Harry Potter Party Decorations

A Magical Party - Even for Muggles

With millions of books sold and eight feature films, it's no wonder nearly everyone is familiar with the adventures of Harry Potter and his friends at Hogwarts. Party guests of all ages will delight in Harry Potter party decorations.

A Potter Themed Party

Whether you're hosting a birthday party for a Potterhead a costume party or putting on a movie screening night featuring the movies from the books, having some Harry Potter decorations in your party space will increase the fun factor!

Get Your Camera Ready

Any Harry Potter party is made better with appearances from the characters! Unless you have some serious Hollywood connections, chances are some photo stand-ups of the characters will be your best option. Give guests the opportunity to pose for photos with their favorite characters from the beloved stories:

1. Harry Potter
2. Hermione Granger
3. Ron Weasley
4. Professor Dumbledore

And don't forget the "bad guys" too!

1. Professor Snape
2. Bellatrix Lastrange

Have some characters from the other Harry Potter universe books on hand as well with stand-ups of:

1. Newt Scamander
2. Queenie Goldstein
3. Jacob Kowalski

Set the Stage

There are plenty of other decorations you can have at your party to help make the ambiance more Potter-like. All manners of witch items that might be found at Hogwarts should be at your party, too. Cauldrons, wands, witch hats and spider webs will help get guests into a magical state of mind.

Why Harry Potter?

If you've never read any of the books or watched any of the films, it's likely you don't understand what the big deal is about these characters and stories. Not only are the books masterfully crafted by J.K. Rowling, but the characters overcome adversity by sticking together and relying on one another. They find strength in friendship (and magic!), showing young readers that it's important to pick your friends wisely.

The characters quickly start to feel like old friends of the reader, making the stories feel all the more real. Don't be surprised if guests squeal in delight when they see stand-up cutouts of Harry Potter characters at your party. To some guests, it will feel like a reunion.

Fun Activities

Don't worry if you can't manage to pull together a full-scale Quidditch game, there are still plenty of other Harry Potter party activities you can have some fun with. Trivia from the books or films, a "who said it" game, or a potion-making class (hint: use sugar and candy for this) can be a lot of fun. If your guests are particularly fervent fans, you can recreate scenes from the movies to act out.

Will a Harry Potter party be fun? Always.
