Last night I held Chandler's 9th birthday party. It had a Harry Potter theme and turned out quite well (if I do say so myself).
We did a Bertie Bott's Every Flavor Bean tasting contest as our opening social. The party was set like Hogwarts and we went to classes in Potions (making homemade rootbeer), Divination (popping a balloon and reading the fortune inside), Care of Magical Creatures (growing a sponge animal), etc. We also made English Muffin pizzas. Last we traveled to Hogsmeade for some shopping at Olivanders (for chocolate pretzel wands), at Zonko's Joke Shop (for silly putty), and at Honeyduke's Sweet Shop (for Bertie Botts, Snape's Sour Chews, Gummy Slugs, and Weasley Whizzies (pop rocks)). The kids used galleons (pennies won from the games) to make their purchases.
It was a fun but crazy evening (9-year-old boys have a LOT of energy).
