Party Time!

The party was another great success! The guests were sorted as they came in, I made little flag pins for them to wear out of scrap fabric so they would know who else was in their house. All the food served was from the Unofficial Harry Potter Cookbook. It's a great book because it references where in the series that particular food is either eaten or mentioned. We served meat and veggie pasties, Kreacher's french onion soup, irish soda bread, pumpkin juice, butterbeer (alcoholic), pumpkin bread, Hagrid's rock cakes and golden snitch cakepops. With the cookbook I was able to make little reference labels for all the food. The alcoholic butterbeer was really good, and super easy; we used this recipe.

 

After everyone ate, we moved to the common room for games. We played Harry Potter Jeopardy and pictionary/charades. The four houses played against each other and a Head Girl/Boy was chosen as official answerer. I use powerpoint to create my Jeopardy games (you can find tutorials online) and plug my computer into the tv so everyone can see. Gryffindor won Jeopardy but Hufflepuff gave them a run for their house points at pictionary/charades.

 

All in all, it was a fantastic night with all of our Harry Potter friends!
