There are so many options and ideas for a theme – it is so easy to go overboard. I focused on the first movie – The Sorcerer’s Stone and kept it very light – nothing scary. My goal was to use props and supplies that I already had, and to buy things that could be reused for future party decorations. I ordered most everything from Amazon, and I ordered early – knowing that mail often takes a month or more to get here, and frequently gets lost along the way.
I organized everything by station: Hogwarts Express, The Great Hall, Defense Against the Dark Art class, and Potions class.
I even gave Jackson his Lego gift early, so that he could put it together before the party, and we could use it as a decoration!
