Harry Potter Yule Ball

Sorting (each guest will draw a colored piece of paper out of a witch’s hat. Red=Gryffindor, Yellow=Hufflepuff, Blue=Ravenclaw, and Green=Slytherin)

After the sorting, guests will be seated at house tables.

They will partake of refreshments (Bertie Botts Every Flavor Beans, Licorice Wands, Lemon Drops, Pumpkin Bread, Cheese, Crackers, and Butterbeer) while playing Harry Potter Jeopardy (on house teams of course)

There are 2 craft options: Make Your Own Whomping Willow and an Origami Christmas Tree.

Horcrux Scavenger Hunt (again on house teams, no clues…just a thorough search of the library)
