Before I had a clue about HP, I was on a homeschooling list where 
suggestions for HP party activities, food, etc. went around.  I 
remember wondering what the heck butterbeer was--I still do--but 
people suggested serving cream (=vanilla) soda (=pop, "Coke," fizzy 
drink), which sounds great to me and is now the way I imagine 
butterbeer tasting.

You could make some British dessert that appears in the books, if the 
kids will eat treacle tart (I'm not even going to suggest spotted 
dick).  Recipes abound right here on the list.

Activities:  Sort everyone, if tempers won't flare among those who 
don't get put in Gryffindor; give them all broomsticks and let them 
play Quidditch in the backyard...
