Harry Potter Costumes!!!!!!!!!!

Harry Potter Costumes!!!!!!!!!!

Here are costume ideas for any Gryffindor, Hufflepuff, Slytherin, or Ravenclaw!!!
(I am personally in Ravenclaw and I would love to hear who my fellow Ravenclaws are!!!!)         Here would be Luna's, Harry Potter's, Malfoy's, Or Cedric Diggory. You can Be your own character or modify these to your own whatever!!! The easiest thing to do is to get a costume here. But then again that's no fun!!!!!!!!

Anyway (the obvious) start with a robe!!!!!!!!!!

Or if you have Burda style or you can sign up its free. (That is what I used)

Use different colors for different houses.Note: Make sure and have ties, badges, and under robe clothes before this. 

Here are great ideas for extra Luna Lovegood accessories

don't forget the wand!!!!

 For Harry Potter the possibilities are endless

so here is a list

His glasses

A wand

a snitch

a Broom (Universal Orlando or just a corn husk broom)

there are so many I don't want to list them all! 

Malfoy of course needs his cronies so call up your friends :-)

Blond hair 

You also need a wand

Digg is harder but since he was a seeker you could make a snitch You do need a wand though... You could be him in his uniform

Diy Harry Potter Potions (non edible)

I did another post on Diy potions, but these are not edible. More of a leave them on the shelf thing.
Lots of these you can just color water and add rocks or glitter. Just get a few small bottles. Here are a few Ideas:

Powdered Unicorn Horn : baking soda

Dragon's Blood: Water with red food coloring

Mummy Finger: dried piece of ginger root

Gillyweed: yard weeds in water with a few drops of green food coloring

Bezoar: garden gravel

Dream fluid: water with blue food coloring

I would just put elmers glue in a bottle.

Here are some pics:

5 Diy Edible Harry Potter Potions

Here I will show you how to make Amortentia (love potion), Skele-gro (bone growing potion), Pepper-up potion (energy thing) , Wartcap Powder ( wart remover), and Felix Feicis (courage grower). Ever wanted to have an excuse to eat in your room? Or scare younger siblings into thinking you have magical powers;-)


First grab a bunch of old useless cool bottles w/ lids and wash them.



Next get the labels here.
But put them on after you have made the potions:-)



1.
Amortentia Potion
Needed:
Cool Aid or other juice powder(pink)
Sugar
Water
Candy Hearts
Small Bowl
Small Spoon
Small Bottle to put potion in


I would just make the recipe from the cool aid packet and pour into bottle. If candy hearts fit I would suggest it. Make sure The bottle it clear so you can see the pink.




2.
Skelo-Grow
I tried to make this one a little more like the title, so I just got liquid cough medicine and poured it in a bottle.




3.Pepper-up potion
You can use an energy drink for this one. I just used Monte (a South American energy drink)




4.
Wartcap Powder
I just found a candy powder on amazon
click here.
You could also use powdered sugar , if you like that sort of thing.






5.
Here u can just make it up lemonade, Any juice or water

Five ways to make a Harry Potter wand!!

Here are five ways to make a Harry Potter wand. If your like me, you'll try all of them!!:-)

So I did the post on my Potter games
And if you wanted to you could make wands, or have Ollivander's shop:-)
Or you can do it just for fun!!!

Way 1:
Needed:
Stick/branch
peeler
desired paint colors
hot glue stxs
hot glue gun
glitter(optional)
marble(optional)

So first get a stick or a branch off a tree(about the length of your wrist to elbow) and as thick as u like


 If it has Bark on it u might want to peel it with a peeler or a knife be  Careful!!! Let it dry for a day or two.

Then paint it one color that is your base color. When that is dry hot glue a design on it and wait to dry.



 Paint glue. Dry. Add nail polish for extra shine!!! Add little bits at a time cause I find the paint comes off if you do to much. Have fun!!!! If u want when glue is still hot add a marble to the bottom!!



