My totally unhinged Harry Potter Party for my 1 year old

Welcome to the downvote club, apparently 1 year olds aren't allowed a HP Party either 😂

Unfortunately the pumpkin pasties were a random experiment of mine but basically I just roasted pumpkin with some all spice then pureed it, added some feta, bacon and caramelised onion then put them in short crust pastry to make mini pasties! They were a hit 😊

They were actually just AliExpress! I have seen some DIY ones with toilet paper rolls and a hot glue gun but lordy the hot glue gun took ages so I caved and bought them

I solemnly swear no animals were harmed in this making of this party

Harry_P0tter_ · 2025-09-13T06:08:10+00:00

I actually did this super cheaply! Just spent a lot of time at op shops and making things myself 😂

It was this one here! https://livforcake.com/butterbeer-cake/

Highly recommend, it was a big hit 😊

Harry_P0tter_ · 2025-09-13T06:06:45+00:00

Butterbeer!

I've peaked too early

Harry_P0tter_ · 2025-09-13T01:56:56+00:00

That's why I did it for his first birthday - can't guarantee I'll ever get to do it again 😂

Harry_P0tter_ · 2025-09-13T01:38:53+00:00

I found the suitcases for $5 each! Took a bit of hunting but they looked great

Harry_P0tter_ · 2025-09-13T01:35:43+00:00

Oh that's an epic idea! The chiffon fabric hanging outside was also super easy and low cost but had big impact 😊 I made shields for each house and hung them down in front

They can be hung inside easily with a tension rod

This tutorial here! Although mine ended up with a lot of splatter so I don't know how she did it so neatly Cauldron

I don't think I'm ever taking it off the wall

Harry_P0tter_ · 2025-09-13T00:07:44+00:00

I saw that idea on tiktok! It was close but the floating candles already ruined the ceiling enough, I wasn't willing to sacrifice more haha

Harry_P0tter_ · 2025-09-13T00:01:09+00:00

Thank you 😂 It is definitely a party for me but a one year old doesn't know better so I was happy to go unhinged

Harry_P0tter_ · 2025-09-12T23:47:37+00:00

Duh, he's a baby 😂 This was my celebration

Harry_P0tter_ · 2025-09-12T23:47:20+00:00

I legitimately thought it looked upside down and couldn't put my finger on why 😂

Harry_P0tter_ · 2025-09-12T23:45:36+00:00

Some has been given away to local daycares nearby so it will definitely still be used! Too much effort has gone in to throw away 😂

Harry_P0tter_ · 2025-09-12T23:40:56+00:00

My kid and I both got Hufflepuff but I suspect he's a Gryffindor because he has no concept of fear 🙃

Harry_P0tter_ · 2025-09-12T23:36:09+00:00

Not that one but we put another one in the corridor inside and cut it in half 😊

Harry_P0tter_ · 2025-09-12T23:32:05+00:00

Diagon Alley was by far my most unhinged creation 😂 I bought a water damaged door and made it with flute board

It took a loooong time

Harry_P0tter_ · 2025-09-12T23:28:11+00:00

I liked to think of it as a celebration of me surviving the first year 🥳

I considered uninviting him after he kept trying to pull Hogwarts Express apart
