| Matilda as Harry |
My youngest just turned 3 and has been wanting a Harry Potter party for the last 6 months. Well, she got it. We had a blast putting this together and I think it was a hit. (I plan on fixing the order of the pictures, add pics of our invites and favors, and add more text...bear with me).

I made the wands for all of the kids to take home. I took a 48 inch wooden dowel and cut it into 1/4's. Then I sanded the tip into a rounded point, added wooden beads and some hot glue, then spray painted. They were a HUGE hit, but I should've given them to the kids AFTER the party as favors.
I made that Sorting Hat out of a paper bag and staples. Awesome.
Just some of the food: Sirius Black's dog chow (chex muddy buddies), Hedwig's chocolate lollipops in an owl nest, and the Rice Krispy Snitch.
Notice Mad Eyes' chocolate eyes in the background:)
THE Snitch. Made from Rice Krispy treats, dyed yellow, and melted chocolate for the wings. A hit!
Luna's glasses that I made. Bertie Bott's Every Flavour Beans, and Moaning Myrtle's milk chocolate (Hersheys bites) served in a toilet cup.
Matilda REALLY wanted a Scabbers cake, which is her pet name.

THE coolest candle from Party City. It is a sparkler in the shape of a 3.

Some of the decorations, letters for Harry hanging from the ceiling, a Diagon Alley sign that I made, along with wanted posters.
