Harry Potter Script Outline for Easter

    I had a very sparse script on one page so I could easily refer to it during the party.  For your benefit I've added a few things to the script on this page to help you get a better idea of what I did.

           Invitations upstairs for all kids, marked booty bags (Trader Joe's brown shopping bags with handles,
                "Wizard-in-training" and their name written on their bag,
                gummy feet "walking" down the stairs, trace of key under the foot for Brittny to discover, tape little pics

            Invitation on front door for Brittny and Drew Had Daigon Alley sound from
                         harrypotter.com playing.

            Brittny frees the kids and gets mail key for “safety deposit box”

            Bank for $ (our mail slot – oriental.com coins

            Daigon Alley for each store - I printed each store's name in a different font, cut them apart, and they were
                                                             readily available to be quickly taped to their locations.

                        Madam Malkin’s Robes for All Occasions – in Family Room, Uniform, hat, glasses (Harry Potter
                                glasses or oriental.com glasses), robe (black trash bag with sticker tab), I found purple Harry
                                Potter tatoo set at craft store on sale to put lightening tattoo on their foreheads. You could use
                                face paint formula 

to         Once your guests are "sorted," have them choose a symbol for their team and paint it on their foreheads or cheeks. An obvious choice is the lightning bolt scar found on Harry Potter's forehead, but other ideas include snakes for Slytherins, lions for Gryffindors, or magic wands, wizard hats, stars, broomsticks or golden snitches (gold orbs with wings).

                                    Rubber Eggs -

I got this off a webpage, "Have your wizards create their own party favors! Place an uncooked egg in a glass jar (large baby food jars and small eggs work well), cover the egg with vinegar, and screw on the lid. Instruct each child to let the egg sit in their refrigerators for a couple of days. The vinegar will dissolve the egg shell but leave the membrane intact, making the egg feel like a rubber ball. Very cool." But in practice I think they're supposed to be hardboiled. I had put uncooked eggs in large glass jar, and went to get one out, it came apart.

                        Eeylops Owl Emporium – just take sign to my van and post it, owls in van Pic

BOO!
Hogwarts is an enchanted castle, full of ghosts, secret passages and mysteries. Why not throw in a few surprises to enchant your own house? Your child will love recording a special cassette tape, alternating moans (yes it's me), groans and cackles with stretches of silence. Hide a tape player in the bathroom, and let the tape play during the party. Guests may be surprised to get a sudden visit from Moaning Myrtle!

MATERIALS:
3/4 yard dark-colored felt
2 or 3 squares yellow felt (9" x 12" each)
Yardstick
Scissors
Stapler
Tacky glue

Play a simple game of Quidditch, perhaps by sweeping balls into a goal, tagging opponents with foam balls, racing and dodging and tagging.

They were requested to bring their brooms for "muggle quidditch". I found the font "LUMOS" at another Harry Potter Fan website to use.
We will use a small red nerf ball on the driveway and hit the ball with the brooms. When we parents think they've had enough we will throw in a "snitch" which will be a yellow tennis ball.

After the party, send some howlers.

Tell us what you think!
