honestly, it's not overtly Harry Potter! there's no red/yellow gryffindor memorabilia. the mobile was kinda the main event. i got some wall decals from this etsy shop (which of course is on vacation right now so you can't see the products). i got his name in the HP font, a wand, and a flying owl.
this crib sheet and matching changing pad cover.
i didn't want it to scream THIS IS A HARRY POTTER ROOM! walls are two tone grey. it's a very soothing space!

Most of the items in this room we already owned. The crib was a hand me down from a close friend, and we found the dresser on Facebook marketplace. Overall I think we only spent about $150. I dreamed of making this nursery before we found out baby Jetson was a boy, so I was thrilled to be able to make it happen.

Warning - lots of text below! My baby is about 6 weeks now and I'm exclusively breastfeeding. My Medela Harmony manual pump has been fine for building a stash - I pump 1-2 times a day for the freezer and occasional bottle feedings from Dad. I think it's pretty convenient, but I'll be using a double electric pump when I go back to work (waiting to see what Tricare will cover in 2015!).
Whatever you decide to use for diapering, I'd strongly recommend getting some prefolds (I got Osocozy unbleached). They're great for burp cloths, catching milk from your other boob during letdown, etc and they're also way cheaper and more absorbent than fancy burp cloths. Personally I love prefolds and covers for diapering, but don't buy too much into any one system or brand until you know what works for you. My husband hates prefolds so now I'm having to add pockets and AIOs to appease him.
I'd get some swaddlers (at least 2; my favorite is from Nuroo but that was a gift and they're pricey, the summer infant SwaddleMe wraps are good now that she's bigger but didn't fit well until about 10 lbs). My girl lives in footed pajamas and I love the Gerber zipped ones, we found tons at goodwill for $1.50 each but if you can't find them used, they're on Amazon for $10 for a 2 pack. You're right that other people will buy clothes, but they'll pick cutesy stuff and you need some practical choices too.
Nursing pillow - I had an unexpected C section and this has been so necessary. I love the Luna Lullaby since it's big and I had a big baby.
Some kind of baby carrier, I got a Moby wrap while she's small and it's amazing for running errands (I put it on before getting in the car and pop her in before going in the store, WAY easier than a carseat and stroller).
We were gifted a used swing and it is a freaking godsend. It's the only way I get chores done since I can pop her in there and cook, do laundry, clean, etc without her crying. YMMV, some babies hate them, but buy used and you won't be out too much cash.
Wubbanub pacifier is easy to keep track of and super cute.
Pack n Play with a mattress for cosleeping (recommended to reduce SIDS risk for the first 6 months). At least 2 mini crib sheets.
Earth Mama Angel Baby nipple butter is amazing for the first couple weeks.
QuickZip crib sheets will be amazing once you use the crib.
Simba baby safety nail cutter - no bleeding!
Finally, the Itzbeen pocket nanny timer is so helpful for keeping track of feedings and diaper changes, especially in the first few weeks.
Hope this wasn't too overwhelming. Good luck!

Here’s a set I found on amazon, searched for flannel crib sheet. Most of the flannels seem to be Christmas themed anyway.
https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B01076FKA6/ref=mp_s_a_1_4_a_it?ie=UTF8&qid=1509743324&sr=8-4&keywords=flannel+crib+sheet&dpPl=1&dpID=41LOVBt3oLL&ref=plSrch
I was/am in the exact same boat - first kid, limited funds, starting from scratch, going through reviews and prices drove me insane. It took me probably three months to get my registry together, and, even then, I am still switching things up, lol.
lucieslist.com was invaluable while picking everything out. I highly recommend you check it out.
What we have bought ourselves that fit our tight budget:
Graco Comfy Cruiser Travel System. We had already decided to go with that car seat, given that it seems to be the top-rated budget option, and the stroller ended up being a much-needed bonus. We go on walks a lot, so it works for us. If you don't need the stroller, the seat itself is, I think, only ~$100.
The Pack N Play, which I've heard from literally everyone and their mother is almost a necessity.
Because we don't have an IKEA near us to get our hands on a swanky $99 crib, we bought this DaVinci crib. We still only ended up paying $100 for it, as we found it on sale, however, we would have paid the $200 for it, given that the reviews are good, and, when compared to some other cribs that cost $400 and up, the price isn't bad at all.
As for the rest of the registry, we have on there a Moby wrap (affordable baby wearing, yay!), nail clippers, outlet plugs, nursing pads, a wipes case, a baby tub, baby wash, assorted crib sheets, waterproof crib sheets, Pack N Play mattress, and sheets to go with, crib mattress (we actually bought this one when we found it on sale for $20, and it's just fine), receiving blankets, dirty diaper bags (because we aren't getting a diaper pail, just a small can with a seal-able lid), changing pad, and a cover to go with, pacifiers, Dr. Brown's Gia Nursing Pillow, a bottle brush, bottle warmer, thermometer, booger sucker, camera to monitor the baby, and a few other assorted things that I couldn't really find a definitive "best in class" for, so pick at your own discretion: diaper bag, swaddles (although I've read good things about the Summer Infant brand), bottles (we're going with Phillips Avent), a bouncer (we got this one), and a swing.
I agonized over this stuff for what felt like forever, lol, so I hope it helps you and saves you some hair-pulling. It's all so overwhelming!
So, I know you are asking about a particular kind of mattress, and I cannot comment on that, but I can tell you that we have this one, and it's a godsend.

Just be warned that if you get this mattress, these are the only sheets I have found that fit properly (thank god they are cheap!):

Our baby was sleeping in a crib just fine, but our house flooded and we lost all of our furniture. We have not been able to get back in our house yet, as it is still under construction. We are staying with family and there is no room for a big crib. So, we have been using the pack and play since mid-August. Before we got the mattress, our son would not sleep in the PnP for more than one hour at a time. With the mattress, he will sleep all night. We've had this setup for about 2.5 - 3 months now. It isn't ideal, but I've never felt that my baby was in a dangerous situation sleeping in the PnP.

I had to do cold turkey on the swaddle because I refuse to buy any more contraptions. It was rough, and almost broke me. We got down to waking up every hour, on the hour and I just about lost my mind. I was never against cry it out or any sleep training, but my boy was not old enough yet to do it so I didn't think anything of it. But in the last 2 weeks I was so stressed an tired that I was taking it out on my husband, starting fights and shit. So I decided that mommy needs some sleep and we are gonna make it happen. Monday night was night 1 of cry it out. Kiddo was asleep in 18 minutes (went in to soothe him 3 times in 5 min intervals, only stayed 1 minute and never picked him up). He had a few wake-ups but did much better than usual. Night 2 it took 22 minutes to get to sleep, but then he slept through the night. I repeat, he slept through the night. I did a dream feed at 3am because I was engorged, but he slept through that too.
I feel like a fucking badass because it worked and for the first time in like 6 months, I feel like a normal person at work. Sleep training and CIO doesn't work for everyone, but it has worked wonders so far for us. And baby was much happier and more smiley this morning which is a help.
I also started putting him down on a fleece blanket in his crib, which I have tucked really well under his mattress. I know that isn't super safe, but I did it for a while just during the day and he never managed to get it loose so I think it's ok for night time too (esp since I was in his room once an hour anyway). Now that I won't have to check on him every 60 minutes, I've bought some of these which might also help you.
