We grew up on the books; we've watched all the movies; we've visited all the theme parks [1]; we've re-created all the recipes [2]; so what's there left to do other than to throw an epic Harry Potter-themed Christmas party [3]? 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.
The Dessert Table
Set up your coffee table to include a slew of sweet treats, including homemade butterbeer [4], Honeydukes [5] candies, ugly Christmas sweater cookies [6], golden snitch chocolates [7], licorice wands [8], and Mrs. Weasley's chocolate fudge [9].
Butterbeer
Serve up pints of piping hot homemade butterbeer [10] in clear glass mugs [11].
Mrs. Weasley's Ugly Christmas Sweater Cookies
Pipe each of your guest's initials on Mrs. Weasley's ugly Christmas sweater cookies [12] for a personal touch.
Mrs. Weasley's Ugly Christmas Sweater Cookies
It's heartwarming watching each guest all find the right cookie!
Honeydukes Candy
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 [13]. However, if not, there's always Jelly Belly's Bertie Bott's Every Flavor Beans and Chocolate Frogs [14], which can be ordered online.
Mrs. Weasley's Chocolate Fudge
In addition to the Honeydukes candy, make a batch of chocolate fudge [15] and sprinkle some edible gold stars [16] on top for a touch of magic.
Mrs. Weasley's Chocolate Fudge
Cut them into bite-size pieces, because the fudge is as good as it is rich.
Golden Snitch Chocolates
Ferrero Rocher and yellow feathers make up picture-perfect golden snitch chocolates [17].

Licorice Wands
Sprinkles, white chocolate, and fruit rope is all you need to re-create licorice wands [18].
Licorice Wands
Stack them in short glasses for the taking.
Licorice Wands
Sort of makes you want to perform a spell, huh?
The Feast
Just like the feast offered at Warner Bros. Studio in London [19], the table includes flaming Christmas pudding [20], brussels sprouts [21], cherry-studded ham [22], and roasted potatoes [23].
Mustard Roasted Potatoes
Once you try this method of roasting potatoes [24], you'll never turn back. It's easy enough to tackle on a weeknight.
Roasted Brussels Sprouts
Ditto on the brussels sprouts [25].
Cherry-Studded Ham
As for the main event, prepping and roasting this cherry-studded ham [26] couldn't be easier, but the flavor will make you think otherwise.
Flaming Christmas Pudding
OK, the only truly involved recipe is this flaming Christmas pudding [27], which does require two days of steaming.
Flaming Christmas Pudding
Flaming the pudding is easier and safer than you think, so don't be afraid.
Tablescape
Every detail is for the diehard Harry Potter [28] fan.
Happy Christmas!
