A Harry Potter Party in the Desert eating bender. A few weeks ago, an owl delivered a letter to our house. Not just any letter because then why would an owl have delivered it I had been waiting for since I was 1. The letter that proclaimed I had finally been accepted into Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. Soundtrack Naruto Download Rar more. That may be a slight exaggerationbut isnt the above party invitation incredible My friend Sheena printed the official letter, book list and party invitation on three sheets of parchment, as well as a train ticket from London to Hogwarts via Platform 9 34. She sealed everything up in an envelope embellished with wax and the Hogwarts seal. If you think thats creative, youre really in for a treat. Free Ps3 Promotion Codes 2013. The idea of a Harry Potter party was dreamed up about a month ago by Sheena, Shanley and me. As huge fans of the books and movies, it was something we had always wanted to do but had never fully wrapped our heads around how to do it. We got together for a brainstorm and the rest is Hogwarts history. It was decided that the party would be hosted at Shanleys house and that her and Sheena would be handling the bulk of the decor and design elements. I thought this was best considering that my art skills are most competitive with those of a small child with fingerpaints. My focus was on the food, drinks and Honeydukes candy bar twist my arm. I enlisted the help of Nicole, who I knew was not only an amazing cook but also an expert party planner. Between the four of us, we felt confident in our ability to make the party something special. Although the initial idea for the party happened back in early October, the actual components really only came together in the two weeks leading up to the big day especially where the food was concerned. Nicole and I spent most of Saturday morning and afternoon in the kitchen. Web oficial de la Universidade da Corua. Enlaces a centros, departamentos, servicios, planes de estudios.

Treacle Tarts with Ice Cream. Chocolate Frogs. Assorted Honeydukes CandyI would say that by far the most fun recipe to work on was the Sorting Hat pita bread. It was my first time ever making bread with yeast. I was terrified that I would knead wrong and it wouldnt rise, which made it all the more exciting when I looked into the bowl two hours later and saw the dough had doubled in size Nicole and I had a blast trying to shape this thing on the aluminum foil cone. As you can see above, it looked pretty close to the real deal before it went into the oven If we had to do it over again, we would try baking the whole thing standing up. The eyes and mouth lost a bit of their shape in the oven and because the hat was on its side, it expanded and became a bit more like Jabba the Hut. Still, we were quite fond of our Sorting Hat when all was said and done. I also really enjoyed creating the labels and signs for the drinks and food. Sheena found these amazing and free candy and drink printables that I made at home and cut out. I then ran their edges along an ink pad to give them an even more vintage look. I also decided to whip up some DIY candy bags. I found these awesome pink and white striped favor bags at Party City along with some adorable pink candy scoops and affixed the Honeydukes logo to them with glue. Yes, gluing I can definitely handle. That was the extent of my decor contribution, but I was pretty proud of how everything turned out With the party starting at 7 0. Nicole and I wrapped up our cooking by 5 0. Shanleys house. When we got there, Isquealed like a 1. Hogwarts for the first time. Simply walk through the wall between platforms 9 and 1. Hogwarts, make your way into the Great Hall. Sheenas Platform 9 34 sign and tapestry were absolutely brilliant, while Shanleys take on the floating candles and owl podium in the Great Hall was positively dreamy. I couldnt get over either of them and I have the multitude of pictures to prove it. Shanleys mom made the candles by painting paper towel and toilet paper rolls white and drippy with wax. She then strung them from the ceiling with LED lights. It was really impressive, and as it got progressively darker outside the hallway became more and more magical. Sheena also painted a tapestry to hang from the ceiling that looked like the night sky. She added in the stars the day of the party, painting them as if she were Michelangelo at the Sistine Chapel. Edited to add Many people have asked for more specifics about the night sky and floating candles. They were inspired by a post on a Harry Potter party website. Sheena and Shanley followed the instructions in the link exactly except for one thing instead of cutting out foam to look like candle wax, they just used a hot glue gun to put the wax design on each candle We walked a bit further in and found the Potions table with perfect bottle decor from Shanleyas well as The Standard Book of Spells, Grade 1. Next to that we had a staircase transformed into Aragogs lair inside the Forbidden Forest. And at the table beyond was seated none other than a real Sorting Hat, handmade by Sheena There were signs posted all over the house, including headlines from the Daily Prophet, proclamations from Dolores Umbridge and advertisements for the Quidditch World Cup. And of course, an entrance to the Ministry of Magic via the toilet network Last but not least in terms of decor unrelated to food, we had the wand and house badge table. Sheena made Ollivanders wands using dowels, hot glue, paint and a variety of different types of wood and magical cores, of course. The wand chooses the witch or wizard, and ultimately I came into possession of a mahogany wand, 1. Phoenix tail feather core. She also created magnetized foam badges representing the houses, S. P. E. W., prefects, Quidditch captains and more. Only time would tell exactly who might show up to our party Nicole and I were blown away by everything, to say the least. Now it was our turn to set up the food and drinks, and so we made our way over to Three Broomsticks. This gorgeous sign was created by Shanley, and every detail down to the lantern was crazy accurate. Once again I found myself squealing visiting the Wizarding World of Harry Potter was a real treat, but as unforgettable as that adventure was there is also something to be said about Shanley and Sheenas ability to bring the world of Harry Potter here to Arizona. Nicole and I began by setting up the drinks station under the Three Broomsticks sign. First task butterbeer We whipped up a giant batch in a punch bowl with a side of delicious whipped cream, and created a sample out of my souvenir mug. From there, we set out the non alcoholic drinks Gillywater also includeda cauldron of pumpkin beers Blue Moon and Shock Topand my personal favorite, Veritaserum, a cocktail that unlocks the truth. We set out vials of water with food coloring to give the effect of potion making vials from Party City.
