Harry Potter party
- The basic storyline visually involves Harry leaving home
from
platform 9 and 3/4on King's Cross Station to attend Hogwarts School of
Witchcraft and Wizardry. This is a spooky old castle on a high cliftop
in the enchanted forest. He is assigned to Gryffindor House and eats in
the communal dining hall from long benches overseen by flaming griffin
torches and hanging banners. Wooden panelled and stone walls/features
abound. There is a shopping street in the village nearby called Dragons
Alley where amongst other things you can buy Wizards wands from
Ollivanders shop. Outside the school building is a large field on which
the ancient game of Quidditch is played.
- Here then is one version of this which would work as a party
- Guests arrive for reception on Platform 9 and 3/4 King's
Cross
Station. and as if by wizardry, be transported straight
into the great hall of Hogwarts. Large flaming torches illuminate the
scene. Old wooden panelled walling lines one side and is punctuated by
doorways marked with the names of the teachers (Prof. Plitwick, Madam
Hooch, Prof Dumbledore, Prof Quirrel etc). The enchanted forest (also
another possibility for reception) is to be found through the windows
on the opposite wall. Overhead are the school motto banners. Everyone
dines at long wooden tables. The stage set end is the masters stage
complete with large blackboard, gold lettered lists of former pupils
and a stone doorway through which the masters (your performers) enter.
