Since James' birthday is so close to Christmas, it is almost impossible to throw him a party and have all his friends there. I've found that having it a month later makes things a lot easier.
So he wanted a Harry Potter party and after some thought I decided, what better to entertain a bunch of kids than a magician!!
The kids had a blast and it was totally low key on my part. I wish I could have videotaped how loud these kids were laughing the whole night. I think the favorite part of the night was when he made the bunny appear.
The Potion station. We let the kids mix up whatever potion they wanted.
Their choices:
Sleeping Potion (blue raspberry Kool-Aid)
Dragon Tears (Hawaiian punch)
Extract of Pituitary (orange Kool-Aid)
Excitability Formula (lemonade)
Bloodworms (gummy worms)
Mandrake Root (dried pineapple)
and Exploding Spider Eggs (Pop Rocks).
I can't even tell you how many cups they all drank. I'm sure they were all in a sugar coma all night.
The cupcakes - the funniest thing about these - when I told James I was making wizard hats with the "Harry" scar on them he wanted me to do a REAL wizard's hat and put a crescent moon on them. He even had to direct me on the proper way to draw them!
Happy Birthday James...I hope it was a fun night for you!

How UTTERLY CUTE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Those cupcakes are fantastic! Delicious! Save one for me! Great idea to have his Bday party a month late.
Where did you hold this party, and how much did the magician cost -- I'm thinking of renting out as a fairy godmother for storytelling at parties.
check out how cool your living room was decorated for the magician! Did you do that or did he?? You are incredible!!! I can't believe I didn't see these until now :)
