It looks good, but I don't think it's official merchandise.  I can't see a Warner Bros. logo or copyright (although the pictures are blurry) and the names of the items don't match anything from the books.

The other thing is the label with Rx Prescriptions on it.   You wouldn't find that on a "wizard" product.  The box is cute and someone obviously put a lot of work into it, but it has to be homemade.

Could someone tell me whether the word skiving is pronounced with a long or short i?

It's not official, its from a site called Whimsic Alley.com. They don't offer it on their website anymore, though. But they do still sell officially licenced candy.

They also sell a funny Skiving Snack Box related bumper sticker and pin
