Harry Potter Party Overview

We do parties big at the Grow Home, especially my niece's birthday bashes. This year, we had a Harry Potter party complete with a multi-course banquet, potion-making and Herbology classes, an egg hunt, pinata, and a game of Quidditch. There were so many details and I took so many pictures that I am going to do a quick overview as well as more detailed posts with the food, decor, and games.

Welcome to Hogworts.

Party attendees were students at Hogwarts. The Birthday Girl was named, "Student of the Month."
There were many potions on display. Some silly, some creepy but the students mostly enjoyed mixing their own potions.

 

 We transformed our living/dining room into a banquet hall.

I'll do another post on just the food but in the meantime, here are pics of the bubbling punch
 chicken legs, mashed potatoes and carrots
 and the cake.
 The kids played a very competitive game of Quidditch.
 The students enjoyed learning about "Herbology."
 
 Of course we did the traditional Pinata and opening of gifts too.


All the students went home with handmade owl goody bags full of treasures. 


 Stay tuned for futute posts on all the food, the decorations, the games, and all the handmade details.  My sister spent months doing research and creating all the handmade details that made the day so special. It really paid off with an amazing event that the niece and all her friends will remember for years to come.
