With the opening of the 6th Harry Potter movie this week, we decided it would only be appropriate to celebrate with a full on wizarding party equipped with Butterbeer, Chocolate Frogs, and a Golden Snitch Cake. Everyone arrived as their favorite HP character and we allgorged ourselves on Honeyduke's sweets while taking an O.W.L. on the infamous Harry Potter himself. The most knowledgeable wizard received an extra large Dementor Relief Bar and anoriginal bag of Bertie Bott's Every Flavor Bean. We also had a bubble blowing contest with Drubble's Best Blowing Gum and voted on the Best Costume. The winner of that was of course Harry Potter himself and his owl Hedwig (Cam & Betty). We finished off the party by showing the 5th Harry Potter in order to prepare ourselves for the upcoming 6th. What a super fun party!
The Invitation
Much cuter than in the movie :-)
From left to Right: Victor Krum, Luna Lovegood, & Moaning Murtle; Lilly & James Potter; Harry Potter & Luna Lovegood; Hogwarts Students
(Please notice the crests in the background...they took FOREVER to make!)
Mr. & Mrs. Weasley, Harry Potter, & Dobby the house elf
(Notice Caleb's red hair, we were about to do mine when I glanced at the bottle where it said do not spray on fine or light blonde hair...ummmm, just wasn't worth it to me...dang it! It would have been so great!)
Winners of the Best Costume Award
Harry & his owl Hedwig (perched on his shoulder of course)
Dobby's all worn out
Drubble's best blowing gum contest...although this is a huge bubble, he didn't even win!
Relaxing and getting ready to watch HP #5
So the only downside to this party was Coop having to have his first experience with throwing up. We narrowed it down to 2 things; #1 He either ate way too much candy (it was all just sitting out and who knows how many times he went back for more) or #2 He got a hold of a Mr. Goodbar (peanut allergy). Either way he ended up throwing up all over my sweet goodwill costume (nice to be able to just throw that away) and later on in the night all over his pillow and bed. Poor kid! He was totally fine the next day though. Other than that, we think the party was a big hit.
