July 15th, 2011. The day is here--the last of Harry Potter on the big screen. I'm dying with anticipation to see it--in the days before kids, I would have been last night. So, in celebration (and to keep me occupied waiting until I can see the movie), here is my ultimate roundup of totally awesome Harry Potter themed food, activities, and parties!

Sweet Treats:
No Harry Potter party would be complete without some sweet treats. This is one of the many creative touches that JK put into the books that I absolutely adore. All the fantastical sounding foods & treats. There is a soft spot in my heart for the first movie and one of my favorite scenes is when all the food magically appears in the Great Hall. So fun!

If it's a Harry Potter party, there must be some butterbeer, right?! here are 4 awesome recipes to choose from.

The AMAZING party cake award goes to the adorable Darla at Bakingdom.
What?! You don't know why? You're not seeing why I would give an imaginary cake award to a white cake? Well, just wait until you cut it open...seriously, WOW!!!! All Houses of Hogwarts represented! So cool!
Don't forget wands, either. The Instructables has great directions for making wands from paper!

Wow, thanks for sharing!! That cake with all the house colors is amazing. I wish I was that talented or knew someone that could make that. it would be a hit. I had an HP party this week and we had some butterbeer which was actually really good!!
ReplyDeleteI have some fun HP posts this week about products and whatnot. I even have a post about a "magical-esque" jacket you can get for kids, in case you're interested!
