For years, my little sister and I talked about hosting a Harry Potter party—or even a marathon of the films—just for fun. We are huge fans and went to a midnight party for the release of the final book, which was incredibly fun. I’ll always remember that party; she dressed as Tonks, and I went as a Sirius Black groupie. We spent the entire day and night in a Harry Potter induced haze, and then read into the next day. We even read the first chapter on the way home out loud to one another.
This weekend, my sister threw such a party at her home. It was a lot of fun, despite the fact that we had to leave early. Here are a few tips you can take for your similar party from my sister.
Use HP themed beverages and treats. My sister cooked us some Butterbeer from a recipe used in the HP cookbook; you can also look them up online. She also made polyjuice potion (punch) and other goodies.
