This Friday the theme for Kelly's "Show Us Where You Live" is children's birthday parties. Last weekend I took my oldest son Grant to a Harry Potter event at the public library and I thought that a lot of the things they did would be great ideas for a Harry Potter themed birthday party.
Here's my guy in his homemade Harry Potter costume. There is a griffin on his shirt and Harry is in the Gryffindor house so it seemed appropriate. The cape is from an old ninja costume. For some reason Grant felt it was very important that he wear a belt (he usually doesn't). I used an eye makeup pencil to apply the "scar" to his forehead. We did buy the glasses from a party supply store.

First the kids each picked which house they were in, notice the evil Slytherin house was not an option.
Grant got Gryffindor, yeah!
There were three stations set up and each house went to a different station and then they switched stations when they completed the one they were at.
The first station for Grant was potions. I think the librarian is dressed as professor Trelawney, she looked great.
She mixed up some slime for the kids.
The Gryffindors got red slime. The Hufflepuffs got yellow and the Ravenclaws got blue.
The next station was history of magic.
There was a Harry Potter word search and a coloring sheet.
The last station for Grant was herbology, where the kids planted a basil seed.
There was a costume contest.
I think my Harry Potter was the cutest. I'm sure the other mothers there felt the same about their child..........but they're wrong! ;)BTW: I'm having my first ever GIVEAWAY on Saturday!
