Harry Potter Cookies

I finally got a chance to see the new Harry Potter movie this weekend.  I started reading the series in college when I was taking a children's literature class.  I fell madly in love with them and although movies are never quite as good as the book, they did a great job with this one.

So being in a full blown Harry Potter panic at the moment (I can't believe there are not going to be any more books...and there is only one more movie) I thought I would share these cute Harry Potter cookies from Bake at 350:

And if you want to make your own, she has step by step instructions on how to draw each character in frosting.  You can check it out HERE.

Woosh Woosh Potter

They Boy was just a little one when the first Harry Potter came out on DVD.  For Chrsitmas his Aunt ReRe gave him a cape and wand.  He would run around the house waving it and saying Woosh Woosh Potter.

He has grown up and although out of the stage of playing dress up, he is finally old enough that we are reading the books together.

Maybe he will fall in love with it so that we can have a Harry Potter themed party and I can use some of these ideas from iVillage that I found on Hostess with the Mostest:

Wands:

(Although I think I would go with chocolate covered pretzels...but I love the look of these)

Broomsticks:

(My SIL made these for a Halloween party one year...SO FUN!)

And my favorite that would be fun for Halloween as well, potions:

If The Boy doesn't fall in love with them I might just have to go to Arizona for the release of the next movie and have a party with my in laws!

Summer 2009

It looks like the latest Harry Potter movie won't be released this Fall. It has been postponed until Summer 2009.

That is a bummer. I can't say I didn't have plans to go see it with family the night it came out. But part of me is glad. The sooner it comes out the closer we will be to the end of Harry Potter. I am not looking forward to the day that I don't have anything HP to look forward to!

Broomstick Toothpicks

If you are a Harry Potter fan, you won't need to wait for Halloween to find a use for these cute broomstick toothpicks from Hello My Name Is Heater:

Skewers, raffia and some embroidery floss is all you need to make them. And if you aren't a HP fan, then I will repost them in October for you!!

Did you see the most recent HP movie? What did you think?
