Harry Potter Mania-Party pieces

So my Harry Potter party was a success....here are some of the many ideas that went down.

Honey Duke treats:
1. Bertie botts every flavor beans. I just bought some cheap-brand gourmet jellybeans and packaged them into these candy favor bags from walmart. I bought 2 small boxes of JellyBelly brand Bean-boozeled beans to mix in some "Suprising" flavors.
2. Chocolate frogs. I bought this mini frog mold off Amazon.com and just used candy melts. This mold also had some toads which would have been perfect for Peppermint toads.
3. Droobles best blowing gum. Just bagged up some bubble gum and slapped on a label.
4. Chocolate wands. Dipped some pretzel sticks with more candy melts. Super easy and fast. Swirled on some white chocolate melts for extra flair.


Weasley Wizard Wheezes:

1. Nosebleed Nougut. Just bagged up some strawberry cream Trolly Gummies.

2. Fainting Fancies. More Trolly pastel gummy rocks.

3. Firework Whizbangs. Used the idea from July Family Fun for this one.

Monster Book of monsters. Super easy and only cost a few dollars... Just need a sheet of fur (Got mine at Joanns...didn't even alter it), 2 googly eyes that are hot glued to the fur, and some red and white felt (also from Joanns) cut into teeth and hot glued to the fur. Slide this fur mess onto a book and wrapped a belt around it.

Felix Felicus key chains. Gold glitter in little bottles (Mine were empty Zofran bottles from work with size 0 corks). printed a label on vellum, sent it through my Xyron sticker machine and stuck it on there. Used the smallest round hoop screws and bought my keychains from Joanns in bulk. Another very cheap idea if the bottles are free.

Wands...these were made by my sister Alyssa from paper, Elmer's glue, hot glue and paint. Essentially she rolled the paper at an angle sealing it with Elmer's glue and then textured a handle on with hot glue. When dried she painted it with a variety of colors.

Homemade Tattoos... you can buy tattoo printer paper online. These were designs and phrases drawn by my sisters. They were just extra fun.

Quizzes...I just printed the HP6 quiz from the Scholastic website...leaving one with multiple choice as the O.W.L. level quiz and one without for the N.E.W.T. level.

Potion bottles. I have been buying strange and interesting bottles and vases from thrift stores the past few months for decoration. Then we filled them with herbs, colored water, oil, or a mix of those ingredients.

-I also made mini potions bottles like the Felix bottles for my healer costume.

Harry Potter Cardboard cutout from Zurchers party store...only cost $20 and added a very fun touch/photo opportunity...added some signs mentioned in book 6 and you have a scene.
