Elliott finished reading Harry Potter and the Deathly Hollows on July 6th, but we held off on the movie party until the 8th. We had to watch two movies in one day, so it took some planning.
We watched Part One with a lunch time menu. We put Hedwig on the table in honor of..........SPOILER ALERT.........Hedwig dying.
Sandwiches, tarts, and cappuccinos.
At the wedding of Bill and Fleur, waiters popped up on all sides, some carrying silver trays of pumpkin juice, butterbeer, and firewhisky, others tottering piles of tarts and sandwiches.
"They relapsed into a
prickly silence. The gum-chewing waitress shuffled over and Hermione ordered
two cappuccinos. As Harry was invisible, it would have looked odd to order him
one. A pair of burly workmen entered the cafe and squeezed into the next booth.
Hermione dropped her voice to a whisper."
Of course we had customized the drinks to the house cups. For example, Elliott's cappuccino was 99% milk and 1% coffee.
We took a break for a couple of hours before we started Part Two. We had a dinner menu for that.
A Nagini calzone, pumpkin pasties, and pumpkin juice.
I was pretty proud of the job I did on Nagini.
I used black olives for the eyes, cashews for the fangs, and a piece of roasted red pepper for the tongue. The calzone was stuffed with ricotta, sauce, mozzarella, and pepperoni.
I made homemade crust and filling for the pasties.
The pumpkin juice was a combo of pumpkin, brown sugar, spices, and apple cider. It was pretty tasty. I liked it better than the butterbeer.
House glasses
This is what was left of Nagini. Nagini was very tasty.
And that's a wrap on the Harry Potter parties......except we're going to do something for the Fantastic Beasts movies, and we're going to celebrate Harry's 40th birthday at the end of July.
