Harry Potter-style invitation decor?
Prepare them in advance so that guests understand what event they are invited to, and in what style the party will be held.
Take:
- A4 sheets;
- a printer;
- jute rope;
- sealing wax;
- large coin.
Sealing wax can be bought, asked at the post office, or used instead of plastic.
It will be necessary to age the sheets. This can be done in various ways. One of the simplest is to paint them with a brush in some places with tea. First, you can casually trim their edges, and then do this procedure.
Another way is to bake the sheets for a short while in the oven. But be careful not to burn them.
Write the text of congratulations and print it on the printer. If this is not possible, then write by hand.
Come up with a password by which you will let the invitees. Write it on a letterhead.
Now roll each invitation into a tube and tie it with a jute rope. Melt the sealing wax ahead of time. Place it gently on the end of the string and press down with a coin to create a seal like this.
If you could not get some sealing wax, then take plastic of a suitable color and make seals out of it. Use one that cures in air.
An owl can bring a birthday invitation. Of course, it will not be real.
Inflate balloons and draw an owl on each face using markers or felt-tip pens. Tie these blanks with colored ribbons, and at their ends you will fasten envelopes with invitations. Can be rolled up and used.
Another option is to make an applique for an owl, and glue an invitation rolled up on its paws.
You can print the following invitations on a printer or on aged paper and glue them onto rectangles of cardboard. Write to whom they are addressed.
To do this, use a stencil or paint on a brick and apply it to the base. You can just buy such a fabric and use it. Cut the curtain in the middle so that guests can freely enter the room.
When they enter the room, they will see magical attributes. There will be magic wands, a ball with predictions, a sign where it is written that you need to save Dobby.
After going a little further, guests will find themselves in the room. Make it Hogwarts in advance. If you expect a lot of guests and you have a spacious room, immediately divide the room into several zones. You need to take fabrics of certain colors and sew tablecloths from them.
The black and yellow area is Hufflepuff, tables decorated in blue and white will represent Ravenclaw. Green and gray are Slytherin.
You can fix LED candles or those that run on electricity on the walls.
Harry Potter Birthday Dress Code
Think about what the invitees will be wearing. They can bring the costumes with them, or you can make the outfits yourself and hand them out to those who come in advance or at the entrance. You can take a burgundy sweater and yellow thread, embroider your initials on it. The Weasley wore a similar sweater in the movie.
It is easy to make robes for children from black fabric, make ties from cardboard, like Harry Potter.
To make these ties, take burgundy ties, apply stripes on them with a colored marker. Alternatively, you can use white ties and dye them burgundy.
You can also make the clothes you want by spraying. Tape the front of the jacket with tape to create a picture like this. Then spray the paint. When you remove the tape, this pattern will remain.
Scarves are also suitable as attributes for costumes. These are easy to knit from burgundy and yellow threads.
First, you will need to knit 10 cm with a burgundy thread, then replace it with yellow, knit the same amount, then use burgundy again. When the scarf is ready, close the knit. Decorate the scarf with burgundy and yellow tassels.
A Harry Potter birthday will be unforgettable. Have Professor Dumbledore meet the guests at the entrance. To do this, you can dress up one of the elders in the appropriate outfit.
Take a black cloth and fold it in half. Cut a hole in the center for the head, sew the fabric in half. From the remnants of the canvas, you will sew a hat and decorate it with braid and thread. If you don't have a fake beard and mustache, a piece of fabric that needs to be cut into strips is fine.
Print out Dumbledore's portrait on a printer and frame it. Hang in a prominent place.
Children can be greeted not only by the wall to the platform, but also by Diagon Alley. Draw it this way on a light wall. The outlines of houses and trees can be made from wire by folding it accordingly.
On one of the walls, glue the image of Harry Potter, an owl, and various magical attributes.
On the other wall, you can hang pictures of his friends and other characters.
How to set the table and what to cook for a Harry Potter birthday?
You can take one large table and decorate it with red and yellow tablecloths. Use dishes of the same color.
To decorate your birthday in the Harry Potter style further, make brooms from skewers and threads. Cut the light, wide threads so that they are the same length. Fold several pieces into bundles and attach them to the skewers, tied with other threads.
