I am not quite the blogging fool I used to be (now just a fool-lol) Bridger has his birthday party 2 saturdays ago and I am just now adding text to the pictures I uploaded last week. One day I will get it together. (It used to be any fleeing thought I had went on my blog- now I am lucky to get semi- major events in the Jacobs' lives typed out.)
As by the title- you can tell that Bridger had a Harry Potter birthday. (He wanted a Chuck E Cheese birthday- but lately the idea of eating crappy pizza in a germ infested room with 500,000 other kids doesn't apeal to me that much- I have no idea why- so I talked him into a HP party instead)
Bridger loves HP so we did some things from the stories.
We made wands. They were chocolate liquorice (cuz not everyone loves black like I do) dipped in white chocolate and sprinkled with magic (no- just fun sprinkles)

We had a dragon egg hunt.
But the most favorite thing that they did was make their own potions. We had jars with dragon tears, pond slime unicorn urine, moon dew, extract of eel eye and a sleeping potion (don't be worried- it was really just kool-aid)
and then things to add to their brew to make a true potion 
Mandrake root- candy orange slices
Of course they had to test out their own potions.
Since cupcakes are all the rage these days (and much easier to work with) we made Wizard hat (sugar cones dipped in chocolate and added the famous HP lightening bolt!
Bridger unwrapped his gifts.....
Then we sent the kiddos home with a Cauldron of goodies (yes- it is a sand-pail. You try finding cauldrons in June) Some things that went in the cauldrons were........
Some Honey Dukes candy floss
Dumbledore's bubbles
Potter's Potions
and the Sorcerer's Stone. (Yes- I'm sure all the parent's loved that I sent their child home with slime)
It was a fun Birthday party to participate in and put on. I still can't believe my little guy is 6!
and then things to add to their brew to make a true potion Mandrake root- candy orange slicesbloodworms- gummy worms
frog brain- gummy octopus
Spider silk- cotton candy
Chinese grubs- gummy grubs
Exploding fleas- pop rocks (which really sizzled when added to liquid)
They added their mixtures by using medicine droppers (that I seem to have 10 million of) The boys couldn't get a whole lot out with the droppers- so my smart husband came out with a turkey baster. (Then we were cookin'-lol)
