My brother Leland sent a link to his pictures from the Hogwarts Halloween party posted on Flickr. They are really good, and there’s some close ups of a few people I know I hadn’t seen yet as well.
Leland came as “the Crystal Wizard” Sy Okzeetoo (Sigh awk-ZEE-two) from the chemical symbol of quartz, SiO2. I thought that was a brilliant name! He even had business cards to hand out!
Wendy Leaumont send us a link to her pictures from the Hogwarts Halloween today.
Wendy came as Serena from Bewitched, and her husband (our friend) Dave came as Tim the Enchanter, from Monty Python’s Holy Grail. He actually made a head piece with real goat horns on it!
Pictured here are my mom and dad as Mother Goose and the Minister of Magic Cornelius Fudge. There are lots of good ones, so go check them out!
We did a lot to decorate and theme the party this year. From hanging jack-o-lanterns with invisible fishing line, to providing a hand made wand (thanks to Mike Teuber) to every guest. One thing we did that helped add to the ambiance and atmosphere was to print a few large Harry Potter theme posters.
Here’s a look at the 3 we made and then had printed. They were each 22 x 34 inches and mounted on foam core.
If you’d like to download the PDFs to print these yourself, please feel free to do so here. If you do use them, please email us and let us know… even send pictures of how you used them. If you link to them, please give us credit. Oh, and the Potion Brew poster is 10 meg… big images.

Here are pictures my dad took at the party. Click on the images to see the bigger ones. If you’d like a print of any one of them, you are welcome to download it and print it out, or email us and let me know what image you’d like and my dad can mail you a print (for a small fee of course).
Here is the first picture from the 2007 Hogwarts Halloween. It is Hagrid (yours truly in my home-made Hagrid costume) with Professor Trelawney (Celeste).
The party was a huge success with around 60 attendees. The costumes were AMAZING!!! And we would like to say a big thank you to everyone who attended!
There will be more pictures (lots more) on here soon.
