Harry Potter Party?

Does anyone have activity ideas for a Harry Potter book 7 release party?





We are, of course, dressing up, having a feast, and playing a "find the golden snitches (aka, decorated easter eggs)" quidditch game. What i want is ideas to use based on classes:





Like, for divination, we are going to read tea leaves and play magic eight ball. For Herbology we are going to make tissue paper flowers. For muggle studies, we'll watch the movies. What else can we do as activities? HELP!

Harry Potter Party?
My daughter says she knows a way of actually playing Quidditch. Before the game, you paint a superball gold and attach paper wings. You hide it before the party in your backyard or wherever you are playing. Also use hula hoops taped securely to sticks as your goal hoops, three on each end of your playing pitch. You will need a swimming noodle for every player, two soft Nerf balls for Bludgers, and a red playground ball for the Quaffle.





Next, get organized for the game. You sort everyone onto two teams. You choose two people on each team to be Beaters who throw the Bludgers at players on the other team. If a Beater hits a player with a Bludger that player has to stand frozen for ten seconds. One player on each team is the Seeker whose job is to find the Snitch, of course. One player on each team is the Keeper, guarding the goals. All the other players are Chasers. The Chasers try to throw the Quaffle (playground ball) through the hoops. Everyone has to "ride" their swimming noodles like broomsticks.





Scoring: Whichever Seeker finds the Snitch first wins 150 points for their team. Each goal is worth 10 points.
Reply:For potions you can make milkshakes





For Care of magical creatures you can play pin the tail on the hippogrif





For flying classes you can get two brooms. Then have a relay race.


You'll have to run with the broom between your legs and hold the broom with both hands. Should be funny to watch for the people waiting for the broom.

Help..mothers day..URGENT!?

okay so mothers day is coming up and i still havnt gotten my amazing mother anything.





i feel horrible because i have no money.


i would like to make her something, but i honestly dont know what. in the past years ive made her EVERYTHING from picture frames, to paper flowers, to pictures of us together.





i would like to make her something a little more mature since im older now.





PLEASE I NEED SOME IDEAASSS!

Help..mothers day..URGENT!?
Last year my sister and i made things.


What my sister did was get a box and cute up pieces of paper.


On every piece of paper my sister wrote one word,the words were what my mum had taught her. EG Love.Forgivness.Reading





Mum absolutely loved it and loved the fact that she had taught my sister all of those things.





I made hand made vouchers! Mum loved them and it gave her some free time!








You could also make a collage of photos-i know all mums love photos!


I hope the ideas helped and all the best!
Reply:Cook for her make something that she enjoy eat !
Reply:How about cooking Sunday dinner. Moms don't always look for paid for items. We just want to know we are loved by our children. Cook her favorite food and pick up her favorite movie from blockbuster's and have a dinner and a movie night.


Opinions on my poem?

It lacks a name right now, but here it is.








The emerald grass


Hangs on the ceiling


I sit with crossed legs


My feet losing feeling


Head tilted back


And thoughts focused up


Change took me by force


So strange and abrupt


I see the same things


I remain the same age


But my clothing is different


And my boots have changed


Crepe paper flowers


Float in the air


Suspended and dizzy


They don't belong there


Unseen and unheard


I slip out the door


To search for the place


I resided before.

Opinions on my poem?
It's very good! Some issues:





There's a few meter problems. You probably know where they are, and it's up to you to resolve them, but here's an example:





Change took me by force





You probably want to emphasize the word "change" here; it's essential, and "took," where the emphasis currently occurs, is not as important.





Also, work on your tense. Make it all present.





LEEEETLE things, though. I like it.
Reply:Brutally honest, eh? Nice poem. Good meter, good sense of rhyme, interesting images, great furtherance of imagination. Hope that was brutal enough.
Reply:GOOD


- an essence of days gone by


- time passes but inside we remain the same


- till the "rubber band" snaps


- and we return from whence we came
Reply:I think its very good actually:-)
Reply:The only line I stumbled on was the "boots." Overall, this is good. A vaporous image of a strange place. Well done. TD
Reply:that is great!!!!
Reply:That's REALLY good! Ru a poet??


Ur awesome!!!! Did u just make it up? ur good!!!!


Is this a bad idea for my husband tomorrow? ---V-Day?

So, the banks are closed. No money


i was going to make him a cake that looked like a pizza but i cant go to the store no money


so i was going to make him paper flowers and decorate his car tonight. what do u think?

Is this a bad idea for my husband tomorrow? ---V-Day?
i would feel that a gift like that would be one of the most precious gifts i could receive....great idea!
Reply:I think this is a cool idea....I never heard of doing something like this before....I think the traditional romantic dinner, and candle setting is something people always think of first...I like different and creative stuff...This is unique and he will surely appriecate it!


Happy Valentine's Day!
Reply:that might be fun...why don't you just give him the best sex of his life and tell him how much you love and admire him....
Reply:Better yet DECORATE YOURSELF - with icing. You can make it from scratch.


