1) Make your own edible wand with pretzel sticks and different colored frosting and sprinkles. And red licorice.
2) Make your own real wand with twigs/sticks, pipe cleaners, glitter glue, and sequins.
3) Butter beer = cream soda with whipped cream. Witch hat cookies = Keebler fudge cookies turned upside down with a Hershey's kiss stuck in the middle, with a ring of frosting holding it down looking like hat decoration.
4) Being sorted = sit on a stool, put on the sorting hat, close your eyes and pick a "dinosaur egg" of each of the 4 House colors from a hat. A chorus of teens announced your House once you picked.
(X's wand is in the forefront)
5) A custom-made "I'm a prisoner of Azkaban" photo frame with which to pose.
6) Make your own bookmark by cutting out broom bottoms out of felt and gluing them to the bottom of a House colored popsicle stick, and then write runes on it.
7) Make your own Golden Snitch = take a gold porous bouncy-looking ball and stick two feathers on either side, and wave it up and down.
Eat, drink, do art, and repeat. (I write all this down to remind me in case of future birthday parties.)
Wow! I am completely bowled over! How extravagantly fun-filled -- what original ideas!
ReplyDeleteBravo! Each individual kid becomes Harry Potter himself -- and moreso! Xander and Ari must have enjoyed themselves almost as much as their mother!
I wish I would have been there! Then had I been, you COULD have been one of the kids, Michal. I mean, your mommy was accompanying you. What a wonderful experience. Miss you all.
ReplyDeleteIt was SUCH a good time. And haha, it's okay, Mom, I was still a kid myself. I helped Ari decorate his wand then oh no - had to finish it when he had had enough. ;)
