| 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).

| This is Matilda talking in Harry's voice reciting spells. Actual spells. |
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.
Broomstick parking with a Nimbus 1800.

What a gorgeous HP birthday! What a lucky little girl to have such a crafty mom! I bet she had a fantastic time. You can see the joy on her face. :) I'll probably be borrowing a few of your treats and ideas for an upcoming Halloween party! GREAT JOB!
I have a few HP posts as well:

SUPER cute party!! Looks like it was a lot of work!
Great job!
Melissa -- I thought this was stuff you pinned for inspiration. But this is Matilda's actual party. You did such a great job!!! We really do need to start that event planning business together. :)
I cannot believe how big C & M are! I miss talking to you everyday <3 <3
I am doing a Harry Potter party the first weekend of December for my daughter's fifth birthday. She chose it last year after her birthday party, thankfully I've had lots of time to prepare. I am so glad to see that your daughter also dressed as Harry because some family members were giving us a hard time for that choice.
