Harry Potter birthday party

A Hogwarts themed arts and crafts party worthy of Harry, Ron and Hermione!

There’s no children’s book series in the last few decades that’s had as much impact, and if you have a young witch or wizard who has sorted themselves into Gryffindor or Hufflepuff and already knows what animal their Patronus is, you’ll know what we mean. A Harry Potter themed party might be just up their Diagon Alley.

Planning a Harry Potter birthday party is an absolute pleasure thanks to the world of imagination that J. K. Rowling created in the books. We can tailor the party to your child’s taste and with Madame Wartyhog teaching the class, anything is possible…

Some of the spookier ideas here work well for Halloween, too!
