Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire movie night
For the Goblet of Fire movie night since it focused on the tri wizard tournament I created my house into a big Hogwart's dormitory. It was a lot of fun to do and it wasn't very hard since I have quite a few witchcraft books , capes and candles lying around. I decided to use them for decorations and to add a little extra wizard flare. I went to Rocket Fizz in Palo Alto to pick up Harry Potter themed candies like chocolate frogs and candy slugs among other things. I passed out business cards to some of my favorite gothic style shops as well. Guests dined on healthy snacks and dips, gluten free pizza and I served organic, sparkling juice with labels like "polyjuice potion."
To add a bit more of Hogwart's dorm life I placed capes around and socks with different houses on them like Ravenclaw, Slytherin, Gryffindor etc. I also placed their uniforms on hangers and hung them beside brooms and scarves. I put Harry's tie on the mantle piece, Luna Love good's radish earrings and glasses on the table beside the candy. I created an atmosphere to look like young wizards were relaxing after a long study session to cram for their potion's tests the next day. It was a lot of fun and hopefully you can draw some inspiration from my decorations.

Outfit inspiration: Nymphadora Tonks in Harry Potter
I love Tonk's style in Harry Potter. She is married to Remis Lupin who is a werewolf and defense against the dark arts teacher. I love her wardrobe in the film. She is very gothic with a bit of punk added in. She wears a really cool bell necklace, which I recreated myself with velvet choker and bells I sewed on. I got them at Joanne Fabrics. Nymphadora's wand is actually a Harry Potter replica wand I purchased in England and for her broom I used a fighting stick with collected twigs tied/taped on the back. For her makeup I blended a gothic berry lip with some chap stick and did a thicker eyeliner with smudged purple shadow on top. It was a very affordable alternative to buying actual broom and I love to DIY a lot of my items when I'm dressing up. Enjoy!
My DIY necklace I made for my cosplay is now up for sale :> Email me for details if you are interested before it is gone. I will post update if it sells. |
