cheryl: Harry Potter Halloween

This year we had a ton of fun planning and preparing for a Harry Potter Halloween.

Floating pumpkins lit the “great hall” along with a Hogwarts banner to make it look more official.

 

Herbology donated a giant plant

Special newspapers joined us

Tim worked the oven (thankfully!) as Neville

along with Jolene as Luna

She even has a giant wig, crazy nargle glasses and her wand tucked into her hair.

James and I went as Bill and Fleur.

I made the hat and custom ordered my cape and James shirt and vest.

Gabe and Owen in a Harry and Snape conflict with the flying “keys” in the background and some ironic writing on the wall.

Levi and Erin as Serious Black and Bellatrix

Levi’s mustash is crazy pants weird.

Owen and Rachael as Serious and Tonks.

The Jaqua family as the Potter family.

The whole gang was there.

The spread was amazing with stuffing, green bean casserole, vegetarian meatballs

Two different soups, roasted veggies and sweet potatoes, and kale.

Apple and treacle tarts and pumpkin pasties.

Pumpkin juice and butter beer, cheeses, and sorting hat marshmallows.

Everyone had a great time eating and chatting. Someday we’ll have a larger house so it won’t feel so crowded but overall it was a big hit!
