powered by FreeFind Harry Potter Party Ideas Harry Potter Deluxe   Your little wizard can have the most magical birthday party ever with these simple and creative Harry Potter party theme suggestions. Invitations Sorting Hat invitations can be made in the shape of the familiar hat and decorated with a mishmash of left over scrapbook paper. The invitation can state, "See what we have in store for you at Billy's birthday party." Golden snitch Invitations can be made on circle-shaped cards with real gold feathers added. They can read, “Fly over for a good time!” Another invitation idea uses a scroll and old English writing rolled up and closed with a ribbon. Your child can hand deliver the card or special tubes can be purchased to mail these adorable creations. Decorations Halloween decorations can be taken out and used to decorate your house for the Harry Potter party. Spider webbing, spiders, frogs and bones can turn any house into a lab or spooky castle. Use the Griffendor team colors of yellow and red crepe paper, balloons and paper ware. If your child favors another team, simply use those colors when purchasing crepe paper, paper ware, balloons and decorations. Create an underwater world by using low lighting and blue and green decorations. Green crepe paper can be hung from ceiling to floor to create kelp and paper starfish can be placed about to create ocean ambiance. Menu Ideas Again, borrow Halloween ideas to transform your menu into a fun wizard-themed meal. Children will have fun making their own magic wands by dipping pretzel sticks in chocolate and sprinkle with ice cream topping. You may also offer carrots, celery, and jicama sticks dipped in cream cheese for a healthy alternative. Serve sugar cones ice creams upside down on plates for a fun alternative that looks like a sorting hat. Allow children to make their own potion milkshake. Children can use vanilla, cocoa, cinnamon, sugar, brown sugar, and even sprinkles to make their own “potion”. Party Games The popular Harry Potter Scene It is always a good time to be had and is even more fun with larger groups. While party goers can't really fly on broomsticks, they can still use those brooms to play wizard hockey. Simply ask guests to bring a broom to play the hockey-type game with. A little snitch can even be painted on the ball to add more themed fun. Party goers can make their own magic wands by going on a nature walk and picking out the perfect stick. Children can then use sequins, papers, beads, yarn and pipe cleaners to decorate their special magical tool. The perfect birthday party can be created with some simple planning and great imagination. Allow your child to come up with some ideas by offering these suggestions as a mere foundation for your party plans. A Special Thank You to Vivian www.viviannelsonmelle.com
