Re: Harry Potter Day

[Dawn Sardes <Dmsardes@AOL.COM>]

Hi All,

I have received about a hundred ays to melt my chocolate.  I will do some 
experimenting, decide on what works best for my situation, and post a hit.  I guess 
my husband and daughter will just have to suffer htrough eating my experiments.

But, I've received about 20 requests for a full accounting of what my Harry Potter 
day will be like, so here goes.

I have 40 kids registered, so we will start with a Sorting Ceremony."  40 House 
Badge/ID cards will be put in a wizard hat and each kid will draw one out, write 
name on card, and put around neck (yarn necklace).

Then each House will be given a schedule of "classes."
1. Ollivanders Wand making (The pretzel in chocolate thing, dipped into magical 
substrances such as Ground unicorn horn (coconut), Dragon Scales (Small cake 
sprinkles that look like dinosaurs), etc.

2. Care & Breeding of Magical Creatures
  Assembling a "Wizard Bug," out of a yarn pom-pom tacky-glued to a 2" styro ball, 
with black felt wizard hat, googly eyes, and Black card stock paper Harry Potter 
glasses.

3.  Potions & Potables
  Refreshments of Dragons' Blood Cupcakes (Red velvet cake mix with white frosting 
and a red lightning bolt put on with pastry bag) and punch that has an ice ring 
made out of a contrasting color with gummy worms in it.

4.  McGonagalls Malicious Magical Harry Trivia Exam.
  A bingo board with assorted questions (no two exactly alike).  The first in each 
house to answer all their questions wins an HP prize.

One of the things that really is irritating me is that many people think I'm going 
to show the movie.  We're getting a lot of adults calling and coming in asking for 
the video even though it is obviously still in the theaters.
