    How to Plan the Ultimate Harry Potter Movie Night

    June 15, 2022 /

    I focus a lot on this site, trying to bring the magical world into the Muggle one. But there's nothing that quite compares to the magic of re-reading the Harry Potter series or re-watching the Harry Potter movies. From the first notes of the score to the final credits roll, there's something truly special about the Harry Potter films and the magical feeling they make us all feel inside. That's why it's a special occasion to plan a Harry Potter movie night!

    In Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone, the new students of Hogwarts gave a rousing, discordant version of the school song, after which Dumbledore states: "Ah, music! A magic beyond all we do here!" There are certainly some magics – even those from the Muggle world – that exceed the magic that Harry and his friends learn at school, and it's safe to say that bringing new babies into the world is definitely one of them...

    Here we are, approaching the end of the year and the festive season! I don't know about you, but as the days get shorter and colder, all I want to do is curl up by the fire in the Gryffindor common room in one of those squashy armchairs. (And that's me saying as a Slytherin, which you'll see from the photos in this post!) Christmas and the other winter holidays are a time to cozy up and get close with the people you love – both family and Hogwarts housemates...

    Stay home. Shelter in place. Lockdown. These are words we might think describe a situation when Death Eaters are on the march – not our normal muggle lives! Yet as we face a massive public health crisis around the world, everyone has to do their part to help stop the dark forces of Coronavirus. To that end, we can’t hop on a plane or grab a Portkey to explore the magical world – we need to keep ourselves home and try virtual Harry Potter experiences instead. While we can’t all do social distancing like in the picture above – that’s a ‘forced perspective’ photo from several feet apart at the…

Below you’ll learn everything you need to create a magical space for the party, plus what to serve for food and drink.