Way 2:
This way is where u just use a chopstick instead of stick. You don't even have to paint it.

Needed:
chopstx
peeler
desired paint colors( optional)
hot glue stxs
hot glue gun
glitter(optional)
marble(optional)

Paint. Glue design. Paint. Make it yours!!!!!



Way 3: Go to universal studios and buy one. I prefer making myself one.

Way 4:
Needed
self drying clay or polymer clay.
desired paint colors



Shape into desired shape.





Wait to dry/bake. Paint!!



Way 5:
Needed:
computer paper
sharpies
elmer's glue
glitter(optional)

Lay your paper out flat.Start rolling it up and gluing as you go by the end it should look like this


Let dry. When dry color wand.Great for little kids! You could even hot glue designs on it!!



Thanks for reading I look forward to my next post:-)

Last august I created something I am really proud of and love. But I haven't been able to do it yet:-( I recently found a web site that has Harry Potter video games and they call it Potter Games, but mine is an all day physical thing.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0FD5pCQm8W8

I just found a wood block and painted it green, blue, yellow, and red. That was what I was going to use to determine what house they were in.

I couldn't find a pic for this one

Book 1; I did Quidditch 

Just tying Gold hola-hoops to two nearby trees, and getting balls of different sizes for the snitch etc..

The beaters are taggers,and the people they tag stay put for 10-20 sec, so basically like tag only they are the only ones who can tag.

I would go out early and hide the snitch for the seeker to find. I would also have the youngest player be seeker. Chasers go fight for the ball.

and the Keeper gaurds the hola-hoops

Geusts bring their own gear( Broomstixs and clothing)

Kind of like this pic I pulled from the internet

Book 2: I just did a scavenger hunt message on wall stuff like that I think this website will show you how to do it lots of thing if u look up Harry Potter themed scavenger hunts

http://1stforeverything.com/2013/11/08/harry-potter-everything-and-a-book-hangover/

Then we made Maurderers maps shows u everything U need to know:-) 

http://www.instructables.com/id/Marauders-Map-1/

Then was Lunch something like this 

Recipes:

For Ravenclaw salad

Slytherin spaghetti just do caned or

Pizza Puffs 

Gryffindor Toast  

I would just buy Slytherin Spirals at Costco  or another place.

Wizard hats; 

this also has many other great ideas!!!!

Pumpkin Juice 

Just make little tags with cool fonts on your computer and burn the edges!

Now to go on

Obsicale course I just did a few book related obsicales such as riddles, fighting and stuff. You can use scavender hunts.Riddles to find and save your friend and The sphinx riddle;

“First think of the person who lives in disguise,

Who deals in secrets and tells naught but lies.

Next, tell me what’s always the last thing to mend,

The middle of middle and end of the end?

And finally give me the sound often heard

During the search for a hard -to-find word.

Now string them together, and answer me this,

Which creature would you be unwilling to kiss?”

I didn't really know what to do for the 5th book.... Maybe a mini fight?

Book six:

write out a list of the seven horcruxes and hand them out to people( you can do it in groups of one or two) hide the horcruxes in a place it makes sense for them to be and see how well they know the books!!!:-) For the Horcruxes use things like:

an old journal

an old necklace

a ring

a toy snake

a pic of Harry Potter

a teacup 

and a crown

 

Book 7: MAKE SURE IT IS DARK TO DO THIS!!!!!!!!! EPIC BATTLE!!!!! With glow sticks!!!

Invitations: Print out template http://www.seanlockephotography.com/2013/07/18/youve-been-accepted-to-hogwarts/ and burn edges i covered it with coconut oil for the full efect it did make it a little bit oily but you can wipe it off with a paper towel. Tie it up with floss or twine and u can send it with an owl balloon too. Have them bring a costume, wand, broom,and Quidditch clothes. You can also have them bring a treat to share!!
