I am a huge Harry Potter fan, so I thought that it would be fun to dream about what I would do if I threw my ultimate Harry Potter party.

This sign is such a cute way to close off an area of the house that isn’t open for the party.  This quote comes from the first Harry Potter movie, Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone (or Philosopher’s Stone if you aren’t from the US).

If you have seen Harry Potter, you likely fell in love with the floating candles in the Great Hall (especially in the first movie).  This is a fun twist on those candles, and uses electric tea lights, toilet paper rolls, hot glue, and paint.

In order to catch the train from the muggle world (non-magical world) to Hogwarts, students have to run through a brick wall to get on Platform 9 3/4.  This would be such a fun entrance to the party, showing guests that they are leaving the muggle world behind, and are entering the wizarding world.

These “flying keys” were featured as one of the tasks in the first movie to get to the Sorcerer’s Stone.  It’s an easy addition to your party, and a fun nod to the Harry Potter universe.

These mandrake cupcakes are the most adorable things I’ve ever seen.  Mandrakes are plants in the magic world that have babies that are in the ground, and have greens on top of them.

My family is completely into board games, and my cousin just bought this game.  We have been dying to play it (it may or may not have been the inspiration for this post).  I think that this would be a party favorite for fans of the franchise.

I love the idea of creating your own wand, especially for the younger wizards in attendance.  This is such an easy DIY project- all you need is chopsticks, hot glue, and paint, and you’re all set!

Are you a Harry Potter fan?  Would you want to attend this party like I would?  I think it would be so fun to play all of the Harry Potter movies (or at least as many as you can get through) while the party is going on!  Let me know in the comments if you try any of these ideas!
