Have you got a Harry Potter fan at your house? Our family has been reading the Sorcerer's Stone. To celebrate reading the last chapter, we decided to have a Harry Potter party.
Below you will find the recipe for a very potent and dangerous ingredient... dragon's blood. Obviously a potion requirement for any serious witch or wizard.
The secret ingredients are:
1 Cup Sugar
1 Cup Water
2 Cups Quartered Strawberries
Our little witch got right to work.
Of course, all real witches need a cat.

Below are a few fun finds from Amazon if you want to take your potions lab up a notch:
If you want to be frugal, we used dish-washed flower vases and upcycled jelly and syrup jars as beakers. We searched through our dress-up bin and grabbed our sorcerer and witch costume. Of course, these things are not branded Harry Potter, but... honestly, the kids don't care. They imagined the magical world of Harry Potter.
Our party also included chocolate pretzel wands and edible Sorcerer's Stones. We munched as we enjoyed the last chapter of the book!
