We gathered supplies we would need, loaned library books on hosting a party and magical cooking, and made a cool Hogworts invitation and hand delivered them.
We used green wax and an old seal. We individually addressed each child "student's invitation to attend Hogwort's School." Joe made up a Marauder's Map with a map to our house we included in the invitation.
The night before the party, we made candy, decorated, and tried to set up all we could. I hope the pictures below will help to "say a thousand words" so I won't have to.
"Princess," Joe, "Party Girl" and LavonAlise are gathering around our double broiler making the filled Chocolate Frogs for the party.
On the table shown are Cockroach Clusters (left), Peppermint Toads (shown upper right side; dipped half way Haribo gummy frogs with crushed peppermint sprinkles), Wizard Hats (dipped Bugles), Chocolate Frogs (center), candy "Warts," and the Snowballs that Joe scavenged from all the gas stations around here for the "Pygmy Puffs."
The Library table is filled with Harry Potter Party Props..."Funkins," Changing Pictures (from the Dollar Store), cauldrons, a metal spider, brick wall plasstic, things for our "Potions (Science experiments) and bags of Dollar Store Candy for our "Honeydukes Candy Shoppe."
Joe's Sister, Lavonalise, and Bekah are making the favor bags (broomsticks with Quidditch Mix inside and large Pretzel stick handles."
The Quidditch Mix (made up of Caramel Chex Mix, gummie frogs and worms, wizard hats (Bugles), mint chocolate drops--instead of red and yellow M and M's).

sounds and looks like it was a wonderful Harry Potter party! you pulled it off in just enough time! i'm sure everyone loved it! can i send my girls to you for their parties? just thinking of parties makes me tired!
Sounds fun! Can't wait to see more pictures! My friends and I had an "adult" Harry Potter party before going to see the movie. We didn't do a lot since it was pretty spur of the moment, but the butterbeer was to die for!