In red and yellow tones, you can knit not only a scarf and make a sweater, but also candlesticks. You will create them from the rest of the thread.
Prepare a few small glass jars ahead of time and fill each with a magic potion. It can be cranberry juice, lemon juice, tarragon with a sprig of this plant. Also useful is rose water, lilac tea with the addition of violet flowers.
Cover these jars with cork lids on top and tie them with string and paper.
The cast iron will act as a boiler. This attribute will come in handy if you start playing forfeits with children. You will fold them inside. And then you can put gingerbread here and give them to children.
Cover the plastic cups in advance with white strips of paper with the words of the drink and place them on the tables.
You can create a menu like in a restaurant. Let the drinks match the holiday, but with a humorous touch.
As a snack, you can arrange slices of carrots and cucumbers in glass glasses.
If you need to make a quick snack, then ready-made puff or yeast dough and sausages will help out. Roll out the dough and cut it into strips, each wrapped around the sausage. Insert 2 raisins on one side of the rounded dough strip to form the eyes of the snake. Put a piece of red pepper in her parted mouth.
You will make magic envelopes from puff pastry. Buy ready-made, roll each into a rectangle. Place a piece of cheese inside and connect all four corners in the center.
Create another attribute from the Harry Potter story. We offer to make brooms from chocolate salted sticks. To do this, melt the chocolate and put it in silicone molds, place the sticks on top and remove the sweetness in the refrigerator until it solidifies.
For a delicious Harry Potter birthday, make these cakes. If you don't want to cook, you can buy and decorate them this way.
Draw glasses on the file and cover this template with melted chocolate after pouring it into a pastry syringe. When the workpiece hardens, it will turn into glasses. And from colored plastic you will create scarves and a kind of zipper.
Put popcorn in a pot. Decorate the table with tall candles in beautiful candlesticks.
Turn candy into attributes of the Harry Potter book - the Snitch. Cut out such wings from white paper and glue them to these sweets.
Garnish regular cocoa with whipped cream and turn it into a beautiful magical drink. Make vanilla cream, top with ice cream for a wonderful birthday dessert that you can make quickly.
Of course, cake will be the main attribute of the festive table. You can make a rectangular cake, then cover it with whipped cream or condensed milk. Decorate the top with attributes from this story made from colored sugar paste.
You can make a real Candy Bar by putting here not only food on a given theme, but also various emblems and paraphernalia.
On old scraps of paper, write which dish is in front of the guests. Arrange your treats in beautiful themed containers.
Harry Potter Birthday Script - Contests and Games
Design contests ahead of time to channel the kids' fun in the right direction. For the following, you will need:
- large and small branches;
- twine;
- chocolate;
- key shape.
Melt the chocolate and pour it into the key molds. While it cools down, tie small ones to a large branch. Now tie each key with string and attach to this base.

Magic tricks
You can invite a magician in advance, who will surely surprise those present. It is also easy to do simple tricks with your own hands. Prepare everything you need and also surprise the guests.
Search
Let the guys find the hidden invisibility cloak. But for this they will have to remember and tell exactly how Harry Potter got it. They will remember that the owl brought it to him. So you need to find this particular bird or its trace. And you should print a picture of an owl in advance and put it near the mantle so that the children can find it.
They will also be interested in looking for an elderberry stick. Let the children remember again how she got the main character of the work. He received it after defeating Draco Malfoy. Print out Draco's portrait in advance and hang it somewhere in the room. There will be a stick nearby.
Preparing the potion
This lesson and at the same time the game will also be sure to please the children. And then the house of Harry Potter, and in fact the home of the hero of the occasion, will give a lot of interesting things. With the help of the Quest, send the children to a secret room where there will be no light. You can use a flashlight from your phone. Have the children find the printed recipe. And then they will look for spiders, snakes, frogs, flies, from which they will prepare a potion. Of course, these characters will be toys or made from edible materials.
Children will love to play Quidditch. The next competition is best held outdoors.
Quidditch game
Prepare in advance:
- plastic cups;
- tennis balls;
- wire;
- foil.
Twist round blanks from wire, wrap them in foil and put them in bottles. Can be painted with gold paint. The balls also need to be painted and paper should be glued to them in the form of wings. Now children will begin to throw these balls through the rings into the cups. Who will be the most accurate will win.
