As you may know from previous posts that we
are huge Harry Potter fans and I have been dying waiting for the new Fantastic Beasts movie to come out... I had an itch that needed to be scratched! Our wonderful church hosted another trunk-or-treat this year and I thought it would be the perfect opportunity to release some of the anticipation! So here is a quick recap of our fun little Harry Potter themed trunk...
My two oldest wore robes and my for my youngest I just cut an slits into an old pillow case and she became our house elf... simple and quick costumes!
To decorate the trunk I used items from a Harry Potter party from a couple years ago as well as some items from my son's Harry Potter themed bedroom, so this trunk was easy and didn't cost much to do.
On the front of the table I printed off a large Hogwarts banner and crest from Printyca.
We had to hang some floating candles.
For treats we served up some of Honeydukes finest!
Bertie Botts Every Flavor Beans
Droobles Best Chewing Gum
Exploding Bon Bons
Peppermint Toads
Dumbledore's favorite... Sherbet Lemons
and last but not least Chocolate Frogs!
Each of the frog boxes came with a famous witch or wizard card.
We stocked the table with the variety of the treats and just refilled the table as kids came along and picked one to take. The prep work of putting all the boxes together was a bit time consuming (approx. 150 different treats total) but was SO worth it!
The rest of the table was filled with potions, wands, owls,
books, and lots of fun little items.
It was such a fun night, and I can garuantee that this will not be our last Harry Potter celebration,
