This is a table leg I found in someone's garbage along side of the road(I'm a garbage picker, lol), I spray painted it gold. Screwed on a plant pot and spray painted that gold and voila...the goblet of fire. I meant to add flames, but ran out of time.
This is one of the wands I made for every guest.
Hogwarts feast.
The spell book I made for every guest, this book included all the harry potter spells, there pronunciation and their meaning.
Kind of sorry I didn't get to take a picture before potions class was actually started. I had about five bottles with a pack of koolaid in each. I labeled each bottle. Example: dried dragon blood, fairy dust, ground wiggentree bark, ground slug, dried flubberworm mucus. I had each child a potion bottle and I added water for them and they were so repulsed they wouldn't even taste it. Of course I didn't tell them it was koolaide!
I didn't get a picture of the transfiguration class(although I could have swarm that I had). For this I had each child a plastic cauldron. At Halloween I had bought these pill shaped things that when immersed in water they turn into snakes, or ghost, or witches, etc... I put them in three real pill bottles and told the children that prior to their arrival a wizard had turn them into something more than regular muggle pills, and I'd labelled the pills. The dark pills: demonic pills the white pills: magic pills. and all other colors were combined and I labeled them: enchanted pills.
I'd also sat up a pumpkin patch like garden around a small door under my stairs and sat about 12 trolls in it. the children got to de-gnome the garden and the child who got the most in the whole got to visit the bonus bean room.
This is the potion book I made for each guest.

I totally loaded this room with jelly beans. the kids had a blast!
The official invitation.The day was a blast and the children all said it was the best birthday party they'd ever been too. one child even told his mom it was the best day of his life. they all cried when they had to leave.
I think I enjoyed it as much as they did.
