Need a Wizard to whip up the great party you're looking for? And Magical Powers to get it all together in time? And a GREAT DEAL during our limited time RECESSION PRICING SPECIAL? Abracadabra....
The Harry Potter Party
from the Birthday Party Games Lady
The Harry Potter Party, complete with several different choices of Quidditch games, is designed for Harry Potter lovers age 8 through 11 in 3rd through 6th grade, with game choices based on their age.
And they DON'T have to be Potter fanatics to LOVE the games!
They can participate in various Hogwart's rituals, scoring point for their House, be it Ravenclaw, Griffindor or Hufflepuff- no one wants to be in Slytherin! The kids have to take their chances with the Sorting Hat, draw on their knowledge of Harry Potter lore (limited to Book 1 for this age group), make potions and cast spells, and of course, play Quidditch. Plus, a mystery to solve at the end of the party.
They have a WONDERFUL time doing this! Before I give you the full-blown description of the actual Harry Potter Party games, here are the
Quick Facts- so you know exactly what's involved
- Preparation is a bit more involved than my other parties- about 3-4 hours to create your Hogwart's (depending which games you chose to include in your party) Click here to see the exact preparation required for this Harry Potter Party.
- a bit more complex to prepare than the other party packages, and you'll need to purchase supplies for your "potions" (cheap stuff) and for the optional craft project (not so cheap). A list of everything you'll need is included.
- cheaper than all the usual party "extras" you now don't have to buy. Click here to see why.
- available for IMMEDIATE download in either .pdf format or as WORD files. NO SNAIL MAIL- the download is easy and requires no computer expertise. Check it out here.
- they DON'T need to be Potter fanatics to have a great time
- best for 10 and 20 children for 2 teams of 5 to 10 kids each
- it will run between 1 and 2 hours, plus cake and ice cream or any other food you intend to serve, depending which games you choose and how many kids.
- The Harry Potter Party is for both inside or outside play so you can plan it for outdoors but still be O.K. if it rains!
They love it- mine sure did! With all the Harry Potter hype out there- you know they'll be all excited and ready to have a super time at your Harry Potter Party!
Enter the Magical World of Hogwarts First Year
Muggles No More!
|
Greet your guests with a Hogwarts banner as they enter the World of Wizardry at your Harry Potter Party. And just like Harry, they need their Wizarding supplies. So start the transformation of these Muggles in Diagon Alley with a craft project that will actually be used later in the party.
Based on Styrofoam forms available at your local craft store, just give them a table or the floor, glue and/or pins and assorted items for decoration (all outlined in the instructions) and they'll turn themselves into Wizards-in-training! |
Hogwarts Rituals
Hogwarts greets their first year students with a traditional feast of roast pig and roast beef and on and on and on....Your first year kids only need a little snack after their arrival. But it's a snack that is magic itself- and it begins the mystery they will solve at the end of your party. And just like Harry et al, while they dine their fate is determined by the Sorting Hat, and the team competition between the Hogwarts Houses begins. You'll receive complete instructions for this magic snack- very easy.
|
 |
Now, it's time to test the Wizarding abilities of these recruits. For the younger set, a game of floor Concentration with images from the story. Making the images full page size and placing everything on the floor makes the spatial challenge just a little more difficult for your wizards. The older kids can play Jeopardy with progressively more difficult Potter trivia, and earn points for their Houses in both games. All game pieces for both games are included- just print them out
It's Time for Class
|
Start in Professor Snape's potions class. I've scoured the web for the best kitchen chemistry, and aside from the usual Slime and levitating raisins- both good fun- I've found one that really should amaze them. All directions are included.
Professor McGonagall's Transfiguration class is next- a k a Charades with a Spell-making twist. It may sound simple, but it's challenging enough for the older end of the party's age spectrum yet the younger ones can do it at their level too. |
Quidditch
No Harry Potter Party would be complete without it- but I've only seen outdoor, backyard versions- so I've devised two different indoor Quidditch games for your wizards.
|
|
Both utilize the craft project the kids made at the beginning of your party and other NON-DAMAGING, readily attainable equipment. One requires a bigger space than the other: basements, garages, even rec or living rooms (with valuable breakables removed) will work just fine. And there's an outdoor version included if that's your plan.
|
Mystery Finale
When Quidditch has played itself out and the game score has been tallied, the Owl Express delivers “You Know Who's” curse and starts the mystery rolling. After collecting well hidden clues, the first team to solve the puzzle wins big points for their House.
Compute the House scores for all the games, and serve your birthday cake and ice cream. No need to make a big deal out of who won and who didn't- they've all had a great time!
The Invitation that gets them all excited
All done in the requisite emerald green ink, delivered by Hedwig, and including their "ticket" for the Hogwart's Express on Track 9 3/4. The kids will start talking about your Harry Potter party the minute they get this, and all the curiosity gets them ready to participate and be part of the group when they arrive.

