How to throw a Harry Potter
Party... costumes, decorations, recipes, props,
and ideas for throwing a great Harry Potter party. |
|

Every Harry Potter needs a "host".
Hermione, played by Emma Watson in the movies, is our host for this party.
Her outfit is handmade or borrowed from head to toe. She made her robe by
using a simplicity pattern, she designed and made her pleated skirt , and
she borrowed daddy's white shirt and tie. Her Harry Potter wand was made
from stained wood, and her books were made from cereal boxes that she
painted!
Have a Harry Potter Quiz on hand too!
The
Harry Potter series is so incredibly popular with kids of all ages because
it is so well written, imaginative and filled with fantastic characters.
You should try to make costumes based on the
Harry Potter movies or books. Something fun to do would be to make
your own costume and then have Mom and Dad check out all the great
Halloween costumes online for the rest of the family. Dad as
Dumbledore, Mom as Professor McGonagall and the kids as
Harry and the Dursleys! That would make for a great Halloween!

Decorate your rooms from top to
bottom with Harry Potter decor. Harry Potter hats were made from black and
orange fabric, and Hogwarts books were made from old cereal boxes of
different sizes. |

Delicious Harry Potter Butterbeer was
served. "mmmmm" See our favorite recipe below. |

|
|

Everyone had to go through the
platform 9 3/4 to enter the Harry Potter Chamber. This was made by painting
bricks on muslin fabric. |

Everyone had to dress as a character from the Harry
Potter book series to enter. |
| |
|
|

Antique bottles laying around the house
were used as "potion" bottles with water and food coloring in them for
effect. Plastic snakes and frogs were added to this Professor Snakes
display. |

Harry Potter Hats and Harry Potter brooms were hung from the ceiling in each of
the rooms by fishing line, which is like a clear piece of thread, making everyone
wondering how they were suspended in the air. |

More cool wizardry and Harry Potter decorations. |

To be in the Muggle world, as
soon as your guest arrive have them take a sorting test to see which house
they belong in whether Slytherin, , Gryffindor, Ravenclaw, or Hufflepuff. |

Last but not least, if you have extra time at your party
and everyone is having such a great time that they don't want to leave,
then pop out the "Harry Potter" game!!!

Harry Potter
Butterbeer Recipe:
(There are plenty of
Butterbeer recipes you can
find on the internet, and we've tried just about all of them, but this is our favorite.)
This makes one serving, so for a party of 25 guest, you can imagine how much root
beer, butter, and cream we had to buy.
12 oz. of root beer soda (room
temperature)
1/8 cup of butter
1/8 cup of cream
1. Melt the butter in microwave dish
2. Put the root beer in a large microwave
dish and heat slowly, (start with the root beer at room temperature)
3. Add the cream and melted butter
4. Basically..., heat, mix, stir, and
taste until the Butterbeer is the way you like it!!!
