As many 11-year-olds have dreamt, Libby and 10 of her friends received their Hogwarts letters a few weeks ago.
The young witches and wizard arrived excited and dressed in capes and house colored ties. They passed through platform 9 3/4 to enter. Our own Voldemort waited in the shadows to scare the living daylights out of them.
The guests proceeded to Ollivanders to prepare their wands.
The great room was decorated with floating candles. These little buggers were a bit of a pain and a few fell down.
Some guests RSVP came via owl!
We had a Honey dukes counter.
We had these amazing cookies as a favor. Along with these amazing mugs with vinyl decals for the Three Broomsticks and The Leaky Cauldron. My talented generous co-worker made these happen for us. They looked so fun filled with butterbeer!
The whole group showing off their divination balls.
My mom came to help and she got really into it! She even started reading the books! The two of us had so much fun setting it all up.
My sweet girl loved every minute.
This was one of my favorite birthday parties to host. It was like stepping out of the mundane into a world of ancient spells and polyjuice potions.