Take him on a scavenger hunt.....Leave notes taking him from place to place -- leaving little hints here and there....MIND you have to leave an entire outfit on the floor from the door to the bedrrom... JUST as if you started taking it off at the door...The blouse at the door, the bra a few feet later, a skirt a little more away, then the "STOCKING"s if you have any, if not hose, then your panties or thong, but you have to spread it out to make it's way back to the bedroom.. candles through the house. I put notes on the back door to go back out to my vehicle to get something (they were breathe mint, LOL), then to go back into the house to the stereo - play #3 I think it was Micheal Bolton then another note to be carfeul as he opened the bedroom door... As he entered I had on the sexiest lingerie under a business blouse and said "Hello Dear" candles in the room, whip cream, chocolate, LET ME TELL you that was eight years ago HE still talks about that one!
Reply:No. . .
Reply:And why are the banks closed????





Your idea is ridiculous anyways, poor guy.
Reply:not sure why your banks are closed but umm ok


he may not like paper flowers on his car..not sure of too many guys who would but is a thought...





ummm....why not just spend some quality time together, make something nice for dinner, light a few candles, put on some soft music, and you can be the dessert*





have a romantic candlelight bath together~


write a letter or poem to him





im sure whatever you decide..he'll love just being with you~*


(perhaps make your own boardgame up..and u 2 can play that after your romantic dinner)


let your mind wonder ..............and just have fun with it*
Reply:find something to cook...light some candles...and make some love...sounds perfect to me
Reply:SOUNDS GOOD TO ME


Throw some sex in there too





Das always nice





ahaha and when you "go" call him someone else's name


LOL
Reply:why dont you have any money?? Do you have a debt card?/


He will have to clean his car off before he leaves for work youy know that might suck????
Reply:That's a good idea. One of my friends was in the same boat for their first Vday together. She just cut out three stars and placed them accordingly when it was time for bed.
Reply:well i think that decorating his car is really cute, but if he has to go to work tomorrow, that will be a lot a clean up. How about you decorate your bedroom with the paper flowers, and have a trail of them leading from the front door to where you are when he gets home!
Reply:Forget the flowers on the car - just give him the BJ that he really wants....
Reply:Although the idea is different, I am going to go with a NO on this.
Reply:Cheesy for a guy. Possible embarrassing too! Why don't you make a heart shaped pizza instead of a cake? Look up the dough ingredients and there you go. Everyone probably has tomato sauce to make pizza sauce. Just an idea? Otherwise, put the paper flowers somewhere sexy in the house so that it is just for you and him privately.
Reply:Very Cute Idea. I like the decorating the car. I was trying to think of something and I might use that one.
Reply:I sure would not like that. You know your husband better than I do. Boy, I would kind of hate that.
Reply:So give what is free!!.....and men want all the time.....dress up like a french made and s@@g the living daylights out of him....in his car....boy what a Valentine to remember..
Reply:I dont think putting the flowers on his car is the way to go


How about putting the flowers on you


and running a nice bubble bath with flowers in the water too
Reply:as long as you decorate the car with some sex toys here and there?





i guess he might like it, but you know him better then me.
Reply:i don't know so much about decorating the car. how about making a trail of paper flowers to the bed where he could find you.
Reply:Don't do paper flowers. We women always think it would be great to do things like that, because WE would like them. But in reality, it's not the greatest idea for a man.





You could decorate his car in something he likes though. If he's into sports, use paper to make basketballs, baseballs, hockey sticks..make them all doubled up so you can write in them. Write a different reason why you love him, in each..and include a few naughty suggestions or "Remember when you did this in bed.." etc.
Reply:make a super sweet v-day card for him. for my bf's bday last year i got two peices of black construction paper, glued them together so the card would be big. i got other colors of construction paper and cut out letters and hearts and glued them onto the card to make it say what i wanted it to. like happy birthday (on the front) and on the inside i glued squiggles and hearts to decorate it and then i cut a big red heart out and wrote the more meaningful lyrics of our song (no rain by blind melon) on it and glued it on the left side of the card and on the right side i wrote what i felt about him and how thankful i was to have himand how i looked forward to having our baby and have a family together. just do something so sweet and MAKE it yourself. those are the best gifts. dress up sexy and do your hair beautiful and take time to make your makeup and everything perfect. good luck
Reply:Cute idea, but I think he might not pay much attention unless your laying on the hood NAKED...now THERE'S an idea!


Use a couple of the paper flowers as "fig leaves" too. LOL


What is the name of this childrens movie from i think 1980's?

There is a little girl that wakes up on christmas eve hearing a noise downstairs. She goes downstairs thinking its father christmas and finds a monster instead. The monster eats paper flowers and needs the girls help. A witch has stolen the monsters voices and the girl has to go and shout hullaballoo down what looks like a big hole in the witches place to rescue their voices.
