Ideas for games - Harry Potter party

[suebfg]

My DS will be four soon and he really wants a Harry Potter party. Does anyone have any suggestions for suitable games? There will be about 8 children there - mix of boys and girls.

I would play some old-fashioned party games like musical bumps, pass the parcel, hunt the thimble, musical statues etc and then give a Harry Potter figurine or wand or colouring book etc as a prize. As long as they all win something they will be happy.

How about a horcrux hunt? Search for the ring, locket etc....

You could do some potions stuff - make slime or gloop with cornflour and water and some food colouring, fizzing stuff with bicarbonate and food colouring and vinegar....

I know you can buy chocolate frog moulds from eBay - maybe get the kidsto make them to take home?

Ooo, some good ideas thanks. What's a horcrux hunt though? Am I being thick :)
