Harry Potter Night


When the little wizards arrive, they will be sorted upon check in.  I have name tags in 4 different colors.  Each color will represent a house.  They will draw pick a sticker, and then the sorting hat will put them in the house that matches the sticker color.

There will be materials for wand making – wooden dowels and pipe cleaners to wrap around it for decoration.  Each wizard should make a wand.  There will also be Twizzler wands, if anyone prefers.  During check in, sorting and wand making, there will also be snacks served.  Once all that is accomplished, we will move onto the activities.


Someone needs saving. One of Hagrid’s creatures is dying.  We need to make the Potion of Life to save him.  Hagrid knows it has 6 ingredients: insects, dragon scales, poppies, phoenix feathers, frogs and eyeballs. They need to be combined together 2 at a time, but he can’t remember which ones go together.  We will need to try to figure out how they go together using trial and error, but first you will need to complete a series of tasks in order to obtain the ingredients.   Then, once the ingredients are obtained, combine two of them together to try for a portion of the Potion of Life.  But be warned, some combinations may have unintended consequences.
