How To Create a Harry Potter Themed Party Ready for September 1st
September 1st is quickly approaching, for you Potterheads out there, you will know what this means. This date means it is Back to Hogwarts Day! In celebration of this special day, we have created this article to give you an idea to create a Harry Potter themed party.
From movie marathons, to themed food, to immersive games, there are so many ways to create your own personalised Harry Potter themed gathering to enjoy with your fellow witches and wizards. Without further ado, “Accio” list!
You will need:
Harry Potter Themed Snacks
Now, there are different ways to bring Harry Potter inspired snacks to the party. Whether you decide to bake your own food or purchase licensed confectionery, the possibilities are endless.
We personally love Chocolate Frogs, jellybeans inspired by Bertie Botts, Butterbeer which is a delicious butterscotch-flavoured drink that is alcohol-free, treats in the four house colours, and some supermarkets even stock Harry Potter themed celebration cakes which can be shared among your guests.
Harry Potter Themed Decor
Now it is time to prepare your room to decorate! If you need, rearrange your furniture to create an open space to fit your guests in and ensure everyone has somewhere to sit, a surface to put their drinks and snacks on, etc.
Let’s talk about decor. Firstly, invite your guests by recreating personalised Hogwarts letters, it’s thoughtful, creative, and it’s a nice keepsake to remember the day by. Then, think about what type of Harry Potter theme you want to go for. Do you want to decorate in the Hogwarts house colours? Do you want to recreate The Great Hall? Do you want to decorate in a minimalistic way that pays homage to the franchise in a more subtle way?
