Check  out this web site, and look under potter parties on the left.

There are  very detailed parties with many recipes and instructions on   
decorations, games and invitations for adult Harry Potter  Parties.

_www.the-leaky-cauldron.org/_  (http://www.the-leaky-cauldron.org/) 


There are also many pictures  of the different decoration and how to make  
them, and tons of  pictures of the many, many food items.

Have a great time, I wish I was  in your area.


Thank you so much! I hadn't looked at the Potter Parties link in a very  long 
time and there is so much more there now! There are a lot of ideas I can  
incorporate too. I have a blackboard I can use for Transfiguration (it currently  
lets people know that it is the 12th Day of Christmas). I have a pack of  
green pens and a bag of feathers I can turn into quills. 
 
Making magic books is certainly easy plus I already have a box of books and  
bottles I use to decorate for Halloween (for example, I remove the labels from 
 bottles of cranberry juice and replace them with one that say "Dragon's 
Heart  Blood."  Apple juice becomes "Acromantula Venom," etc. There are canning  
jars filled with large plastic lizard tails, plastic bones, etc, and  
appropriately labeled too. Hmm, I'd better bring out all the skeletons too.  Those are 
mostly models such as The Visible Woman, the Visible Horse, Bat, etc. 
 
On the inside of one of my kitchen cupboards is a sign that I made that  
hangs year-round: Madame Pomfrey says "A clean cauldron keeps a potion from  
becoming a poison." It has a small picture of Madame Pomfrey on it too. Not  
strictly true as that sign was in the hospital but I am sure Madam Pomfrey  agrees. 
I'd like to make up more signs like that, both for our school nurse, who  is a 
HP fan, but for me too!  Any ideas would be appreciated. 
 
I've been wanting to sponge paint a stone wall pattern on my living room  
wall for some time now. I wonder if I could get it done before the party?  Hmm....
