Party Recap

I love how this party turned out!! This was for my daughters 11th birthday party! We had, brick at the front door, cobble stone on the walls, envelopes, candles and golden snitches hanging from the ceiling, a table set for a feast like in the great hall at Hogwarts. My daughter was so happy. We also had two characters come Hermione and Ginny from harry potter books. We started the party out by having each child complete a house sorting quiz. We graded it in secret. When the characters came they did a house sorting with the sorting hat. They were sorted based on their quiz. I also made wands with chopsticks, hot glue and paint. Each child had a wand ceremony and they picked from a bag so the wand choose them. Next they went outside to learn defense against the dark arts and had a duel as well. We then sang happy birthday and the characters left. After that we had Potions 101 class. I had 4 8" cauldrons on the table. Each group of 5 or 4 kids then added various ingredients to their pot. I had 1 potion bottle with baking soda and one with vinegar so it would bubble. The other ones were water with glitter, corn syrup and glitter, white flour, and feathers. They choose a potion name and what the potion did. Next they used their wands and did a chant. Each group stood up and told everyone about their potion. The party was amazing and I think every kid had so much fun!
