During our spring break last month my mom, who is a fifth grade teacher, visited us and offered to host a Harry Potter party for my son and his friends. Now, it’s important to point out that to my son and his friends a day of learning math, earning points for correct answers, and “buying” prizes like house badges (Go Ravenclaw!), bookmarks, chocolate frogs, and wands is considered a Par-tay. My mom delivered.
Mom arrived on Monday and we all planned and baked and decorated for two days. Max would be hosting the party for his friends, my mom would be the emcee/teacher, and Chilihead, Jr. would be the House Elf (helper and score keeper). I disappeared into my room to write a few articles I was committed to.
Now, before I show you the pictures of the party, let’s be very clear that, while I have great SLR camera, I don’t know how to use said camera. So the picture are not great. Also? While the pumpkin pasties and treacle tarts tasted good, the presentation left a bit to be desired. Bottom line? I’m no Pioneer Woman.

Hey! What a cool mom (and party)! The treacle tarts look great, good enough to eat. And Snape…did someone say Snape?
Very cute and creative! I bet they had so much fun!
