Harry Potter Party!

[anathelia]

This sounds like an amazing idea and not only am I jealous that I don't live in the same country as you, I am also terribly jealous that I did not come up with this idea myself!

And that I don't have more awesomely nerdy friends to do something like this with.

I'm still excited about this!

I want to go round charity shops to start stocking up on random items. I think I want to have different corners of the rooms for different things. My house is all open plan and the food would be in the kitchen, so that would be the Great Hall. I might get some potted plants to put in one corner and call Professor Sprout's Greenhouse, and the conservatory will probably be the Slytherin Dungeon because all the potions (ie. drinks!) will be in there.

Also I was thinking about making the top of the stairs into the astronomy tower... if I can find a stuffed Dumbledore toy, it could be hanging so it looks like it's falling out the window.

Argh! So much stuff I want to do!

Sounds like a lot of great ideas and a fun party

 

[Diggin Deep]

Sounds like a blast...if I can think of anything, I'll let you know!

 

[Dana]

sounds like a nerdfest... I can get down with being nerdy but i don't get down like that....

Ahmahgad you know you'd think the excitement would be wavering but no, I'm still thrilled

For anyone interested, especially since I'm not getting as much time to be here these days, I started a Halloween blog last year and I'm continuing it this year with Hogwarts details. It's at:

I'm not even into Harry Potter, but that sounds like a lot of fun.

Books A Million has "Sorting Hats".

Do they now?!

I don't suppose you have a link do you Fred? I googled Books A Million but didn't have much luck finding a hat.

Firstly, I think you should invite me

Secondly, I like your ideas. Trying to rack my brains for more. You could always get a load of spiders and decorate one room (eg bathroom) to look like the spider lair of Aragog from the second book. Really REALLY freak people out.

I'm not coming!!!!! :willy_nilly:

I'll have to ask my friend what the website was, but she said they have a ton of authentic props for sale on this website, like all of the horcruxes and the wands and clothes and all that kind of stuff.

Could be the noble collection? I love it, full of replicas, but damn expensive

Also: I did not know google had a shopping tab!

 

[anathelia]

I'm not sure, I'll text her right now and ask her!

 

[anathelia]

That was it.

I think it'd be cool to get like the wand and the tie or something for your Halloween costume if you didn't already.

 

[anathelia]

Oh, and a time turner!

I would totally go to a Harry Potter Party