Parent's Comments:
"Fabulous party the kids had a blast the best laid out party we ever had...thanks for the business cards I have been handing them out...Can't wait until next year to do it all again with one of your other packages."
-from Colette in Mass.
"It's true what you say. They may be 10 and 11, but this party really does transport them to Hogwarts and a whole magical world. I haven't seen my son and his friends this engaged in "pretend" since they were really little, and it was magic!! Don't tell them, but they're not as grown up as they think! It was a wonderful birthday."
-from Anne in San Jose

"The party was great!!!!!!!!! All the helpers dressed up. I covered the opening to my front door with butcher paper that I have drawn brick onto. Then I cut a slit in the paper and put a sign above it saying platform 9 3/4. It was really cool!!! The kids loved it. ..... Thanks again, I know you will be hearing from me again."
-from Donna in Utah
|
"The party went well. ... All in all, the kids enjoyed the games. You did a good job organizing the site and download directions."
-from Yvette in Philly
|
"The Harry Potter Party was a big success ! The kids had a great time! ... Some of the kids' moms have told me that they were talking about the party for days !!! Thanks a bunch for making my daughter's party exciting! "
- from Theresa in Baltimore
|
"It was an awesome party, and was enjoyed by all , -- some who had never read or seen Harry Potter, and one who had read all the books numerous times...I'm glad I got smart this year, and saved myself lots of time by using your tried and tested ideas, games, graphics, recipes and directions. I'm a very satisfied customer. "
- from Amy in Baltimore

"The kids had a fantastic time at the party! Although there was a fair amount of prep, you had given me fair warning and I planned accordingly ... Having the party package saved me an incredible amount of time and stress ... The party directions and supply list made prep straightforward and easy, and having all the information on the computer was a real time saver ...We planned for 2 1/2 hrs but did not finish the party in that time. This was mostly our fault. We took our time with crafts at the beginning of the party and moved through the activies at a slower than normal pace ... The result was a few bloopers ... [but] I was so organized that I could skip activities or modify activities as we went so it was not a big deal. The kids had a great time."
-from Monica in Indiana

"Starting with the sorting hat to assign them to their Hogwart's houses, , the party really was magical! They laughed so hard during the spells game I wasn't sure we'd even get to the next game. And the concentration they had solving the mystery finale was amazing. It's true- give them puzzles and activities that use their brains and they'll get really involved. I had 15 9 year old boys, and to my amazement, no troublemakers, no spats, just a whole lot of fun. Thank You. "
-from Sandy in Albany

"Your party package made it SO EASY!"
-from Joy in Florida

"I had your Survivor Party last year, and yes the Harry Potter party takes longer to put together but it was well worth it. We even did some of the prep together and that was a nice bonus for me. The kids really enjoyed the activities, and it meant the world to me to see my daughter so happy on her birthday."
-from Janet in Portland
|
"We had a couple of kids at our party that really weren't Harry Potter fans- they'de only seen a couple of the movies, and I was worried they wouldn't participate. But they had just as much fun as the rest who'd read all the books. And several parents told me their children commented on how nice it was to do something really different at a birthday party. Thanks for your good ideas and well organized package."
-from Christine in Kansas City
