The fanciful world of Harry Potter may seem daunting when it comes to creating your own party at home, based on this theme.
In an hour of planning -- armed with paper and pen (or parchment and quill) -- you can use the colors and motifs of Hogwarts School and the Wizarding World to generate loads of ideas that will make your event colorful and unique.
Here are some table setting ideas for your party:
Use red and gold china - the colors of Gryffindor. Try red dessert plates with gold charger plates underneath, or vice versa. (If your guests are partial to the other Hogwarts houses, the Slytherin colors and green and silver, Hufflepuff is yellow and black, and Ravenclaw is blue and bronze.)
Try purple, which is popular for Halloween, Renaissance and Medieval theme gatherings. The right, rich shades of purple can coordinate well with fantasy and wizard merrymaking
Look for pewter - in the Harry Potter films, scenes in the Great Hall at mealtimes are often set with pewter plates and goblets
Choose white to fill in - as always, white goes with everything. White plates trimmed with gold would be a good coordinating selection
Find accent pieces to set off the table setting - there are wares with dragon motifs and licensed products even more specific to the Harry Potter world available online. Smaller pieces can be purchased, and larger items, like fountains, can be rented
Check out the Harry Potter Lexicon online for house crests and other motifs to work into the décor for your party
Select chunky goblets, tankards and flatware that have an Old English or Old World shape and style - and in coordinating colors and finishes - to complete your table setting.
And if you're looking to make Harry's favorite dessert, check out our Treacle Tart recipe at Detroit Baking Examiner. Harry's birthday is July 31, but this pie can be made any time.
Setting a classic table for a Harry Potter theme celebration can be easier than a game of Exploding Snaps when you use your imagination to transport yourself to his world. With planning, you'll be ready to create a fanciful Harry Potter theme party all year round.
