room. I kinda want my bed and study desk to be like this:

Also, A bit Harry Potter themed since it's coming to and 'end' I'd want to keep the magic alive.
Answer
Couldn't get into sight that you suggested so I'm on my own.
Love the idea that you want to "keep the magic alive." Great idea. We can all use is little magic in our lives.
I'm going with a single bed since I don't know if you have a larger bed. Take a good look around your room and see what you have. How about windows? A study desk could possibly go under the window to afford more light during day light hours to do home work, computer, etc. Could possibly save a little on electric bill if you put some of that sunshine to use. Bed could go next to bed, again if this is possible. Good place to put alarm clock and perhaps a small desk top lap if there is enough room on desk. I'm sure you could find the space. When doing home work or other project over flow from desk could be put on bed temporarily. When done with project these things can be put back on desk. Sure you don't want to rest your head on one of your schools books when it's time to ZZZ.
Maybe you could find a Harry Potter poster, framed or unframed to put on a wall, depending on wall space. Could also look around for witches hat to hand next to Harry Potter poster or if poster is framed then hang on edge of frame. Think of other Harry Potter things that could possibly hung on the wall or put somewhere around your room. Might be able to find these things at Goodwill or second hand stores. Maybe mom could take you to these places to look around. Just saw a framed Harry Potter poster at the Goodwill. You never know what you can find there that shouldn't have to cost you or mom an arm and leg. If you go to Goodwill look where they have the frames and such.
Where ever you put your bed, if possible, I would try to keep work desk near by for suggested reasons above. Look around to find out what's out there regarding Harry Potter theme. If it's too expensive do you really need it? Also check out rummage sales for the things you're looking for.
Anything you might bump into regarding Harry Potter think about if will look the way you want it to look in your bedroom. Remember you are doing this for your self. It's your project, it's your room. Good luck and have fun putting putting things together.
