The Magical World of Harry Potter can be used as a theme for a fun and creative Halloween party.

Although J.K. Rowling has finished her famous novel series, Harry Potter, the popularity of the title continues.  With part one of the 7th feature film expected this fall, many kids are returning to the series once again.  And it is not just kids that are reading and re-reading the series, many teens and adults have a great love for the series.

This widely shared love of the series leads itself very nicely to a themed costume party.  Lots of decoration and costumes can be extracted directly from the world of Harry Potter. For example, ghosts, goblins, witches, wizards, brooms, hats, skeletons, spiders, cobwebs, and magic potions fit the theme of both Halloween and Harry Potter. Other decorative touches that are directly related to Harry Potter include items such as: Hogwarts crests, posters, owls, frogs, etc.

Harry Potter Halloween parties can be announced using Harry Potter themed invitations. These may include fonts and images found online that are related to the world of Harry Potter. Ensure that invitations inform your guests of the date, time and place of the party. To help you with preperations, ask your guests to RSVP, this way you will know how much to prepare. If you are having a children’s event, the parents of your guests need to be informed of the special arrangements that you have made for the party.

To keep the Harry Potter theme running throughout the party, you can plan many different activities such as: watching the Harry Potter movies, reading books, discussing details of the story and film, making Harry Potter-related crafts, playing Harry Potter games video, and looking at online fan sites.

Crafts do not have to be complicated. You can get everyone to do a Harry Potter style wand for them nothing more than a stick of wood and some paint.
