Dobby and a Harry Potter Party

Well It happened, my son Knox told me he wanted a Harry Potter party for his 7th birthday, making me the proudest mother EVER!  So I went into this party thinking we are going big or not at all! My husband on the other hand gave me a budget! 😒 Thank God for Amazon, Aliexpress, the Dollar Tree, and a home printer or this party would not have happened! I wont get to much into party planning details because the pictures pretty much speak for itself! I will show you the DIY Dobby I made though. It started with 2 paper plates, paper towels, hot glue, wadded up paper, aluminum foil, a empty 2 liter coke bottle, and lots of tape!


The final product turned out better then I thought it would! 

So here are all the pictures from the party down to the invites! Hope you all enjoy! =D 
* Forgot to get a picture of the drink bar. We had Polyjuice Potion Punch, Butterbeer, Elixer of Life (Water), Sweet Tea, and Pumpkin Juice (Sunkist).









When Guests arrived they could do the photobooth before running through the brick wall into Hogsmeade. 

After Everyone had arrived we sorted everyone into their houses by placing the sorting hat on their heads and having them draw out name tags with the houses on it! Then we played several minute to win it games and even had quidditch!  They even got magic wands! 
We all had a magical time! Hope you enjoyed the pictures! Maybe they will help someone with their Potter party! If you have any questions about anytihng please feel free to ask! I had so much fun planning everything for this! The best part was seeing my sons face when he got to the house to see it all decorated!  Thanks again for Checking out this post!
