Harry Potter Party - Master List

My littlest sister is heading off to college.  Remember the cute rainy day umbrella I made for her?  I wanted to send her off to school in style, and what better way than to throw a Harry Potter Costume Party?

If you ever plan on having a Harry Potter party of your own feel free use this page as a reference.  I will post links to all of the party activities we did.  I will try to make everything easily accessible for you.  (I wish I had something like this when I planned my party.)

***As I add new posts about this party I will attach the links below for your convenience.***

Party Invitations and Prep:

• Send out invitations (I did this via Facebook, but you could do something like THIS.) 
• Let each person pick who they would like to be.  Here is a great List of Harry Potter Characters you can choose from.  (I wanted an even amount of good guys and bad guys to sort into their different houses.)  
• Our dinner was potluck.  Let each person pick a few things to bring to dinner.  Here is a List of Food in the Harry Potter books if you need some dinner ideas.
