Harry potter party review

And .. by God's grace.. the party was a hit!

Started with a Harry potter invite 2 weeks before the party.  Designed by akshaya and me.

We had a Harry potter trivia at first to pass time while waiting for shruthi.  each corrcr answer got thema  gringot. Then we started. 

1. Hats. They each wore their hats they had made in our place with us.

2. Wands choose the wizard and witch. We spun the wand and it chose the wizard or witch it pointed to.

3. Platform 9 3/4. This was so fun! Rushed through our platform 9 3/4 one after the other. We did it three times. altogether

4. Then the sorting. Cup cake icing sorting.

Then we had an early break because shruthi still wasn't here.

Then shruthi came we gave her her wand let her be sorted ran through platform 9 3/4 again

5.  Then was table quiiditch.  Teams. Included sendhil kavitha my mother and sutha and saro  room three to a team. Each player gets 5 balls.  Point for every ball through a hoop. 2 points for the smallest hoop.. everyone got a golden snitch at the end of the game

6. Basilisk challenge. Saro was a fearsome basilisk. Sutra was mdm pompfrey.  He would freeze the kids by touching them with the snake.  she would release them by spraying mandrake juice on them. Quite incredibly fun ! Thus was an entirely unique game we played that akshaya and I thought up together! !

7. Defence against the dark arts class. Kids paired up to prargoce spells against each other. Spells were all over the walls.

8. Guess the wizard.  They would pull put the name of a witch or wizard and describe them for others to guess. 

9. Tri wizard bingo. The first to win a column gets a prize.  The rest to get a column get a chocolate gringo.   Full house was madness as all were waiting for the same  card. Mad but fun.

Thus ended the games. 9 games for the 8 year old!

So... much of this was inspired by ideas in the net.
1. Wands. We watched videos on how to do it. Designs and all our own.

2. Hats I read how to do it and tried a few versions.  Then we all painted and decorated our own ways. I wanted to buy hats and searched many places. Then decided to make them
.just seemed incomplete without hats!

3. Saw that they were selling brick patterned curtains as platform 9 and 3/4 and we decided to paint one ourselves with mahjong paper!

4. Saw the set up for table quiddity and innovated ourselves. Game and scoring system was our own.

5. Defence against dark arts class and basilisk challenge was our own totally.  We printed and stick spells around the house!

6. Cupcake sorting was adapted from net. I stead if floured icing we used m n ms.

7. To have a bingo was our idea and we used computer programs to generate the list.

8. Gift bag all our ideas.the personalised colouring book and a trunk of gringots.  A pot of mandrake to grow - that was truly akshaya 's. And an extra wand.
