Now that our wildly successful party is in the history books, I have broken down my party posts into several categories:
Invitations and Costumes
The Guests Arrive
Diagon Alley
Sorting Ceremony
Potions
Divination
Finding the Snitch
Quidditch
Honeydukes and Flu Powder
I will posting about the party over the next few weeks. I am so grateful for all the Pinterest and blog ideas that I found on the Internet to help us get ready for this fun event. I think we had a few original ideas that will add to the Harry Potter party lexicon. I hope that our ideas will also be an inspiration for others.
Meanwhile, I have all my Harry Potter supplies in a huge box in the attic. I am already planning on holding a Hogwarts Party for each of my grandchildren when they turn 11. Won't that be a fun tradition?!!
About a week before they event, we delivered these simple invitations. I simply printed them on some really pretty paper that I found at an office supply store. We asked all the guests to come dressed in a white shirt and wizard robes (if they had any.) This was so that all the guests would look great in the house ties that I had made for each of them. We also asked the guests to bring their own brooms. This was for our game of Quidditch. (Only half of the guests brought a broom, however. So we revised our Quidditch rules a little bit.)
The rest of our family also got in the act by dressing up in appropriate costumes.
This is Mad-Eye Moody and Harry Potter.
My husband and I are Hagrid and Madame Hooch.
Here are Bellatrix LeStrange and Albus Dumbledore.
Sybil Trelawny and Ginny Weasley also made an appearance.
Here the birthday girl waits for her guests to arrive. Finally, the moment we had been waiting for was here!
