Sorry its taken me a bit to get this pics up. Thanks to everyone who could come -- I've been a HP fan for a long time and it was fun to throw a party before the midnight showing. It will likely last me until I throw a Harry Potter party for Ellie someday....
I went as Bellatrix....
And Eleanor was the Golden Snitch. Adorable--right?! Thanks to Nanna for whipping up a custom gold pantuit the day before...gotta love a seamstress in the family....
pumpkin juice
sorting hat bread
beetle the bard "wings" /chip and dip
Grandma Suzie was down here for the Young Ambassador Showcase and was nice enough to watch Ellie for the party-planning, cleanup, and midnight showing of The Deathly Hallow!!
James and Kelly
Wizard Cupcakes
The Deathly Hallows...
our mini whomping willow
floating candles in the 'great hall'
some wand magic via sparklers (note how excited they BOTH are about the fire)
Mike said Ellie would go in Gryffindor...of course! (Its also the only House he knows since he hasn't read the books or paid that much attention to the movies...yeah....Huffarump is NOT in HP).
We also had butterbeer, deviled dragon eggs, and spinach artichoke dip (to go with the sorting hat bread...although honestly...it was more of a decorative piece than a apetizer..came out kind of hard).
Expecto Patronum!!

I still am yet to see or read (which I want to do first) any of the Harry Potters....I know, I know. :) I want to! You put on quite the party! Looks like you guys are having a fun summer. And, you are giving me the motivation to get back into bathing suit shape. ;) Thanks.
your party decor and food looks fantastic! and your little golden snitch is the cutest thing ever. You put a lot of work into it and very creative. Dan and I did not get around to watching it until last saturday. loved it!
This is why I love you. SERIOUSLY!
We actually got Jessie all the HP movies for her birthday, and it was the first time I had seen all of them. It was pretty cool to watch them beginning to end (missing the newest one, of course). We miss you guys. Hope all is well.
It was Brad, who posted that, by the way. Just so you don't think Jessie is going crazy and referring to herself in the third person.
