Affordable DIY Harry Potter Party

This is the most fun I've ever had throwing a kid party. I think it was the fact that we are at that awesome age where Jude is super into helping. I didn't read the Harry Potter books when they came out because I wanted to wait and read them with my "someday" kids. Jude and I are now half way through book four and it was definitely worth the wait. I didn't expect to geek out on them as much as I have, but J.K. Rowling really does live up to the hype. So when Jude requested a Hogwarts themed birthday party I was all in.
