Wonderful Wizard Party

When it's a party for my own boys the planning starts months in advance! They choose the theme, as a family we "research" the film, and we try to do everything possible to transform our home and take the guests into another world.

At this magical Harry Potter party, guests first received a custom owl acceptance letter complete with a wax stamped Hogwarts seal. Once they walked through the front door of Platform 9 3/4 everything in the house would move appearing to be magical! Starting with the Hogwarts Express circling around the great castle.

Guests were then sorted by the talking sorting hat. They received a clay house medallion as they sat with their new friends. Once they ate their grand feast complete with Homemade Butterbeer, each house got to visit Gringott's bank for a bag of galleons and sickles. This money was used to buy treats at Honeydukes, purchase a wand at Ollivanders, play a Quidditch Tournament on the XBox Kinnect, or learn a potions class with Professor Snape. Each station was covered by a Hogwarts Head Master or Mistress ready to make the experience truly memorable!
