For book club we had a catch-up/movie night and I chose Harry Potter. As SPEW members our house elf gets off early, so we were on our own for the night.
Scott and John helped me cook and set up. Then they made themselves scarce for the ladies-only evening.
You entered Hogwarts through Platform 9 3/4 of course.
Trunk and supplies all packed.
The restricted section of the library.
Amanda brought some of her HP collection to help decorate.
There was an enchanted ceiling with floating candles,
a drink station,
cauldron cakes,
treacle tarts,
pumpkin pasties,
chocolate frogs,
ton-tongue toffee,
and of course butterbeer.
A few spoils from Honeydukes and Weasley's Wizard Wheezes (like U-No-Poo, "the constipation sensation that's gripping the nation!")
It was fun making some British treats we've wanted to try and remembering parts of our favorite book series.
How cute. What a good idea for Halloween.
ReplyDeleteI see you're getting in the mood for Orlando! What font did you use for the signs? Looks great!
ReplyDeleteI downloaded some free fonts from this site: http://members.outpost10f.com/~lindax/harrypotter/fonts.html
ReplyDeleteI used Hogwarts Wizard, Parry Hotter, Lumos and Magdeburg. They're fun to use.
I just realized that you have the fireplace blocked. Is that so Scott can't accidentally use the floo network?
