Man, I wish Harry Potter had been written just a few years earlier, so I could’ve had a Harry Potter birthday party at some point. Now, I just get to live vicariously through my kids. 🙂
You may already know that my youngest’s first birthday party was a Harry Potter “The Chosen ONE” themed party (if you haven’t seen that post yet, be sure to check it out – lots of great ideas for food, games, and activities in it). I had so much fun putting it all together, that I just didn’t feel like I was ready to stop when it all ended! So naturally, I kept shopping and writing down ideas that I could share with all of you.
Thankfully, my 6-year-old son has started reading the first Harry Potter book with me, and is quickly turning into a Potter-head himself. So, I have faith that I’ll get to use some of these ideas again for one of his future parties!
Accio party hats!
Harry Potter Birthday Party Ideas
These Harry Potter Birthday Party Ideas make it so easy to throw together a themed party quickly and easily!
What's a party without an invitation?! This one is completely editable, so even if yours isn't a first birthday party, you could change the "Chosen ONE" text to say something else that matches your party's theme.
How fun is this?! Party guests can scratch off the circle and get sorted into their Hogwarts house. This could be a party favor, or a fun party activity for everyone to do!
I love these plates, napkins, cups & tablecloth. They're on-theme, without sacrificing style.
I love a good banner for any party! This one can do double-duty – it works great as a high-chair banner for a cake smash, and also as a typical display banner.
If your Harry Party party isn't a first birthday, this one is a great alternative!
Third and final banner set on the list – these were just too cute to pass up!
I wish I had seen this for my baby's Chosen One birthday party! This photo booth frame is so perfect.
I made a Platform 9 3/4 entryway from scratch using a plain brick photo backdrop, but this one does all that heavy-lifting for you! The kids at our party had so much fun running through it at the beginning and end of our party.
Turn your house into Hogwarts with these signs. Your kitchen becomes the Great Hall, your backyard the Forbidden Forest, your garage the Hogwarts Express. Plus it includes House Banners for each of the four Hogwarts houses!
I was mind-blown when I discovered how easy it is to make balloon arches, especially using these kits. The colors of this one are perfect for any Harry Potter party!
This was a fun addition to a Harry Potter party. Just hang these LED candles from your ceiling or light fixture to make it feel like the Hogwarts Great Hall.
Spruce up any basic cupcakes with cute HP-themed toppers.
This "Chosen ONE" cake topper is the perfect accent for a smash cake!
What's a Harry Potter party without a wand to take home?
We gave out "Hedwigs" as favors as our party – the kids all loved them!
And of course, to tie it all together, matching Magical favor tags.
