Harry Potter Themed Party

The most important thing about this kids birthday party place is to have fun and letting your imagination go wild. So, to start with ask your kids about the best parts of the books and Harry Potter movies and then use that as the start point for the wizard party decor. You will very soon be able to turn your home into Hogwarts.

Sign board: rather than having the regular Happy birthday sign board, go for the sign that says Platform 9-3/4, so the kids know they are at the right place when entering the Harry Potter birthday party.

Colors for the Birthday party: next comes in the colors that will dress up the Harry Potter birthday party. For Hogwarts the official colors are green and orange. So go for streamers, balloons and other birthday party decorations in orange and green color.

Dragons: if you want to really create the feeling of the wizard world, then try to create some dragon egg nests and place them around the house. Buy some large plastic eggs from the nearby store and use gold, silver and glitter to paint them and give it a magical touch as well. Once the color has dried off, place the eggs in the basket and place them where your little guests can see them. This is one of the great ideas for kids birthday parties.

Magic Potions: how can there be Harry Potter birthday party if there are no potion jar centerpieces? After all potion class is one thing that Harry Potter screwed up so many times. It is very easy to set the scene and the kids will love to fill the jars with different magical ingredients. So what you simply need is glass jars of different sizes and then simply print labels of the different ingredients that you want to show. Now fill the jars with different household items that can be a decent substitute for the real stuff. For example raisins can be used instead of bat eyes, leaves or weeds in green water can go for gillyweed and simple cocktail onions can pass off like hippogriff gizzards. Keep these jars at a prime location so that kids can reach it easily. These will even act like Harry Potter accessories for the kids birthday party.

Golden snitches: the Harry Potter birthday party can’t be complete without the popular golden snitches. And this also can be done quite easily. Just spray paint plastic balls with gold paint and then attach paper wings on each side. Now hang them from the ceiling. This is also act like a great activity for toddler birthday party for this Harry Potter theme.

Food and drink

The food and drink also has to be done in the Harry Potter style just perfect for the muggles and the wizards. Here are some options that you can try out:

Cockroach clusters: for this you need to pour melted chocolate over small sections of trail mix or any other crunchy material like the pretzels of your choice. Let it harden in the fridge and then serve.

Cauldron cakes: for this you will need chocolate cupcakes that are baked in mini muffin tins with a small part of black shoestring licorice placed on the top.

Food-on-a-wand: for the healthier options of food servings, go for sticking them to a magic wand or skewers. Fresh fruit and cheese can be easily skewered one night before and then simply brought out once the birthday party starts.

Butterbeer: if you are thinking how to make the famous Harry Potter butterbeer then all you need is root beer or cream soda. You can even go for flavored soda and let the kids have their own version of butterbeer.
