Dirty Harry

---

I love Harry Potter. My honeymoon was at Universal Studios, just to see Harry Potter World. My top tourist priority in England was the Harry Potter Studio Tour.

When my friend asked for a Harry Potter Bachelorette Party, I was overjoyed to Jacquify it from a children’s book, into a naughty romance novel.

Signature drinks

Butterbeer

At Universal Studios, my husband and I bought two Butterbeers, and carefully sampled them to dissect how they were made. As far as we could determine, they had translated butterbeer into a combination of root beer and cream soda, with a whipped, butterscotch topping. I made this into an alcoholic drink for my party.

Recipe:

• Butterscotch Liqueur
• Vodka
• Clear Cream-soda (I can find this most easily at gas stations in small bottles)
• Root Beer
• Spray-on whipped cream

The amounts you use, depend heavily on how strong you want your drink to be. Mine gets stronger as the night goes on!

Veritaserum

This one is easy. You just label the vodka “Veritaserum.”

For anyone who isn’t deeply familiar with Harry Potter: Veritaserum is the clear, tasteless potion that makes people tell the truth. And hey, Vodka checks off two out of the three!

Imperious Curse Dare Cards

Back of card:

• Picture of Voldemort, Flinging a Curse.
• Caption says: “You have been put under the Imperious Curse. You must do what this card says!”

Front of Card:

• See the ‘Bachelorette Dare‘ page, coming out next week, for details of dares.

Food

• Penis Cupcakes with the sign “Partially Transfigured Penis Cupcakes”
• Every Flavour Beans. You can find these at many stores that sell candy.
• There are lots of free printable labels online to make normal food, seem like Harry Potter food. See picture below.
• I also made gold foil wrapped chocolate balls into golden snitches.

• If you want to put in a lot of effort, there are recipes out there for pumpkin pasties. I made some after visiting Harry Potter World, because I was disappointed that they had featured pumpkin tarts, instead of pumpkin pasties.
  • I used the recipe from the Unofficial Harry Potter Cookbook by Dinah Bucholz.

Pins

Okay, here’s the part I get really excited about! This is where my penchant for making puns, really shines.

(See ‘Bachelorettes‘ page for more info on how and why to make pins.)

Unfortunately, I have lost all the pictures of us wearing the pins, even after searching old laptops.

Here is a list of the funny things, you could put on your pins:

1. I swear I didn’t slip you love potion
2. I solemnly swear that I am up to no good
3. Is your wand made of hardwood?
4. Let me hold your wand
5. You’re under my spell
6. Are you just chasing my golden snitch?
7. Wanna see my lightning scar?
8. Can I ride your broomstick?
9. The Sorting Hat sent me to your place
10. What’s the spell that lets you see through clothes?
11. I’ll Hufflepuff you
12. Want to join me under this invisibility cloak?
13. Is Hagrid that big everywhere?
14. Can I touch your Hairy Potter?
15. I’d love to play with your Quidditch balls
16. We’re one Weasley Twin short of a threesome
17. Touch my Portkey (arrow downwards)
18. Do you want to Slytherin-side me?
19. Put your Basilisk into my Chamber of Secrets
20. Is that Nagini in your pants or are you just happy to see me?
21. If I give you the Sorting Hat, can you pull out your Sword of Gryffindor?
22. I’ll give you a night even a memory charm won’t make you forget
23. Professor Trelawney says we’re meant to be together
24. I require you in my Room of Requirement
25. Sorry, I don’t date muggles
26. Are you hung like a centaur?
27. I like to be punished like Dobby
28. Do you know the password to get into my portrait hole?

Decoration

This was my main decoration at my Harry Potter Party. I used fishing line to hang the letters from the ceiling to look like the movie. I also used some to hang pretend candles from the ceiling over the table.
