20 Harry Potter Hen Party Ideas

20 Harry Potter Hen Party Ideas

Is the bride-to-be crazy about Harry Potter? Don’t worry we have you covered with 20 ideas to make sure her hen party goes with a magical bang! 

Themed Decorations - Transform your venue into Hogwarts with banners for each house, floating candles, and themed table settings. Use colors representing Gryffindor, Slytherin, Hufflepuff, and Ravenclaw.

Fancy Dress Party - Ask the girls to dress as their favorite characters from the series. You could even have a best-dressed competition with fun prizes. We love the idea of drawing your character from a hat so it’s fair! 

Potions Class - Host a cocktail-making session where guests can create their own “potions.” Provide a selection of colorful mixers and garnishes that resemble magical ingredients. There are some cocktail experiences that can facilitate this so you can arrive in Harry Potter fancy dress and get creative! 

Quiz - Organise a Harry Potter quiz to test everyone’s knowledge. You could have rounds focusing on different books, characters, and magical creatures. Get into teams and see who will take the crown! 

Themed Food and Drinks - Serve food inspired by the series, like Butterbeer (a butterscotch-flavored drink), Chocolate Frogs, and Bertie Bott’s Every Flavor Beans. 

Hogwarts Acceptance Letters - Send out invitations to the hen party styled like acceptance letters to Hogwarts, complete with wax seals for an authentic touch.

Magic Wand Making - Set up a crafting station where hens can decorate their own magic wands using sticks, paints, and embellishments. *Flick and swish* 

Quidditch Game -  If you have an outdoor space, organise a mini Quidditch match. Use hula hoops for goals and broomsticks for a fun, active game. Did you know they actually play Quidditch for real in the West Country, an idea for a Bristol hen do, even if just watching them play.

Photo Booth - Create a photo booth with Hogwarts props like scarves, glasses, and wands for memorable and funny pictures.

Film Marathon - End the night with a Harry Potter film marathon, with popcorn and themed snacks.

Escape Room Adventure - Book a Harry Potter-themed escape room experience where guests can work together to solve puzzles and challenges to "escape" the wizarding world.

Magical Makeup Session - Hire a makeup artist to provide magical-inspired makeovers, allowing the girls to channel their inner witches and wizards with enchanting looks.

Sorting Hat Ceremony - Start the party with a sorting ceremony to divide guests into Hogwarts houses. You can use a Sorting Hat prop or create a fun quiz to determine each girl's house. Will you be Slitheryn? 

Wizarding World Scavenger Hunt - Organise a scavenger hunt with clues and tasks related to Harry Potter. This can take place around your venue or at a local green space. 

Potter-themed Games - Play games such as "Pin the Scar on Harry," Harry Potter Bingo, or a Harry Potter version of charades.

Themed Cake - Order a cake designed to resemble the Hogwarts castle or a favorite character. Alternatively, you could have cupcakes decorated with house colors or symbols.

Wizard Crafting Station - Set up a station for hens to create their own house banners or decorate potion bottles. This can double as a fun activity and a keepsake.

Wizarding World Bevvies - Serve themed drinks like “Polyjuice Potion” (green smoothies) or “Felix Felicis” (a sparkling drink). Consider non-alcoholic options as well for everyone to enjoy.

Magic Show - Hire a magician to perform a magic show during the party. This adds an interactive and entertaining element to the celebration.

Memory Book - Create a memory book where each hen can write down their favorite moments or share advice for the bride-to-be. Include prompts related to the Harry Potter series to keep it on theme.
