In a recent Book Blogger Hop, the topic was Literary Halloween Costumes and I mentioned that we had an awesome plan for our team at work.
Well, I can finally share what that idea was!! Which, as you can see, was a Harry Potter theme!
On our team we had:
- A Hufflepuff student
- Nymphadora Tonks
- Luna Lovegood
- Ginny Weasley
- Bellatrix Lestrange
- The Golden Snitch
- Hermione Granger
- Albus Dumbledore
- Harry Potter
- A Patronus
- An Owl
- Ron Weasley
- Professor Mcgonagall
- Severus Snape
- Draco Malfoy
The hallway leading to our room looked so fun! We had lots of plastic stuck to the wall that looked like a rock wall. There was signage and torches. Which all lead up to Platform 9 3/4. When you stepped through the wall, you entered the great hall.
Our conference room that we turned into the great hall looked awesome! The team blacked out the windows and we had things all over the place; floating candles, flickering table candles, owls, howlers, house banners, and more! We also turned the electric fireplace on and had Harry Potter playing on the TV.
Check out some more photos from the event below:

I had an inkling this is what you all settled on and I love it! You Hufflepuff robe makes me want to hunt down a Ravenclaw one for myself. Ha, the howler!
Erica Metcalf says
π Oh my gosh, get one! It's SO warm and comfy!! I found mine for $45 but the Spirit Store had a sale going on, so I got free shipping and saved $5 on top of that!
Jenny says
Thatβs looks awesome! I donβt envy the people who had to decorate but it sure is beautiful.
Erica Metcalf says
haha! I missed out on most of the decorating because of my sinus infection (my face was POUNDING the afternoon they were all working on it), but I set up a lot of the small candles that were scattered around the next morning π
Angela Lawrence says

Now that looks amazing, people never cease to amaze me with their craftiness. I hate to admit this, but never did get into Harry Potter, I feel like I'm too old for it. And I work at home, so nope no dressing up, just reading a scary novella with halloween music in the background. Happy Halloween!
Erica Metcalf says
Right?! I'm not very crafty… I wish I was!
Shooting Stars Mag says
Oh my god, your work is amazing. How fun would it be to have a HP party at work?! And where did you get your robe? It looks so cute, and cozy! The flying car is really cool – whoever made that did a great job.
