The Return of Harry Potter Table

Halloween is in full swing again 

here at Purple Chocolat Home 

and we decided to have another 

Harry Potter feast in the 

Great Hall.  I changed it up a bit 

this year and put the tables on an 

angle. 

To get us all a seat, with 31 of us, 

I used 2 eight foot tables and 

one 6 foot table with adjustable 

legs so the little ones can sit at 

it on my children sized Chiavari 

chairs. 

Removing the furniture from the room 

helps to accommodate the crowd.  

All tables were draped with black

tablecloths and then the color of the 

runner determined which house 

was represented.  This one is blue 

for Ravenclaw.  

This one is green for Slytherin.  

And this one is read for Gryffindor.  

The Hogwart's banner flies at 

the end of the room. 

And at the other end of the 

Great Hall we have the letters 

to Harry flying out of the fireplace. 

Napkins for each house were set at 

each placesetting.  I used copper 

chargers and gold flatware on all 

of the tables, except the little table, 

where I used plastic for the little 

Slytherins. 

I had a mixture of mugs.  These 

particular mugs are from 

Universal Studios. 

Here is another mug I made using 

stickers.  The tables have a scattering 

of Harry Potter memorabilia, like the 

authentic Pumpkin Juice bottle,

the Golden Snitch and candy boxes.

I had fun with creating pages 

from the Daily Prophet which had 

the photos of each guest and a story 

headline for each. 

Here is another authentic mug 

from Universal Studios 

Wizarding World of Harry Potter. 

I created the Weasley's clock a 

few years ago.  

I also created this Harry Potter 

tree a few years ago.  It rests down 

in the TV room in the basement which 

is decorated with all of my 

Harry Potter items. 

Some items were purchased 

online and some were purchased 

at Universal Studios.  I had a 

lot of fun putting this tree together, 

so it sits decorated down in the 

TV room. 

For character photos I purchased 

three backdrops, one the library, 

one of Honeydukes, and one of 

the Hogwarts Castle.  I hung those 

and had all of the families take 

family photos.  

We loved this photo of the 

little people at their table 

with Honeyduke's window 

in the background. 

Of course we had to have 

Harry's birthday cake made by 

Hagrid.  We were celebrating 

5 October birthdays.  

Every family was asked to bring 

a Harry Potter inspired dish, 

so our menu consisted of 

Toad in the Hole (pictured above)

Fire-breathing Dragon meat, 

Hagrid's Vegetable Hash, 

Professor Sprout's rolls, 

First Year Broom Cookies, 

and of course birthday cake. 

The feast was overseen by 

Professor McGonagal

and Snape.  

Thanks for visiting our 

Wizarding World of Harry Potter 

Halloween Party.

I will be posting this with
