Emily dressed up as Hermione Granger. Mike planned a lot of fun activities. The kids went on a scavenger hunt in Hagrids pumpkin patch. We hid little pumpkins all over the yard. Each of the kids got a cauldron and a wand when they came.
She had six of her friends come over.
We decorated the basement, trying to make it look like the Great Hall. I loved the idea of the floating pumpkins!
The kids were all so excited to see Dumbledore. It was such a great party, and Emily had so much fun! My favorite part was when we sorted the kids into their house with the sorting hat. Mike hid a walkie talkie in the hat and then hid in the other room. I would place the hat on the girls head and Mike would talk in a British voice and tell them what house they were in. The kids loved it! We also had a rat race, ate chocolate frogs and Bertie Bots Jelly Beans, and of course we had a pinata. Mike was so creative in planning the whole thing, and Emily thought it was amazing, she loved being Hermione for the day at Hogwarts.
