We grew up on the books; we've watched all the movies; we've visited all the theme parks; we've re-created all the recipes; so what's there left to do other than to throw an epic Harry Potter-themed Christmas party? From Mrs. Weasley's Christmas fudge to Hogwarts' cherry-studded ham and flaming Christmas pudding, this feast includes everything you need to feel like you're part of the wizarding world.
Set up your coffee table to include a slew of sweet treats, including homemade butterbeer, Honeydukes candies, ugly Christmas sweater cookies, golden snitch chocolates, licorice wands, and Mrs. Weasley's chocolate fudge.
Serve up pints of piping hot homemade butterbeer in clear glass mugs.
Pipe each of your guest's initials on Mrs. Weasley's ugly Christmas sweater cookies for a personal touch.
It's heartwarming watching each guest all find the right cookie!
If you're lucky, you or someone you know is going to Universal Studios in Orlando, FL, (or London) and can pick up a bunch of candies from Honeydukes. However, if not, there's always Jelly Belly's Bertie Bott's Every Flavor Beans and Chocolate Frogs, which can be ordered online.
In addition to the Honeydukes candy, make a batch of chocolate fudge and sprinkle some edible gold stars on top for a touch of magic.
Cut them into bite-size pieces, because the fudge is as good as it is rich.
Ferrero Rocher and yellow feathers make up picture-perfect golden snitch chocolates.
Sprinkles, white chocolate, and fruit rope is all you need to re-create licorice wands.
Stack them in short glasses for the taking.
Sort of makes you want to perform a spell, huh?
Just like the feast offered at Warner Bros. Studio in London, the table includes flaming Christmas pudding, brussels sprouts, cherry-studded ham, and roasted potatoes.
Once you try this method of roasting potatoes, you'll never turn back. It's easy enough to tackle on a weeknight.
As for the main event, prepping and roasting this cherry-studded ham couldn't be easier, but the flavor will make you think otherwise.
OK, the only truly involved recipe is this flaming Christmas pudding, which does require two days of steaming.
Flaming the pudding is easier and safer than you think, so don't be afraid.
Every detail is for the diehard Harry Potter fan.
