Best way to Decorate Harry potter Theme to your Home

Plan Your Party First

Before you plan out any party, it is important to figure out the number of guests you’re planning to invite and how much you’re roughly planning to spend per head apart from the decorations. Once your budget is settled, decide on what you’d all enjoy doing together and choose those activities.

You can then get started with the invitations. If you’re determined and brave enough to make your guest invitations by hand, go ahead, by all means. For the others, you can print out templates available conveniently online or buy Harry Potter themed invitations to send out to the guests.

Cook Up a Delightful Menu

There is no dearth to the inspiration and baking lessons available online for a Harry Potter party. Food is a major part of any get-together and it can make or break a party. That is why you must pay extra attention to getting everything right! You can get your special Harry Potter ordered at your local bakery. This will save you time so that you do other treats for your kids.

Learn to decorate balloons and table with cookies, cupcakes and snacks in Harry Potter themes using readily-available ideas. It is also possible to easily order them from certain homemade food sellers at affordable prices. Nothing like leaving the task to professionals to do well! There are other little things you can do to delight your guests. Here’s one trick – Add a pinch of food colouring (different colours for different glasses) under the ice cubes. Enjoy their surprised faces when you pour soda and their drinks turn up in different colours!

Hats and Magic Wands

None of us are likely to forget the special way through which the Hogwarts boarders reach the station from Platform 9 ¾. Now how cool would it be if you can usher your guests in through something like that? Luckily for you, this involves no magic and major expense either. Simply use a couple of sheets, old paint and a sponge for the effect. Cut a vertical slit in the middle and you can thrill your guests even before they even enter in!

The next thing is to welcome your guests with a party hat each, except you don’t want to offer something typical. You can either get a bunch of witch and wizard hats at any Halloween costumes store or make your own using cardboard, paint and elastic bands if you have the time. For double the fun, you can also get a bunch of magic wand sticks to go with it. Which kid or adult wouldn’t think it was supercooled to have one’s own wand?

You can also have a sorting hat ceremony with an attached mini speaker inside announcing which house the guest belongs to! That’s bound to be a thrilling experience.

Fun Photo Props

What’s a party without a photo session? You can buy or make your own props to use in the photo booth. You can print out a Harry Potter themed backdrop or buy one online for the photo booth wall. Include a wizard/witch black robe, an oversized hat, lightning-shaped tattoo, round spectacles and a wand, and you’re all set to go! This is guaranteed to be lots of fun!

Party Games for All

The party games decide how much the guests enjoy and remember your party, so make sure you have some great plans. For kids, you could easily plan out a fun variation of ‘pin the donkey’s tail’ by getting a poster of Harry Potter ready and ask them to try and place his glasses in the right spot, blindfolded.

If you have a large backyard, you can organize something much better – a mild version of Quidditch! This is easily achieved with the help of some painted Hula Hoops fixed on the ground and a few balls. There are plenty of backyard Quidditch game ideas available online.

Best Favors Ever!

Thanks to the Harry Potter craze, there are hundreds of inexpensive trinkets like key chains, fridge magnets, stickers, and tattoos available for purchase anywhere. Combine them with candies, jelly beans, chocolate bars, or Ferrero Rocher chocolates transformed into golden snitches with the help of a couple of feathers all make great favours. For best effect, you might want to choose cool party bags, tubs, or make your own broomstick-shaped ones if you’re willing to go all the way to make it special.
