Holy Crap It's my 300 post! And I have about 300 pictures in this one to. Ok so not really but itis a big one, so big that I had to chop it in thirds, so more fun to come. But this last Friday marked the end of the Harry Potter era. Angie, Jan, and I are HUGE HUGE HUGE Harry Potter fans and so we weren't going to let this go by without some sort of something. Luckily for us Angie's in laws are also huge fans and were going to throw a Potter party. We knew this wasn't something to miss so we abandoned our families for a couple days (our husbands were so kind and caring to let us do this and to realize that this was a big deal for us, thank you so much!) and drove up to Salt Lake. We got there a littlr early so we could help set up for the party. We had Kings Cross Station platform 9 3/4 which was the entrance.
I bought a funny tabloid and chaged the cover so it could be the Quibbler, I also found some glasses that very much looked like Luna's Spectrespecs.



A wand making station.

The Hogwarts house tables to sit at once you got sorted


he he he, I went out and bought a life size Harry Potter. He ended up being the photo opt of the party.








Here we are getting sorted into our houses. (By the way they made their own sorting hat them crafty little devils) I got Hufflepuff, Angie got Griffindor, and Jan got Ravenclaw.



Then we did a lap around the quidditch pitch!



Coming through Kings cross Station! So excited to be at Hogwarts!



We put our names into theGoblet of Fire later on for a prize drawing.








Pulling names out of the Goblet.

Angie won the spectrespecs so we all had to get pictures to make sure our heads weren't full of wackspurts





Then when it got dark we watched Harry Potter 7 part 1.

Getting our beloved Harry POtter ticket.






Then we piled into the car, and we had to take Harry with us. We hung him out the sun roof while driving down the road and got the giggles.





Then we brought him into the theatre to take pictures with all the "celebrities."









Sitting int the theatre, of which we took up the whole back row!



Then being so sad that it was coming to a close(not real tears)



It was such a good movie, but now that Harry Potter is over I am so sad. NOOO!!! Oh well, it went out with a bang and we now have wonderful memories of a wonderful week!
