4 Top Harry Potter Party Tips to Wow your Guests

Timmy here!

It may be Half Term, but the magic of Hogwarts and a Harry Potter party never takes a break! A great Harry Potter party is all about the personal touches, so if you are stuck from some finishing touches, but on a budget then look no further. Platform 9 and 3/4 here we come.....Ding!

4 Top Tips straight out of our Chamber of Secrets that will wow your guests:

Create a Brick effect Harry Potter Party Backdrop

Guide your guests from Platform 9 and 3/4 to Hogwarts, passing through the wall to a great party! They are great to capture photos of your Harry Potter themed party. Why not add some photo props and use the wall as the perfect backdrop for selfies!

This also makes a great door entrance decoration! There are loads of ways you can do this, my favourite is with a White Sheet, Sponge and Red paint. You could even get your Harry Potter Party lover to help you and make an activity of it!

2) Make Harry Potter house themed ties

These make great party bag favours. But of course, don't forget to get party bags to hold them. I love nothing more than getting creative with felt, and this one ticks the box for me! You can get a simple guide here.

You could even pre cut the felt and ties, and make a party game - who can make the best Harry Potter tie! Just make sure that if your guests are like me, you have them bring some old clothes and cover anything you don't want decorated too, just in case! We don't do it on purpose, promise! A couple of extra Tablecovers from our range to cover a Table, or the floor should do the trick!

3) Make your own Harry Potter wands

The perfect party bag filler. Don't forget, the wand chooses the wizard! Why not blindfold your guests and see what wand they will choose them! The anticipation and excitement will also be a talking point and is great to break the ice if some children don't know others!

4) Make your own Magical Potion jars

The secret to success with these is two part, use vibrant colours, and label your potions using an adhesive label. Top tip - keep up the wizard school theme and use a Craft Style adhesive label.
